Hi all, I’ve just started hrt - I’m on progesterone and oestrogen gel for days 1-14 and then just oestrogen for the remainder of my cycle. I literally cannot remember anything. I’m studying and forget what I’m writing as I’m writing it. Is this normal? Will it get better?

I felt like I was in a constant fog. I could not remember anything, but HRT helped me. I felt better and slept better! Good luck!

I would like to tell you that you are not alone. I woke up one day and it looked like I was 6 months pregnant. My other symptoms such as night sweats, brain fog, insomnia, irritability, etc. started a few years ago, but it was the almost-overnight weight gain that made me go on HRT. I started about a month ago and my night sweats and sleeping are a bit better, but the rest of my symptoms are the same. On my doctor's recommendation, I am increasing my estrogen and hope that helps. I hope your symptoms get better. We are in this together!

Hmmm. I started HRT with a patch and oral progesterone. No side effects. I’d check in for your provider.

I have a looming sense of self hatred. I take medication I workout and do all the things to feel good, but it’s just stuck there. Constantly thinking I’m trash, in a bad person, etc. Feeling guilty for things idek if I should feel guilty about. This is a privileged problem and I know it’s minuscule to compared to the actual struggles of so many people in the US and abroad. Just wondering if anyone has felt this as well and if so, how do you get rid of that self hatred?

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 am 52 I have been feeling so tired and when I was in my 40’s. I had a lot more energy. Now I am so tired after work - but I have 4 girls ages, 16-15-13-9. I am going through menopause and my Osteoarthritis hurts somedays and that doesn’t work. Any advice how to keep up with my four girls while feeling crummy?!?

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.
