Hello gang! Sorry I missed a video. As I mentioned on my instagram I am peri-menopausal and have started HRT. So I've had a lot going on at home. But I am SO HOPEFUL for the future. Highly recommend Davina McCalls book Menopausing if you want some help. Would love any positive stories from women who have gone through similar. I'll report back in a few months once everything is settled. Finishing a huge pack with me video today...BRING ON THE NEW YORK VLOGS! Love you lots xxx
I’m 44 and started HRT IN November. I can honestly say I feel more me than I have for a long time. It’s made me realise how long I had been struggling for. X
Hi how did u get diagnosed? I think I have this I’ve seen my doctor today and he said he can’t prescribe anything and I’ve had to go for the blood tests is that correct will that give a diagnosis?x
@@emmarankin716 it’s so wrong! They shouldn’t diagnose on a blood test as our hormones flutists all of the time! I had a chat about how I was feeling and the symptoms and I was given the medication with a. Follow up blood test but that wasn’t for diagnosis. I have since had a follow up and medication altered slightly. Blood tests weren’t even mentioned. Get another opinion. We shouldn’t be begging for HRT it is our right. Good luck lovely x
I love that we can talk about peri and menopause. The brain fog is a real pain in the arse for me. I haven’t started HRT yet but I have found that understanding what’s happening to me and being able to talk about it has really helped. I don’t feel confused and alone anymore. Love to all going through this.
I had never seen those hanging wardrobe dehumidifiers before and then my husband came home with one last night and today I watch this woth them in. Hope you are having a fab time in New York. X
How refreshing that you opened up about it. Women certainly don't talk about it enough, so we're left feeling alone. A fellow Brit for you, Caroline Mrs M, has spoken about taking HRT lately. She updated on it on her most recent video. Think positive and good for you for going to the Dr. A vacation certainly should help your blah feeling. Also, spring is coming. That always cheers me up. And I, too, hate slippery stairs. The whole time my son lived in a big old house with slippery stairs, I tried to get him to install a handrail. I was unsuccessful, but he moved. ❤️🇨🇦 Hope it's not too cold in New York for you and you get into all the shops you want to. 😉
For your windows we use a karcher water vacuum, I go round every morning and just suck all the water off the windows and I don't get the black grub anymore x
New subscriber ! X LOVE ❤️ New York. Went last in December with my daughter we weren’t on a strict budget but tried to be careful first couple of days x juniors diner is a good mid range diner and one day we just had pizza slices for lunch huuuuge and just over a dollar very nice on a cold day ! Xx have fun looking forward to blogs xx
Sending good vibes for you to feel better. I have thyroid trouble and so I do get insomnia and brain fog a bit too. Laughed out loud you got Steven a womens golf glove lol sorry. You are amazing and I am glad you found the squishmellos as i was worried. Yay for New York vlogs.
Make up on planes... I only wear some subtle eye make up, moisturiser and sun cream for flying. I don't know what happens up there but sometimes the skin goes quite dry and weird 🤣 If I can, I reapply some moisturiser while on the plane. And lip balm, loads of it.
Aww mate! Same ❤ started the HRT stuff 3 months ago. Still working it all out! Good luck lovely hope you start feeling more yourself soon xx thanks for sharing xx watch them hanging things one dripped on my son’s pe shorts and I didn’t realise and I had to go and collect him from school as he basically had chemical rash off the chloride😮 eek
Hi Emma please could u do a video on cleaning filters at the back of your fridge and other deep cleaning awkward areas? I've been binge watching your old videos lately. Its relaxing listening to you while I do my crochet.
Great start to the weekend watching your vlog with a cuppa😊 I wonder if I should get checked out, I’m 44 and the brain fog has never shifted since I had my son who is now 5. My mood is suffering and last year I developed a random allergy causing a hideous rash that won’t clear, also I didn’t know that anxiety when driving could be a symptom which I experience. I just don’t feel myself and put it down to balancing being a single mum working full time but I think there is more to it. Thank you for talking about your struggles and how you approach it🥰 xx
I didn't really experience massive menopause symptoms, but I had major brain fog and felt really blah, which turned out to be an underactive thyroid, so definitely worth checking out ❤️
37 this year and I have all those things literally haha. Become so clumsy lately. I fell over at centerparcs. Tripped over a scooter. Keep knocking into stuff. Anxious driving new places. I forget people's names! Think It's too early for me but what joy to come in the future! X
Also we flew to Orlando last year with 10 and 8 year olds. Both had ipads but actually just watched the films on the screens and ate snacks. It was fine! X
For New York: Los Tacos no1 (Chelsea Market or around Times Square area- e we walked the Highline and got off to go to Chelsea Market - amazing). Time Rockefeller for sunset if you can! Cheap ferry over to Brooklyn, costs next to nothing but you can see the views including Lady Liberty 🗽). Eat at Time Out in Brooklyn, do the carousel. (Chicken burgers are gorgeous!!!!!! At the top of time out building.)
