I just increased mine before doctors appointment… I honestly felt like I was going to have a nervous breakdown and couldn’t wait… I noticed a change overnight… I haven’t cried or felt like dying for the past two days and sleeping better, still not great sleep but better sleep and I can function. I upped progesterone to 200mg (I have always been low and I started at 100mg) and I was doing 2 pumps of estrogen gel and upped it to 3…. I definitely feel better than I did and just hope my doctor will rewrite scripts or I’ll be finding a new quickly… it’s the lack of sleep and mental stuff for me, I honestly felt like I didn’t want to live anymore and not kidding, overnight with increase I feel more functioning & not as heavy hearted as I did.

How do you know how much you are taking? My doctor prescribed it but just told me to use a pea size amount everyday. Mine says Testosterone Gel 1% and under that: 50mg testosterone per 5 gram tube and I probably use one tube for 5ish days?

I had no idea this was another peri menopause issue … I was at the doctor about 7 years ago for itching on my legs that would keep me up at night, absolutely maddening, no one told me this could be hormone related. I get sad and angry every time I discover a new symptom I’ve had along the way with no explanation, just a med thrown at me, had I known it was hormone related and hormones were safe if taken correctly I think my quality of life would have been much better and I wouldn’t be in this predicament now..

I am using an estradiol cream 3 times a week but I am leaking at times, just a little but enough that I have to wear a pantiliner, I didn’t even have vaginal births and have never had this before. Why is this happening? Is this preventable and do I need an increase or something different?

I feel like I’m on the verge of a nervous breakdown and I know it’s because of my ADHD and peri menopause; not to sound dramatic but I honestly have been feeling like I might not make it out of this and will be another statistic, I don’t know how much more of this I can take. I was once hospitalized after a miscarriage for this same feeling; of course I was sad about the miscarriage but this and that is a different kind of feeling, it’s not a sad because of loss feeling; I feel empty inside, can’t sleep (for over 10 years), I can’t function, feel hollow inside, brain fog that is almost inexplainable, joint pain, you name it. I now know this is hormones but doesn’t stop me from wishing to not wake up; I have been dealing with these hormone issues my whole life and add the ADHD to it and I honestly feel like, game over, I’m done, someone please take me out.

I’ve downloaded three apps for this and still can’t figure it out, lol! I downloaded GitHub, Mlem & Test Flight but still only able to get here using the link they sent to verify my email; I’m okay with getting here this way but I suspect will deter a lot of people.

I downloaded test flight and Mlemy but asking for code and I can’t get through on Mlemy, I have been using the link from the email verification to get here and just coming through that way on my phone.. it works but hoping to figure out the app piece..
