I honestly don't know how I'll get through this.

The brain fog/forgetting!!! It feels like I am constantly forgetting what I was about to do!

Doctors didn't think babies could feel pain until the '80s, or at least it wouldn't matter because they wouldn't really remember it anyway. I think anytime they are literally tearing chunks out of your cervix you need a little more than an ibuprofen. If they would give a man painkillers for the same procedure on their genitals then they need to give the same for women.

Omg yes!!!! I entered perimenopause last October and it’s been nothing but anxiety, panic attacks, irritability, mood swings, crying outbursts, heart palpitations are the worst, crawling skin feeling, tingly arms and hands, brain fog, fatigue, constant worry and fear , and the feeling of going crazy! It’s terrifying! I don’t want on antidepressants. I take magnesium and other vitamins to cope but to think how long this can last is frightening. I’ll be 41 soon btw. Thank you for your videos! Your been a huge part of my perimenopause journey! ❤️

I have ABSOLUTELY not been feeling like myself. Tasks that I used to enjoy are filled with so much anxiety. Driving is so hard for me now because I get so anxious. The night sweats are horrible and my work day is filled with fatigue and brain fog.

Since I first heard you say this, I went off alcohol during the week entirely. Drank sleepy tea instead. Still doesn't work for me. I still don't drink during the week, simply because it's better for me and my blood sugar, but it really hasn't helped improve my sleep. I'm 60 and am approaching the end of menopause (I HOPE SOON) but still wake with night sweats and racing thoughts. I'm SO ready for this to be over, but wonder if it really will ever be over?

I especially when i hear sudden sounds it is as if my heart drops 200 meters down... as if you are falling from the top of a rollercoaster! such a sudden intense feeling is bad for my cortisol. I can't control it!

My friend received “bio-identical” pellets for years. She talked about how amazing her sex life was. Unfortunately, she is no longer with us as she developed breast cancer that quickly spread through her body.

At 42 is normal?

Have not been feeling myself since Oct 23! Feeling heavy, depressed no mood just wanted to be left allowed however I am a nurse consultant so have to work! I felt like i had cancer! Then the penny dropped! My GP did all my bloods and I was low in zinc foilc acid iron B12 and vit d and perimenopause!! Now on all vitamins and fibre protein and started my HRT gel 2 weeks ago and feel back to normal and a better version of me! Thank you for all you advice and posts! They have helped so much!!

Praise Jesus! Finally! People are recognizing this. I’m 57 years old and have been feeling like this and struggling with a myriad of these symptoms! It wasn’t until I found this platform that I realized what was going on. I’m now on HRT and feeling so much better. Note: I have always watched what I ate, exercised and did all the things to maintain a healthy lifestyle and still experienced all of these symptoms (and more). Ladies, the struggle has been real. But I’m so grateful to have found Dr. Haver and her research!

I'm 55 in 2 months...until this month regular periods. This month I had one day...the nothing, now 2 weeks of period. Suggestions?

it's criminal it took this long to study female anatomy like this? and i know it's mostly because women finally got to study and work... which is kind of depressing it took until that

I’m 40 I actually just got on hormone treatment for the very first time for PMDD. I didn’t bother bringing it up anytime sooner in my life because I thought all they would give me as an anti-depressant and I already went down that road in my 20s and all the meds they gave me almost destroyed my life. I’ve been on disability since I was 21 for my mental health. I just took the progesterone for two weeks last month and I cannot believe what a difference it made. If every month goes like this last month does I might not need my disability. All of this time struggling. I can’t believe I didn’t find a provider I felt like I could trust enough to ask sooner but I’m grateful I have the progesterone now.

Yes I was told prior to my procedure to take ibuprofen pain would be minimal, after the procedure I started to pass out because of the pain, I thought I just had to take it and I have a high tolerance of pain!

The men in the comments determined it's not menopause's fault

I figured that was common knowledge.

Nope. If the only thing that keeps you married to a man is having an orgasm once in awhile then he's just a shitty partner

Does any of this apply to labour or thereafter?

I´m 42, with symptoms from 38, and yet still I was month ago told I´m too young. It took me 4 years realize what is happening. I didn´t visit any doctor, because I didn´t want to be WW. But when I put all my shit together and went to my doc, I was suddenly too young to be experiencing it. Like hello, tell it to my body it´s too young to put me through that!

I'm having regular period but having some of this symptoms. Am I in perimenopause stage. Im 42.

I'm struggling like mad with my P.M. I hate it, I hate it bad. My chronic pain is worse, the sweating, the belly, I feel strange mentally too. I've had enough now and can't do this for another 10+ years and the rage is unreal!

I love the fun side of you😊

Why should we have to ask?

I was 24 when I began experiencing night sweats and hot flushes

I am Peri. I have horrendous anxiety, depression, brain fog, no concentration, no memory, yet as I have not started menopause yet I can't get treatment, as the NHS won't start HRT until you have not had a period for a year

What!?! Testosterone makes you fat??? I dont unferstand this at all. I thought T gave energy , drive and supported muscles and bones. Would that not make you more active and then not have fat?

