Has anyone here had success with intermittent fasting? I feel like it’s easy to incorporate during the week since mornings are chaotic. The weekends are a different story!!

Had to travel this weekend. A few observations. the plane was least the nerve wracking part of the entire experience. Everyone wearing masks. Middle seats open [SWA]. Plane was spotless.

Airports were empty. Most people wearing masks.
Long lines for food in the airports. Generally social distancing in lines.

Ubers have been stressful, but otherwise ok.I’m going to go wash my hands again.

Is your facility paying for you to get COVID
testing?

Any parents who are still on the safe side with Covid? We have a 1 year old and being safe and staying mostly home is really getting to me. Most of our friends have kids who are able to mask up or are vaccinated and it’s getting quite isolating. Especially now mask mandates are being lifted feeling like we can’t go anywhere without risking our kid.

I’ve slowly started drinking less and less. And the less I’m drinking the more I realize just how much of my time revolved around alcohol. From going to get it, to drinking it to fighting hangovers. Now I realize I need something to fill all that time with. Especially now that I’m not spending all day saturday and sunday deathly hungover. I go for walks and run errands…but in a shock to me…there’s still a lot of time left. How did you start spending your time once you stopped drinking?

Estrogen maybe not the sole protective factor, but progesterone has some known anti-inflammatory effects

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?

I have started 'no screens' hour as the first hour when I wake up and the last hour before I sleep.

I realized there is no need to start thinking of that meeting, or how to create that presentation from the moment I wake up.

I’m around 21 weeks and have been dealing with a lot of leg, tailbone, back, and general muscle pain. Since I do work long hours Monday- Wednesday (10hr +) I’m trying find a comfortable chair to switch to. Any recommendations? Currently I’m switching every hour or so between my kneeling chair and standing.

Oh goodness, been in a working a lot lately and have REG in 6 week... only on Module 2 but probably forgot everything I’ve read since it was a while ago. Is it possible to still pass by then?

Alright y’all. 3 weeks until I take REG. I have gotten through all the material and need a good game plan for the next few weeks. Got a 71 the last two times 😭

Any tips on how to improve lining thickness? My RE had me on Estrace for a week before starting Prometrium (vaginally) a few days ago, but my lining is only a little above 5mm. Looks likely that this FET cycle is going to get canceled (was potentially going to be this weekend) since the lining doesn’t seem to be thick enough. This will be the 3rd transfer cycle that’s getting canceled, it just really sucks...what’s worse is I didn’t see my doctor today, just the sono tech, (cont’d)

Anyone else kind of bored clerking? I liked law school and thought I liked research and writing, but so far this district court clerkship has been pretty boring—lots of state law issues that are poorly briefed. Though to be fair, most of my time has been spent on one big case that I’m 99% sure is going to settle but not until the eve of trial bc that’s plaintiff’s counsel’s m.o.; so my work resolving the insane number of SJ and Daubert motions seems like a waste of my time.

Hello. I am just starting off in the corporate Hr biz. I have done it for small restaurants and now I finally have an opportunity to step it up to a coordinator for a corporate company. I am in California. I have 2 years of running the HR departments of smaller business but now slightly taking a step down but since it’s a bigger company it’s more structured. Anyways. How much do I ask for?

I’ve never been pregnant but I can say that menopause cravings are REAL! Anyone else feel the urge to keep eating all the time?!?

It’s 3 in the morning and I’ve been awake for an hour. Good times.

Hello! I'm reaching out to a Doctor I know who is passionate about Menopause and treatments. Hopefully she can attend a live session. Does anyone else have any other speakers in mind that I could reach out to? I know there was mention of a nutritionist and / or therapy counselor.
Thank you and Happy Holidays!

Anyone else feeling like they are past their prime and just don’t matter anymore? Like I could vanish and it may take weeks before anyone realized I was missing (and yes, I realize hormones are making this happen),

Good Morning All!
I’ve been having some mental issues lately and have no idea if it’s due to my HRT.
If I take .75 of estradiol I still have hot flashes. If I take 1.0 I feel either numb or depressed constantly.
I feel like I’m bearing this battle alone as my Physician’s seem like experimenting with dosing is my only option.
I’ve also consistently done intermittent fasting for two weeks, exercise 5x per week, and am eating better all to lose a whopping .5 lbs. SMH

Welcome to the menopause bowl! This is a supportive place to discuss all facets of menopause as well as HRT. Whether you are in the pre / post or in-between stages, this is the right place for you!

Once we get a few more members I had the following ideas for speakers:
1. OBGYN specializing in menopause/HRT from Duke University
2. Nutrition Counselor
3. Anxiety Coach
Does anyone have other ideas? Please let me know!!

Has anyone here experienced new or worsening anxiety as a result of hormonal changes? I’m having more general anxiety, but also terrible rebound anxiety from alcohol as I get older.

Anyone ever take a biotin or hair supplement to combat thinning hair. Would love ideas.

Anyone else done menopause completely natural?

Hello ladies!! Sorry for lack of engagement as I’ve been spending most of my time leading the WiT bowl. I wanted to let you know we are still on track for a speaker on February 25th. She is a certified menopause practitioner and OB/GYN. She will be answering questions live related to all topics concerning menopause and HRT. Please attend if possible!! When the event is scheduled I will post a link so you can add it to your calendars.

Hi Ladies, just found this group. I'm 59 and post menopausal. Read through some of the threads and can relate to all. Glad to know I'm not alone.

What do you see are the pros and cons of HRT? There are so many conflicting reports! Also how do you know if your dose is too low or too high? The symptoms seem to mimic each other. I’d love to see if we can get a healthcare speaker to chat with about this topic.

Just downloaded an App called MenoLife. It’s free (so far) and is filled with articles, recipes, trackers, etc. they also have products which I may look into. Anyone else try this brand?

I’ve been researching as I enter peri and I’m pretty convinced I want to try low dose birth control to regulate my symptoms. Anyone gone this route and if so what brand do/did you like?
