Being cooped up for a month is taking its toll on me. I had a hysterectomy at 25, and rely on hormone injections every few months to help maintain, but right now that isn’t considered essential 😔

10 years ago at 38. I feel ya! I never had the hormones though. But I feel for you. What can you do to get estrogen alternatively? Have you tried natural sources? I remember BH (before hyst.) that I would get a natural craving for liver. It would make me feel just a smidge better. BTW, I hate liver, and always have. But it kinda worked.

I’ve not tried liver. I need an alternative because the hot flashes and night sweats are intense. And I just keep sinking further into a depression right now.
