Has anyone tried supplements for post menopausal thinning hair. So many of them seem like a waste of money.

I like and use Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides. It’s a powder (unflavored). I add it to my coffee and it truly has NO taste at all. I get it from Costco. It has improved the hair thinning.

I haven’t but my hair still seems thick. Are you experiencing thinning hair by the crown or all strands? I know some state they help with nails too.

I am using b complex and just started collagen

Have you noticed any differences? Or does it take some time before you see changes?

I tried a few and really didn’t see a difference. Of course they say it takes months and months. Doc gave me aldactone, which I was a little hesitant to take since it’s a med, not a supplement, but it seems to be helping. I feel like it makes me smell medicinal, and it leaves a weird taste, but for now I’m willing to deal if I can keep my hair and look better!

I keep forgetting to ask about this but I noticed ever since my hysterectomy years ago I have arthritis (I think) in my fingers. Basically I can’t open things that I easily could before like jars, caps, and even ziploc bags. Has anyone else experienced this? Basically your hands and fingers feeling weaker, numb, painful or just not working? Any way to combat this? TIA 🐟

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!!

Hi ladies, I'm in my mid 40s and I think I'm entering peri. I currently have a Mirena but I should replace it again soon, but one more will put me into my 50s(!!) and I was wondering if anyone here knows that they're in peri or menopause without having periods. Is there blood work or something to check? I definitely do not want to have another child accidentally. I've got 5 more years until my youngest is in college and don't want to start over again.

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?!?

I figure if anyone can understand this, it’s you all. I feel like I’m losing my damn mind. I have always loved communications, and I’m really good at it. But lately I’m so tired of politics and toxicity that I it’s sent me into a depression tailspin, on top of a pretty severe mid-life crisis. Two and a half weeks ago, I quit my job with nothing lined up. Not the smartest thing I’ve ever done, but I kind of feel like self-preservation was at work here. I want to do work that makes a difference. ☹️

I’m curious how long people were in the peri menopause phase? I’ve read it’s an average of 4 years but I’m curious what people’s experiences are. I believe I am late stage peri menopausal and my periods have been very irregular for the past 9 months ranging 13-60 days between periods. If anyone has any studies you could point me to, I’d love to see those as well! I’m 40 and my mom entered menopause at 41.