Oh Emma I feel your pain - brain fog, insomnia, sheer exhaustion & horrible anxiety but HRT works!!! It may take a while for you to get the right dose & the right kind of HRT for you but persevere & you'll feel so much more yourself. Also I watch your videos for you - you always make me laugh - so it really doesn't much matter what the content is - not sure if that's reassuring for you or not 😂
Hi how did u get diagnosed? I think I have this I’ve seen my doctor today and he said he can’t prescribe anything and I’ve had to go for the blood tests is that correct will that give a diagnosis?x
@@emmarankin716 I don't think it's really a diagnosis but bloods should give them a hormonal profile. My oestrogen levels were so low that apparently it was obvious. See what comes back from the blood tests but you may have to be persistent - it seems that some GPs are better than others!
My colleague went on HRT….completely changed her life for the better! Wishing you all the best with it. Really nice cosy homely vlog, just what I needed as we’ve literally just moved house! Thanks Emma xx
Make up on the plane - under eye concealer and mascara. They are my non negotiables - and all I manage to get on my face in early motherhood (baby boy is 3 months today). I'm also still wearing my maternity leggings 🤣 😂
Hi Emma I started perimenopause at 42 ,i'm 52 this year and still going through it , HRT has been a real help .x Home Bargains do the dehumidifier tubs that you can empty and reuse ,you can but the crystal to refil them from amazon but you get two packs of crystals with the tub
Definitely needs to be talked about more I’m 31 so not quite there yet but the more people talk about it the easier to notice symptoms and stuff when I get there so thank you ❤❤❤
Morning bab Saturday mornings with you are fab. Menopause sucks can't take HRT as family cancer risks. A hard one may take collagen as that is supposed to help.Looking forward to New York ❤️
The clear liquids pouches are great! Nothing irritates me more than people who don’t have their liquids out and ready at security 🤦🏼♀️🤣 very excited for the upcoming packing video and the NY content xx
Aw love, feel the same. I think you’re doing brilliantly with everything going on. It’s A LOT. Lots of love to you. Have a fantastic time away. 😘 from a fellow peri gal.
Oh Emma.... it is so lovely that you are talking about it. I am not even sure when I started. I am 58 now and I totally get the brain fog. I can't string a sentence together sometimes. lol Hot most of the time and up most of the night. Not on HRT. Dr never really said anything about Meno to me. I find it much harder to lose weight too but that is when she said... "Well you are in Meno so that is why." Don't worry.... we all understand and are right there with you.
