So I’m sick of prescriptions. From 17 to 37 I was on birth control pills. From 37 to 41 HRT due to my hysterectomy. I decided to say enough as I ran out of my Rx. I’m going to try this and see what happens!

I feel so odd asking. Did anyone decide to not vaccinate a healthy two year old? I am struggling giving it to him for some reason. And I believe in vaccines…

I am one of 2 Sr. MA within my department. We were instructed to conduct JCHO Readiness Inspections at all locations. Now both me and this other Sr. MA are black women. The MA that we decided to speak with first was a white woman. While we were going over some things that she needed to brush up on, this Medical Assistant said "I feel like I'm being attacked." I closed my laptop and walked out the office. Now I am being targeted as if I've done something wrong. What do I do?

Currently a medical assistant and considering the PA route. Living in Canada where the PA profession is relatively new (not as many specialities for PAs as the US, and salary is lower). I’m nervous about future burn out and unfavourable working hours - any advice?

Hi All, I just had a egg retrieval this morning. All went smooth. But last retrieval round I got very sick day 3-4 days after (constipation, fluid in belly, extreme abdomen discomfort,etc.) I’ve bought some milk of magnesia to help but wanted to check in with you all for tips. Any food recommendations? I hear varying opinions of what’s bests so I’d love to hear what worked directly for you.

Imagine going up to someone at a bar and asking if they wanna go out with you. and then when they say "sure," you say, "great. tell me why I should take you out and maybe we'll go get drinks. look forward to considering it!"

That's recruiters. So effing sick of it.

Is there generally a penalty if you give your resignation while you’re out on short term disability or FMLA? My employee handbook doesn’t say anything and HR won’t give me any info. I don’t want to get an unexpected letter telling me I owe back healthcare or salary costs because I quit before my leave claim was officially over.

Hey bowl - I’m always annoyed with my sheets; mostly the fitted always coming loose making the bed a wrinkled mess. What are your recommendations for the best sheets for a king sized bed? 2 important criteria - must have a good fitted sheet and not be too hot.

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!

Just venting - In my 50 and tired of monthly periods with no end in sight. According to blood/hormone tests I’m pre/peri menopause. I hate the drier skin, hormone changes, thinning hair and weight gain (no matter how I adjust my diet and exercise the scale will not budge). Fortunately the one symptom I don’t have is hot flashes. Sigh. Does this get better at any point?

My belly keeps getting flabbier during menopause. Mainly uncomfortable bloating. Has anyone found any foods or supplements that have helped??

I finally broke down and went back on HRT last week. I have been taking gabapentin for a nerve injury which I’ve learned helps hot flashes. I can’t tell a significant difference yet aside from maybe getting a little better sleep. I saw a new doctor (male) to get my prescription refilled and he seems to have a different philosophy than my last doctor (female). He wants me to be on HRT until 51, but after that he doesn’t recommend it. I hope by that age I’ll be off the gabapentin…

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!!

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.

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.

Premenopausal and I am a complete mess, cry randomly, it’s so embarrassing. I cried at the drs , I cry watching tv, I cry driving home . I can’t handle my emotions . And I literally have nothing to cry about I’m beyond blessed . On the other hand I have turned into a hermit and hate leaving me house 😂😂😂😂 I use to jig 3 miles a day 4 days a week and that would kee weight off now with the same jog im gaining weight . . I just want to know im not the only person …

I had to get a hysterectomy at age 39 due to endometriosis (stage 4). I’m 42 now & greatly suffering from menopause. One doctor said that going on hormone therapy greatly increases my risk for endometriosis to return and become cancerous however another doctor told me this isn’t an exact science. I’m getting conflicting answers to whether or not I should do hormone therapy and it seems like I can’t get a straight answer to this question. Does anyone know anything about this?

Anyone have thoughts on the at home hormone tests you can buy online? I have a high deductible and a lot of those tests are cheaper than my out of pocket cost through insurance.

Question about health insurance. Since some of us are at the age of more preventives, such as colonoscopies and mammograms, are PPO plans the best option? Does anyone have an HSA? Do you recommend it? Yes or no? Thanks!!

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.
