  • “For three years I had been suffering in silence. Unhappy, not a good mother. What is the difference, if you are lacking in a hormone, what is the difference in replacing it?”
    @ThisisDavina tells @mariellaf1 how she came to realise she was perimenopausal, and her struggle with coming to terms with it.

    HRT helps but it doesn’t make everything ok, emotional symptoms are still apparent and things are still a struggle. I am grateful for you being one of the first people woman listen to when they are discovering what is going on for them. Really important.

    I was on the combined pill through my 40,s because of my heavy periods, I only went on HRT at 53 patches a d mireena coil, still got sleep anxiety , I'm on the highest 100mg patch, I still having problems with the mireena coil as I'm spotting and having periods every month, I'm going for a scan this month and if everything ok?
    The dr going to put me on utergestron at night to help me sleep and to balance my bleeding.

    Very brave and important discussion. people need to be more comfortable broaching these kinds of subjects.

      I agree. They are both lovely women, and it needs to be discussed more openly.

    I had a horrible time on the combined pill. It made me unbelievably hungry. I came off it a few years ago ( I took it from 16-33, I'm 41 now ). So, here's the question. When I start menopause and have hrt , is it like the combined pill and would it again make me so hungry? ( I put 4 stone on with the pill and lost 4 stone when I stopped it. )

    I always had a deep seated belief that men only like fertile women...you ladies look so beautiful....

    HRT = Hormone Replacement Therapy? Could have been explained.
    I'm male and might do that someday, but with growth hormone, not estrogen 🙂

    I didn't listen but someone point me to the points in the video where they blame men for menopause and addiction?

    Surely this report is in poor taste so soon after the body of Nicola Bulley was found. Press already guilty of shabby journalism concerning her struggles.

      What's menopause & addiction got to do with not passing your basic swimming proficiency test when you were young?

      That’s in your mind , Davina has been talking about this long before the Nicola Bully tragedy.

    I remember my wife giving me into trouble, not long after we were married, for saying that the menopause was that time in a womans life when she turns into a man. It was a joke, correction, I thought it was a joke. People can be so touchy, chill.

    Happy Wednesday everyone! God bless you all!!! Make sure you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour everyone! He is coming soon! Don't be left behind! Accept and believe in Jesus Christ! John 3:16, Revelation 20:15, 1 Corrinthians 15 1-4

      ...And a Happy Thursday to you. ☺️He's been "coming soon" since he left, those verses are not convincing, they are selectively interpreted by people (just people) with an agenda. You can be a good person without them. Have a wonderful day.