I’m pushing 40 and possibly peri 😭. My husband is the same age and I swear he’s going through the ‘manopause’, he’s such a grouchy old man at the minute! The dehumidifiers are great, we used them but they really bothered my chest. Just check they don’t bother yours too! We got an ebac dehumidifier and it’s been brilliant, use it to dry clothes too, cheaper than my tumble dryer! Much love bab xx
Hi, found out at 43 I was menopausal- bit of a shock tbh but made sense as lot symptoms since age 39yr I'd ignored. Not enough is spoken about this. Hrt helps but doesn't stop me feeling old b4 my time. Hope ur OK. X
It took me 20 mins yesterday at work to remember the word for 'flip chart' it was frightening when I didn't know why I was like that but half the battle is knowing why all these things are happening to you xx
I'm officially peri-menopausal (I'm 43 tomorrow) but my GP wants to hold off with HRT for now. She did advise me to use the Balance app and to take red clover complex. My worst symptoms so far have been hot flushes and weak bladder and I can honestly say the clover has helped A LOT! Insomnia is not unusual for me I've been a poor sleeper since birth lol. Brain fog is brutal though, makes you feel like you are not you. The joys of womanhood eh? But, we are warriors who will overcome :) x
I felt lost then started HRT and its made such a huge difference. Just wanted to add that once on HRT if you eventually start to feel lost again go back to the GP. Over the years my doseage has changed as my hormones have changed. Its like a HRT MOT type situation xxx
I love a home vlog. I'm like a nosy neighbour and just like dipping into people's lives 🤪 I also like that you are brave enough to address some really important female issues ❤️ I hope you quickly find the right dose/fix of HRT and that it does all the good stuff for you xx Have a great break with your famalam, and do not feel like you need to apologise to us followers for not doing enough 💜
Sorry to hear you're struggling. My brain has been "foggy" since I had my 1st baby, so I feel your pain! 😅 I hope that HRT helps you get back to normal asap. 😊 *Love & Positive vibes* Xx
Emma I had HRT it was the best thing for me and when I came off it I had gone completely through the menopause I'm sure it's going to make a difference for you 🤗. Can you tell me how the bras where I'm a 40E can't wear wired bras due to hitus hernia I usually wear M&S but they are expensive I hope you are feeling more like You soon take care 🤗💞🙏
Hi how did u get diagnosed? I think I have this I’ve seen my doctor today and he said he can’t prescribe anything and I’ve had to go for the blood tests is that correct will that give a diagnosis?x
I feel your pain! I've been on hrt for 6 months it's totally helped me x no hot flushes, less anxiety, still have anxiety when driving or even just in a car, but it's doesn't cure everything but certainly helps oh and I sleep like a log now! Hope it works for you too x we all need to talk about i more, now we all need to shout at the government to make hrt free !!! It's bloody expensive being a woman ! X ie sanitary wear and hrt ! X
Hrt is great! Im sure your doctor has told you about this-- with long trips to get up and walk every hour or so as hrt can increase your risk for blood clots
I didn’t wear makeup on the plane when I went to NY but I took some moisturiser and a few bits (concealer/mascara/blusher) to put on just before we landed so I didn’t look like the walking dead 😂
Hi Emma hope you and your family are well and having a good morning! Oh no the wrong size gloves🤦♀️atleast it's not socks again don't worry that should be the last of getting the wrong sized things🤣as there's that saying everything comes in threes🤣 Have a good day:)
Hello! Another Perimenopausal 40 something year old!! I don’t want to go down the HRT route so managing with vitamins at the moment ….it’s a real eye opener isn’t it!!! 💕
Emma I don't know if you know but primark up town (brum) you cant take back underwear including bras... I tried one to take a bra back as the hanger had the wrong size than the bra they refused... policy 🙄
100% do not wear make up lol, comfort on all levels, you will get a fab pic anyway as it wil be of you and your family. Have a wonderful trip....as for everything else you do you xx
I don’t wear makeup on the plane but on arrival I just put on a bit of lippy and a bit of mascara and eye shadow in the ladies once I’m through customs etc and I love New York have fun and make sure you wear a hat and coat it’s Windy City also grand central station has a great food hall and you have to go to a store called strawberry it’s a clothing store and massive inside Erin will love the clothes in there as well as you will get lost in there for a few hours lol also go to breakfast at the deli under the railway bridge carnt remember it’s name but it’s been there for years hopefully it survived covid and didn’t close the buttermilk pancakes are to die for as is the eggs benedict xxx
I'm sat here watching this in maternity jeans, never been pregnant, never planning on being pregnant but they're so comfy! 😂 I'm also a wheelchair user so the high waist belly band bit mean I don't show my bum to the world if I lean forwards and I can't do zips or buttons so they remove all of my jeans issues
I've never been able to wear of underwire bra's for very long. I've even been measured properly and i think it's because i have a small rib cage and the wires would be under my arms. lol. xx
Morning Emma my partner is the same . His name is Steven also and he likes playing golf. I just bought him some food and chocolate he likes and put some money in his card . He isn’t romantic either. I must be because they are called Steven 😂😂. I am a Shop Assistant in Waitrose and always have a chat to my customers I serve. It’s good to talk and not hold things in . Yes your right NY wind speed . I love Biscoffs . That is nice of you to buy snacks for the plain . I never think to do that . Primark stock Menopause Clothes now as well. I enjoy your home vlogs Emma. On You Tube there are a lot of vlogs about Pre-Menopause . Put it in the search and they will come up. I hope the HRT will work for you and make you feel better. Have a mindful week and see you in your next Vlog.
