For any ladies going through the menopause.. I highly recommend the Marina Coil!! I don't feel menopausal at all. No brain fog, night sweats, hot flushes are very rare.. and still very much wanting sex (just don't get it lol) It's been a life changer |

I had Ablation surgery about 18 months ago, and it's the best decision I've ever made.
My bleeds have stopped, the only trace of Menopausal symptoms is the occasional hot flush in the afternoon, but that's it.
Maybe I just got lucky on this one. |

"One for the ladies of certain age since starting menopause have you found suddenly your ears get very hot and also finding I'm not able to gush as much as I was before "
I find sometimes my ears get really hot too, sometimes just one ear!! No issues with anything else though!! |

The Mirena coil will supply progesterone to your body but you will still need estrogen as well as small amounts of testosterone (this helps especially to boost libido and mitigates brain fog). Women who have undergone hysterectomies or who no longer have periods (post-menopausal) generally do not need progesterone (it works to avoid an over-thickening or build up of the uterine lining which can occur through estrogen). |

"I've been in Perimenopause since my early 30s and vaginal dryness has been one of my worst symptoms. I can't fuck at all without lube and I'm not 40 yet  "
You need localised oestrogen. Creams are messy but you can use a small amount externally too. Are you on hrt? |

"Yeah a bit mostly they itch though which is horrible. I'm dreading actual menopause I'm on the peri stage at the moment
Have you looked at hrt? "
I asked my doctor they won't give it to me as I don't have hot flushes.
Sin e them my symptoms have worsened brain fog is worse a few more mood swings and low libido, still getting periods not every month though.
It doesn't help that my doctors don't have a .menopause specialist but he did say he can put me in contact with one if I need it |

The itchy ears are the worst. And not a well known symptom. "
It's horrible the only thing that works is anti histamines for me anyway |

I had breast cancer a few years ago so I can't have hrt at all, my gp told me to try Replens cream that you buy in the chemist, it has really worked well for me. |

I use a oil daily from Naydaya, helps more than any other things that I've tried. |

This makes me so mad! You don't need hot flushes to get hrt. Download the Balance app, do a symptoms checker report and see a different GP. Nice guidelines are also useful too, have a Google. |

I'm peri menopausal, I find itchy skin and aching joints are the worse for me.
I also struggle even more with sleeping. I'm taking a natural supplement called peri menofriend by Dr vegan.
It definitely helps with the aches and pains and my skin isn't as dry, as they have soy isoflavones in, which mimic oestrogen. |

The itching was the worst for me also, my arms especially. The marina coil stopped all that. I take magnesium glycinate that helps tremendously with sleeping. |

Me too they only suggested anti depressants which I don't want have been on them before and felt like an emotionless zombie.
I took your advice though so thank you😊 |

Oh it was my arms too! They've calmed down on these supplements and I think my sleeping is just down to tears of shifts.
Thanks for the information though 😊 and glad you've got some relief. |

I "think" I'm peri, I'm not entirely sure if the things happening is just me getting old or this.
I've had trouble sleeping for years but just lately if been having terrible nightmares (I used to get night terrors quite a bit as an adult), rash across my boobs (but not sure if it's heat related) and some others.
I have the coil so hard to track x |

Go to.your GP and explain your symptoms. There is a lot that can be done to help with the symptoms but they don't always prescribe them as they are costly.
Be persistent with your GP and if nothing changes go and see another. Davina mccoll has done a lot on tv highlighting the plight so have a look online. There is private Dr online called Dr Zoe. Meg Matthews has tweeted about her and uses her a lot for advice.
Please feel free to.message me directly if you want to talk or some advice. I'm not a Dr (in medicine) but does its do have a fair bit of knowledge on this subject. |

I’m probably at the perimenopause stage. Is the coil hormone based because I can’t have anything that contains hormones which could be a nightmare |

That coil does contain hormones the copper one doesn't but that one wouldn't help you I'm sorry to say.
A lady on here told me to download the balance app which I did and there are many herbal things you can take to help with symptoms you should take a look it might help you out x |

"Get yourself some vaginal oestrogen from your doctor it will solve the dryness issue.
I can vouch for this & have only been on it a matter of days & the difference already it’s made. it’s nice to feel normal again 👌🏻
I'm perimenopausal but the worst symptoms for me are the anxiety and heart palpitations. "

I wouldn't wish a bad menopause on any one, my dryness has been so bad the pain it caused lead me to having to give up work. I couldn't do house work or shopping or anything really. I have just gone on to new estrogen tablets and need to start off once a day for a month ... Fingers crossed once they kick in I can get back to having regular sex ... If your in any doubt at all please keep badgering your GP id hate for anyone else to have to go through this. |

I'm so glad I came across this thread!
The burning ear thing? I thought I was going crazy. Its been so bad I've woken up with them. I bought a cool pad for my pillow which does help a bit.
The brain fog is horrendous. I still get a period for a couple of days, but they are so heavy. Like when they first started!
I was watching a Dr on TV who described menopause like a 2nd puberty.
Thank you all for sharing ✨️ |

It is so frustrating reading some of your posts ladies… it is always possible to have her - even after cancer - if it is managed properly. It is about mitigating risks and doing what is best big picture….
For me I suffered for 10 years without realising there was help and I hate seeing other so the same…
But the crux of it for me is that oestrogen helps to mitigate the risks of heart disease (no 1 killer of women) and osteoporosis (just plain horrible)…
Managing menopause symptoms is a juggling act and managing your doctor can be even worse, but do your research and stand your ground…!
Dr Louise Newman has an amazing podcast, I listened for hrs doing research, she is the worlds leading expert in all things menopausal and if all else fails runs a private clinic who will make recommendations to your go.
But I have found that the biggest hurdle for most women is denial - admitting you have got to ‘that age’ and overcoming the stigma of even the word menopause - after that embracing something that can help with all the horrible symptoms it can cause is the easy part 😂
As many people say, if it affected men there would be automatic treatment given to everyone - look at what has happened with viagra ffs…! Yes we are supposed to suck it up as part of getting older?!
Well no thank you…!! |

Never had any symptoms maybe coil helped.
Hot ears, only when someone speaks ill of me.
I do tend to get a soggy bottom when baking.
Never gushed but I do have excellent bladder control and function.
Miostness just takes a little longer to achieve, small amount of lube or a more experienced partner, keep away from people who think foreplay is rubbing my lady bits like they are trying to light a fire.  |

Do anyone still get the munchies like when I was due a period I would crave for chocolate & other sweet things because that’s what I’m finding so was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? |

This sounds like a step in the right direction.
Womb removal is an extreme procedure, that needs its name changing.

An ablation would have no factor on menopuse. I've had one. I've had bloods done to check what stage I'm at for menopause. Results came back, as I'm no where near starting. So up next for the hystorectomy. Keeping my overies, so I don't go straight to menapouse. |

I didn't stop having periods until I was 56, I have found dryness to be a big problem in the last couple of years. I have found Dr Wolf's V san cream to be very helpful. |
