    This is UNBELIEVABLE. I'm 52. 3 years ago I went to my doctor because of hair loss. I asked if I could be starting menopause. Labs were drawn, the doctor said, no menopause... I started minoxidil with minimal results. I'm continuing but went back to the doctor with severe bone pain. He said given my younger years as an alcoholic, I'm in recovery, I should expect pain and problems. I went back to another doctor and she said no menopause, all my lab looks fine. Finally i went to a derm to address my hair loss, still just dealing with the bone pain, extreme fatigue and brain fog. She looked through my labs and said, girl you are in menopause. She gave me the name of a good gyno who would help. It feels so great just to be validated!!

    I’m 68 and started HRT last year. I was using estradiol patch and progesterone. .075 mg dose patch. I started bleeding and extremely sore breasts. My gynecologist did a D&C to see if I had cancer. All clear and he put me back on HRT. I decided to decrease my dose by cutting my patch in two. I feel better with no symptoms. In fact my urinary incontinence has improved. I’m saying all this to help others because we are the group left out but don’t have to be❤️

    I must’ve had the best OBGYN ever in 2001 when I went menopausal AND it was right after the hault of the WHI study. She explained to me the flaws of the study and that if I didn’t take HRT my health would suffer. I waited a year because I was still afraid to take it but finally did so and now I feel very fortunate. When I told my girlfriends and sisters at the time they just looked at me in horror like I was about to die. Thank goodness there is more awareness and social media to get the information out. With that said we shouldn’t have to get informed this way. At 68 I’m still on HRT patch, vaginal estrogen and micronized progesterone.

I saw one of Angie’s videos on Menopause (thank you Angie!!!❤️) and decided to find a dr who would prescribe HRT (mine wouldn’t). Found Midi health and now I’m down 50 pounds, no more symptoms AT ALL. I fell like I’m 35 instead of 53. I’ve shared Dr Haver’s videos with at least a dozen women now!! Thank you thank you Dr Haver!

    Honestly, medical terminology needs updating. Women of the world deserve apologies from Medical Institutions for continuing to use deflating and condescending language to describe women after 30. Examples: A woman after 30 is having a "geriatric" pregnancy and after 60/70 a woman has a senile vagina! Yep, get it that the ovaries are dying but its already hard enough. Change the language! After 40, already ageism is rife for getting a job or keeping a high level job.. Society had been shouting "not good enough", "work harder", "be more..of everything" all our lives... these conversations are crucial.. Thank you forever, Angie.. Your research and sharing elevates us. Women of all ages, we need to be seen, celebrated and respected far better globally...medically, socially, financially, professional, mentally, physically & emotionally.. Here's to women supporting women, and to healthy men and non-binary supporting their sisters... Angie, You are a leader. Respect & Love to you. ❤❤❤

In last 3 years, I've been dealing with palpitations, tinnitus, brain fog, joint pain, tired all the time, etc. Listening to the Dr I'm blown away. Just last month, done with hot flashes, I asked for HRT. Have not started, as there is a delay in getting the progesterone. I'm excited now to start. My mom, in her 80s, still takes estrogen since she was in her 40s, and she's always full of energy. I'm the one that feels like I'm in my 80s.

    My menopause symptoms are 99% vaginal. EXTREME dryness, from one day to the next when I turned 50. I actually considered that not being here would be a better alternative than the hell I was experiencing 24/7. Burning, stinging, pain to the point that sitting hurt, wearing pants hurt, walking hurt. I tried lubes, aloe vera, coconut oil…everything!!! Constant bladder infections, multiple bladder scopes. IF I had sex, I would have pain, pressure, burning for 5-6 days after. Finally, my GYN gave me estrogen suppositories and my life got so much better. Then, when my periods stopped, I STOPPED sleeping. I would get MAYBE 2-3 hours a night. A new GYN finally put me on HRT. My life is 100% better! I still, after three years on it, have some vaginal issues, and need estradiol tablets internally + cream externally. I am now 57. I have sex 2-4 times a week, no more bladder infections, I sleep 9 hours a night and lift heavy weights 4-5 days a week. I will NEVER go off of HRT!

    My main symptoms were a little trouble sleeping and a little incontinence which I had accepted as “Well, at least I’m not having a hard time with menopause. I don’t need HRT.” And then I got a diagnosis of osteoporosis at the age of 53!!!
    I started estradiol patch with oral micronized progesterone and vaginal testosterone. Immediately I was sleeping SO WELL-in a way that I didn’t realize I was missing! I’m a month in and my incontinence is better. And I have started a comprehensive program with a trainer for strength and bones. We will see how it goes for the osteoporosis.

      My GYN prescribed it specifically to address my osteoporosis. It is not true that they don’t prescribe testosterone unless transitioning. Maybe that’s just your doctor’s standard due to lack of information. I would recommend to find a NAMS approved doctor. Or even take the peer reviewed literature to your current doctor to discuss your understanding of how it is used and why you would like to use it. They may have some valid reason why it’s not for you but to say there is no place for it unless transitioning is incorrect. We naturally have higher levels of testosterone than estrogen. It’s just so much lower than in males. Good luck!

    Im 67 & been menopausal since 55. Absolutely no symptoms or complaints. Asked my Dr about bioidentical hormones when I turned 56 & she said "why since I was in such good health." I feel for those who do have issues. My Dr said it could be that my diet contributed to no issues as I've eaten organic non-processed foods since the age of 14 & stear clear of seed oils, no alcoholic beverages & don't smoke. Exercise & lift weights. 💪

My PCP and gynecologist are doing the right things so far. I’m 61, and the nurse practitioner at my gynecologist’s office told me at my last checkup that I would have to go off HRT at age 70. If I am still seeing her by the time I approach that age, she and I will be having a discussion about this, and I will find a new provider if I need to do so.

    Post menopausal care and HRT should be included in the healthcare regime for EVERY WOMAN, not just those that can pay extra. It should be fully covered by insurance, the same as peri/post-natal or regular medical care, or medication for other medical issues.
    To my disgust, after my HRT appointment with my Gyne, I received a survey from my very large, well-known, medical group in San Diego. There was only one question - if I would pay extra to go to a women's HRT/menopause clinic. I answered NO !!! The survey didn't even give an opportunity to expand on your response, just yes or no. Women are 50% of the population and our health, over our entire lifespan, deserves to be taken into account.
