This was so hard to watch...I'm almost in tears because a sudden, premature menopause has taken away my dreams of becoming a mother, its also made me very ill but my GP is very dismissive of it, thanks so much for highlighting this important issue, you look great by the way I really admire you for wearing whatever you want.
Amy, it would be wonderful if you could have a one-on-one consultation with me. I will tailor everything to your personal situation and make absolutely sure you get the education you deserve. If you can, schedule one at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
Thank you for your video. I went through sudden menopause at 38 due to chemotherapy. I just started taking HRT 8 years later through combipatch. Over the past 8 years none of my doctors said anything about HRT, even after I had a fracture. I think they have been afraid due to my cancer hx (both non-breast & non-gynecological). I had to advocate for myself after seeing your videos. Thanks so much!
You are so very welcome, my dear. You definitely need to understand your premature menopause and how it will impact the entire rest of your life. Please consider scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME if you want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU. I do them via video conferencing, so it doesn't matter where you live.
I started peri menopause aged32! & menopause 34, changed my lifestyle completely, I now eat an extremely healthy diet, stopped smoking drinking & lost 5 & 1/2 stone which took some doing as my thyroid stopped working, I never took any medication etc, I don’t suffer hot flashes mood changes etc only thing I do is have calcium & vitamin D, as I have a dairy allergy, ( I do have bone density scans) I feel really well which I put down to years of a much better lifestyle xx
Lifestyle is very important. I applaud you for making sure yours is healthy. But, be diligent about monitoring for the long-term diseases that will not be apparent for years. I'm here to help you if you need me.
How do you not have more subscribers? You should be past the 100K and near the million. It's a shame more women don't educate themselves. I knew it was coming, but surgery at 50 suddenly said, "Hello, I'm here !" You need to try to get on a show like Dr Oz or The Doctors
Many women comment on that. And the reason is this: Menopause is THE most neglected topic on Planet Earth, by the healthcare industry, the disease care industry, doctors, and women themselves. I knew when I started this mission that I would be climbing the steepest hill ever. I picked the most unpopular topic on earth. I'll never have the millions of subscribers that all the hair and makeup channels have. I save lives, but, apparently, women don't value that as much as beauty! If more women understood the value of this education, like you do, that would change. And that's my goal. I know I will do this for the rest of my life. Hopefully, it will make a difference, a positive one. Thank you so much for your kindness and confidence.
So good to know this stuff my dear friend neighbor advocacy partner and co worker experienced perimenopause at age 42 she's now 49 and as far as I know she's not on anything for estrogen I want to discuss it so hopefully she can find something right for her before that opportunity window closes on her life THANK YOU
Hello, I just found your channel today. 20+ years ago, I was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure after age 35 ... but it took a couple of years to get diagnosed. Not only was it devastating because it was so debilitating that I couldn't sleep and was miserable 24 hours, every day, but I still wanted children. Few doctors, medical or other professionals had any real knowledge, compassion or insights. I did my best to educate myself and others, but it has been a difficult road to travel and a lonely one.

I actually never heard of it until I worked at a ladies gym and several women in their 30's and 40's had premature menopause. I thought it was odd I never heard of it. My mom did not go into menopause until age 63. Which I know now is rare. I have a friend who went into menopause because she had ovarian cancer and had to get them removed at age 30 or something. She is tough as nails but has not talked about being on HRT maybe its embarrassing but she must be! Embarrassing because she is so tough and prides herself on that! Thats a very interesting graph I had no idea about these things but I am sure I can use this in the future and invite people to watch you. BTW I had my second Mona Lisa Touch yesterday. It was way more painful than the first one and burns much more than the first one. But I had such good results with the first one I need to finish but they said the last one hurts the most! Thanks for this education!
You see! You've heard terms that had no real meaning for you. That's why I teach like this. The implications are sooooo important. And, unfortunately, even women who they themselves are prematurely menopausal don't get the education they deserve. I hope they schedule consultations with me. I'll make sure they're well informed.
@@MenopauseTaylor I did suggest you to my friend who went into menopause at age 30 about you and she is in denial or something. She said she is "over it". Makes me feel like a big baby! Thanks for all of your help!