I've read that ground flaxseeds lose nutritional value in a short amount of time, and it's better to get seeds and then ground them as you need them to keep their freshness.

My sister in law had a cervical biopsy and her doctor told her it would be very painful and suggested anesthesia. They removed 10 polyps 🥴🤦🏻‍♀️. Has pre cancer😞

Hi Doc, I'm in 40's, still single..lots of issues High b.p low glycemic index ,brain fog ,lots of anxiety weight gain what to do Doc I'm using Magnesium glycine, vit D3, I don't which diet and supplements shld I use . Thanx Regards ❤🎉

Okay, we all know this now. Please advise what we can do AFTER 59.

I started full blown perimenopause at the week of my 44th birthday with my first crazy feeling on anxiety I’ve never felt before I noticed it started in my head like I was going crazy this happened when I was on trips like on a cruise or in mountains out of no where it would hit me two months later my estrogen levels kept dropping closer together and didn’t know what it was until my dr confirmed it was perimenopause and gave me ssri nothing else. I couldn’t stand the feeling anymore at work or anywhere I went therefore I did research and went to my gyno and started me with estradiol birth control after a couple months I started feeling a little bit better and heard experts like Dr haver and more and he started me then on HRT and been on it for a month and half although I’m getting break through bleeding it says Clamira is part of the side effect.. waiting to feel even better in a few weeks on the lowest dose. 🙏

That’s how pain pill fentanyl heroin oxy Cotton addiction begins right here she’s not gonna die. She’s crying get over it. They can feel a little pain. It’s well worth it to not die fentanyl overdose because you had a procedure that was uncomfortable pain manageability come on when we gonna learn after everyone’s dead get it together

ABSOLUTELY BARBARIC!! It’s ENRAGING that they let women suffer through procedures like this. I asked for Pain meds for the 2nd endometrial biopsy I had for infertility diagonsis after suffering thru my first biopsy, being told to take ibuprofen which did nothing to help the severe pain! They said it is not protocol to provide any type of pain relief medication. Such BULLSHIT!! Absolutely Barbaric.. no woman should ever have to suffer thru these procedures albeit awake to feel everything.

You can't ask. If you ask you're told we don't do that, you'll be fine, take an otc nsaid. After that you are tagged as drug seeking in your chart. The medical profession is no longer one that we can count on for help or trust. I don't even go anymore since I don't get any help. I only go if I absolutely have to.

HRT got me back to "feeling like myself" after years of not knowing WHAT was wrong but that SOMETHING was. Great video!

I had it done also they told me to take a Tylenol 1hr before going in , It did only feel like a pinch and i was ok. Not sure what they did to her. But this is good to know

What is the added progesterone from my birth control going to do when I go into menopause

Yep I know as put on statin when I went into menopause for high cholesterol and I’ve been in them for 15 years 😬

It's been 35 yrs and I remember this being done to me the pain OMG everyone in the lobby heard me screaming 😢

Add to that breakthrough bleeding on the CONTINUOUS (mini) pill (no placebo) and intense migraines…. 😣

I have a Christian Healthcare Sharing plan instead of regular (outrageously expensive) insurance that I don’t want to be part of anyway, but I heard bioidentical was $600/month, so $30/month sounds MUCH better!! I so appreciate your information!!! ❤❤

I feel ripped off with the price of these compounded hormone creams and troches. Is outrageous

Yes! Can’t think straight -requiring much more energy to recruit the brain capacity to do the job I’ve done for years. I feeling on edge so much , I find myself holding my breath. I have less patience for the experiences I notably had loads of patience for in the past.

Le niveau de curiosité intellectuelle de cette communauté est revigorant. C'est un bonheur d'être entouré d'esprits aussi curieux.💋

One mojito for me equaled zero sleep

I've had three of these procedures over the last six years. I was in miserable pain for the few days immediately following the procedure. I was afraid to even ask, to be honest. I'm glad you covered this. Thank you. I'll remember this in the event I may need the procedure again.

Is the estrodial & progesterone you use a prescription or otc?

I had a biopsy and was told it will feel a little stonger than a pap smear. I was given nothing before - told nothing before - given nothing Rx to take home with me. Wasn't told best to have someone to drive you to & from. I almost crashed my car on the way home. Mascara runnign down my face - shaking and that night almos twent to ER the pain was so bad. Then I've read other women Doctors give them numbing cream to put up there an hour before, sedative to take an hour before and and Rx for hight strength Ibuprofen to take home. I was also bleeding already before the horrific procedure which is why I was having it AND was bleeding like a stuck pig for days afterward. So I did get a Dx of endo cancer stage 1 - well then I was flipping out thinking they stirred the pot and the cancer was everywhere. DEFINITELY ASK FOR PROPER PAIN CONTROL! Seeing this triggered me and it's been 4 years damn it! I can feel her pain!

This lady is speaking FACTS
