Went out trying to do woodland surveys today, well out of my depth, learnt a lot, cant believe I will be going back to do a few more over coming weeks! Was supposed to go today but called it off yesterday looking at forecast! Thought wind would be worse than it has been but its been bucketing it down here!
I am struggling to arrange to meet other volunteer, we have not got days off at same time!

Ladies as I see subject has included menopause, anyone with any perimenopause advice it would be greatly appreciated!
What food or supplements you would suggest?
No typical symptoms yet (so delaying trying HRT) but mental health, sleep pattern etc is shockingly bad and age means perimenopause could be factor.
Trying doTERRA Women Phytoestrogen Essential Complex at moment. Running it for a couple more months to see if it is really helping my period pain etc or just variation in cycles but its not doing anything for the mental health side so starting to doubt estrogen fluctuations is main issue.
Has anyone tried Ashwagandha?

As I said easrlier , using HRT is only delaying the enevitable sadly , I dont know if you can stay on HRT indefinately ? anyone here know ? If you cant then eventually you will have to face the symtoms sadly
Good luck you young ladies

I’m on HRT mainly due to my really bad anxiety , I have been on it for around 18 months but my periods are hit and miss .
The main thing I am struggling with is anxiety and sleep issues.
I’m reducing my HRT at the moment due to having hallucinations during the night - HRT might be the problem so when I start taking the progesterone again and if the hallucinations return I will consider coming off HRT all together , I have just got to see .
I have never ever experienced anxiety this bad before, but at the moment the HRT is helping with that.

Apart from the hot flushes, (which I still sometimes get 10+ years) then I sailed through it, but my sister was on HRT and she suffered when she had to come off it. She was told by the doctor that you can only be on it for so long. She also had to have vit D or B injections (I can't remember which) as she was low on it, and that was causing a lot of the symptoms, i.e. itching during the night.
I believe Evening Primrose is good to try too.

l used E.P to start with , l’ll be honest l never thought about perimenopause , or whatever its called. Wine definitely still makes me hot , only a flush , but l was very lucky , sorry spider ( our only male on here 🫢) if you are reading this. Guessing a bit of education wont hurt you thou 🤣🤣 l sailed thru , it all Stopped dead July 4th and l was just turned 50, nothing after that , tap was turned off !! 🤐🤭🤣 l was flying home from USA
Having not had 🤰👩🍼might have helped . .🤷♀️ who knows , the science , not me .
Good luck again x

Had to smile this morning. I park my car on my mother in law's driveway (sort of shared) and the next door neighbour usually parks in front of me, so I have to knock their door to get him to move. When I knocked the door his little girl (5) answered the door and when I asked where's daddy, she said "he's up the garden having a fag". Not what I expected her to say, she's so sweet.