I’m 43 and post menopause. I was diagnosed at 42 kind of by accident. In hind sight I see there were signs, but no doctor was ever concerned because of my age. I’m on 0.05 patches and 100mg compounded micronized progesterone. I’m feeling better, but I might schedule a consult. It’s the long term concerns that are bothersome to me
dear Dr Barbie, I am 46, a healthy female and entered menopause. This is all new to me because I feel and look younger than my age. I exercise pilates and eat healthily. Do you suggest I start taking bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and what do you think about phytoestrogens? thank you! 💜💜💜
Thank you and again so informative! Such a crucial stage for a woman and so many wish to ignore - wish I had done this few years ago, but have now and realize almost a difference starting slowly but remarkably! My RH is just been so incredibly bad and for years wish that I had realized this is one of my reasons why!!!! Estrogen is just crucial for so much in the body and now I see and understand it! Over the last few years I have been on prednisone and methotrexate- and that has off course worsened the state of my ovaries and hence depleted my estrogen even further. I also take Celebrex but try not to - which is worse Barbie?? 🙁🤔
Terri, Why are you on Prednisone and Methotrexate? Do you have Rheumatoid Arthritis? When you ask, "Which is worse?" to what are you referring? Celebrex versus Methotrexate + Prednisone? Celebrex has the effect of increasing your risk of heart attack. Prednisone has the effect of increasing your risk for osteoporosis. It's a balancing act. But, not taking one of them has the risk of worsening your arthritis. And omitting estrogen has the effect of increasing your risk for heart attack, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's. You see, it's all a balancing act. But, it's not necessarily an either/or situation. Which is better or worse depends on your particular set of circumstances. I'd love to do a one-on-one consultation with you. You've been watching these videos from the start, and I just know that we could tailor so many things to your particular needs.

What are your strategies to ensure to get all the basic living needs in a new country? I would love to learn more about your lifestyle!
Well, living un different countries, learning new languages, and integrating into different cultures is an education like no other. As part of a military family, I moved a bit internationally as a kid. And, when I had to retire due to arthritis and told I would be an invalid in a wheelchair, I decided that i wanted to live in as many countries as I could ... while I still could!

This is so tragic. I just went through ovarian cancer due to brca1 mutation, they cut out my entire reproductive system, so now I'm in premature menopause at 37. Now I have to figure out what to do about the menopause AND the breast cancer risk, probably a mastectomy. What I think is absolutely outrageous is that my oncologist didn't even mention a word about my menopause, hormones or anything even though she knows everything has been cut out way too early, completely ignored the whole thing as if nothing happened 🤯 👉🏼I👈🏼 had to address it !! Being completely traumatized, not knowing if I was going to live or die, worrying about my child being left as an orphan, being sick from chemo, not knowing up from down from chemo brain, menopause brain, I who never had seen a doctor in my life before this tragedy happened .... I !!!! had to tell the oncologist of 20 years "wait a minute, hold on, didn't you guys just cut out my entire hormone production factory? I feel absolutely horrible from this, isn't there something about hormones that should be done?" If I didn't mention it myself, I would probably still be on my merry hormone free way and medical professionals around me wouldn't say a peep. What the heck is this. Absolutely outrageous. Not enough to be hit by one or two tragedies, but then be damned to a life cut short, damaged or threatened by premature aging and life threatening disease. I was grieving my life that was being cut short, my healthy self, my youth, my prime that was violently being robbed from me. I feel like a 80 year old woman after chemo and premature, sudden, I like to call it forced menopause. I was sitting in the shower crying, asking God why, I was so heartbroken that not only cancer took my possibility of having children, but now I would rapidly start becoming an old women way too early in my life. Because I didn't know I could go on hormones. That's how much my oncologist of 20 years educated me. Thank God, we have heros and life savers like Dr. Taylor and women who share their experiences. What a blessing the internet is in that way.

What are your thoughts on someone taking HCG to try to get their period back if they’ve not had it in 8 wks and my labs show I’m hitting menopause but I’m only 40? My mom had menopause 52. I don’t want to lose my period yet! I want to flourish and my period was easy. 😢

I am premenopausal and I am 40. I realized my symptoms were peri menopausal around age 39. I turn 41 this summer and am approaching 2 years since I realized I was peri menopausal. I just had the doctor do a hormone test on me to confirm my symptoms were peri menopause. He thought it was too soon, but did the test and confirmed it. So I am trying to figure out if this is early or on time. My mother was not peri menopausal until 50ish and had her last period at age 58.