Love, respect, and well wishes to everyone going through peri/menopause ❤️ please, please shout about it. Partly because it's been stupidly taboo for too long, partly because I hope shouting and whinging now creates better help and change for the future.
Please keep taking evening primrose oil. I take 1 at night when I was diagnosed by the doctor. I have no problems with it. I absolutely love you to bits and you are so open and honest. Hopefully very quickly you will be in a better place for yourself. Keep up the good work that you do and keep speaking out you inspire a lot of people and people do listen to you. Xxx🥰😍❤️
Well … I am 40 and have just not been feeling myself lately. Ive been wondering if the peri-menopause is creeping my way. The brain fog is real people !!!!. What very rollercoaster lives us women lead . All the symptoms of wonderful periods…. Now this !

You get the tail winds going east and the rout the plane takes goes up higher closer to the pole and this shortens the flight time as well 🤔🥰🇨🇦
Amazing!

Congrats!
Definitely you should discuss perimenopause on your podcast so many women need to hear it 💖

Hello! Over 45 you don’t need a blood test. Under 45 you can take one but it’s not always accurate x
do you think its possible to start menopause at aged 62?
I feel your pain! I've been on hrt for 6 months it's totally helped me x no hot flushes, less anxiety, still have anxiety when driving or even just in a car, but it's doesn't cure everything but certainly helps oh and I sleep like a log now!

I don’t wear makeup on the plane but on arrival I just put on a bit of lippy and a bit of mascara and eye shadow in the ladies once I’m through customs etc and I love New York have fun and make sure you wear a hat and coat it’s Windy City also grand central station has a great food hall and you have to go to a store called strawberry it’s a clothing store and massive inside Erin will love the clothes in there as well as you will get lost in there for a few hours lol also go to breakfast at the deli under the railway bridge carnt remember it’s name but it’s been there for years hopefully it survived covid and didn’t close the buttermilk pancakes are to die for as is the eggs benedict xxx
I'm sat here watching this in maternity jeans, never been pregnant, never planning on being pregnant but they're so comfy! 😂 I'm also a wheelchair user so the high waist belly band bit mean I don't show my bum to the world if I lean forwards and I can't do zips or buttons so they remove all of my jeans issues
They are the best!!
I've never been able to wear of underwire bra's for very long. I've even been measured properly and i think it's because i have a small rib cage and the wires would be under my arms. lol. xx
Morning Emma my partner is the same . His name is Steven also and he likes playing golf.
I just bought him some food and chocolate he likes and put some money in his card . He isn’t romantic either. I must be because they are called Steven 😂😂.
I am a Shop Assistant in Waitrose and always have a chat to my customers I serve. It’s good to talk and not hold things in . Yes your right NY wind speed . I love Biscoffs . That is nice of you to buy snacks for the plain . I never think to do that .
Primark stock Menopause Clothes now as well. I enjoy your home vlogs Emma.
On You Tube there are a lot of vlogs about Pre-Menopause . Put it in the search and they will come up. I hope the HRT will work for you and make you feel better. Have a mindful week and see you in your next Vlog.

I've just discovered how boring adulting is. I got excited about putting new fence panels in 😂
That sounds so exciting!!!
I’ve always used a clear make up bag for liquids at the airport and never been asked to put it in the official bag instead! 😊
Fab!
Same here. I’ve never been asked either in the UK or US
You are definitely not alone lovely lady Menopause is #$%@&%# 💯😁🇦🇺🙋♀️
Yep!
Love, respect, and well wishes to everyone going through peri/menopause ❤️ please, please shout about it. Partly because it's been stupidly taboo for too long, partly because I hope shouting and whinging now creates better help and change for the future.
Please keep taking evening primrose oil. I take 1 at night when I was diagnosed by the doctor. I have no problems with it. I absolutely love you to bits and you are so open and honest. Hopefully very quickly you will be in a better place for yourself. Keep up the good work that you do and keep speaking out you inspire a lot of people and people do listen to you. Xxx🥰😍❤️
Thanks for the tip!
Well … I am 40 and have just not been feeling myself lately. Ive been wondering if the peri-menopause is creeping my way. The brain fog is real people !!!!. What very rollercoaster lives us women lead . All the symptoms of wonderful periods…. Now this !
Much love x