I was in Perimenopause for over 15 years. First period at 14 1/2 years. Perimenopause started in my mid to late 30s. Last period just after my 53rd birthday.
@@CatherineDStapleton Well, the real "problems" are the diseases that are due to estrogen deficiency (heart attack, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's). They're all "silent" until it's too late. That's the big mistake in thinking that menopause is just a phase. It's the rest of your life. And how you manage it dictates the rest of your life. The women with the fewest symptoms tend to have the most diseases.
It would be like trying to prevent puberty. I can certainly help you, no matter what you desire. But it will require tailoring everything specifically to YOU in a consultation.

Hello. I got in perimenopause at the age of 39. I had the big luck to get a child with 41, which every doctor told me was impossible. Now with 42 I have a high Fsh of 40 with super low ostrogen under 0;2 and hot flashes day and night. My mother, grandmother and aunts got in menopause at the age of 50- 52. I’m healthy but have asthma. Could my super low BMI of 16.5, which I had my entire life, causes that early menopause. Should I try to get more wheight or is it too late now (I eat vegan most of the time). I am so afraid that I will not stay healthy long enough for my little girl. Maybe it was too selfish to get a child already in perimenopause. Is there any way to „slow it down“? Thanks for all your effort and greetings from Germany
So do we know why it can happen. A friend of mine went into prem menopause when she was 25 and has been on HRT ever since. Hence she never had kids. Why does it happen ?
There are many different reasons. Some have to do with diseases, some with treatments for diseases, some with surgery, some with low egg counts. Each situation is unique.
I start at the beginning and tell you everything. I do so because this is a real education. And you don't know what you don't know. It's always better to get too much information than too little.
I'm 43 this year and have not been feeling myself for the last 2 years, me and the doctor came to the conclusion it was fibromyalgia but the last 6 months I've noticed night sweats, itchy skin, headaches, irritability and always feeling hot although I never have a temperature. I'm not currently taking any contraceptive pill as I'm single but will I need to take some hormones if I am perimenapausal?
You should seriously consider scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will help you assess all your options, along with all their benefits & risks.
Had total hysterectomy 2 years ago still have one ovary am l considered a post menopausal being no period after the operation??? I am now 48 years old.
Please schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.I will tailor everything specifically to YOU. I cannot do so in a comment box. All consultations are via video conferencing, so it doesn't matter where you live.
If you take estrogen and progesterone every day in a balanced combination, it does not cancel the effect of estrogen. But it does protect your uterus against uterine cancer. You should not take the progesterone e every other day instead.
Nothing is just black and white. I had a premature menopause at age 42 (hypothyreoiditis), but I didnt want any treatment. Why? In the same time they detect I have a meningeoma - and they "are living from estrogen and progesteron" - so for women with breast cancer risk and meningeomas could be a premature menopause from one side a blessing too.
There have been cases of estrogen-dependent and/or progesterone-dependent meningiomas. But usually that terms refers to the fact that they are more common in females and the fact that they tend to be discovered after pregnancy. Everything about menopause has to do with balancing the benefits against the risks or YOUR personal situation. That's why my education is entitled "Your Menopause Your Way."
Dr barbie💖 The other day i was listening to a senior endocronologist apollo hosp new delhi. He was talking about transgenders who come to him. They r male by birth nd feel like they r females so these endo docs treat them by giving them estrogen. Dose as high as 2 mg three times in a day i.e 6 mg per day. He also said its very safe nd can be taken through out the life. I was really wondering estrogen which is a female hormone, it is supposed to b safe for men if they want to turn themself to females, how is it not safe fr females aft a certain age???
It makes you wonder doesn't it. The fact is that your entire adult reproductive life, you have loads of estrogen, and you love it. So, all the fears about estrogen are very misplaced. Fear is a very difficult thing to erase ... especially when it's rampant. Estrogen is much safer than people give it credit for.
U r right. There are so many gynacologist utubers who talk about managing menopause. They talk about all the possible options but no body talks about estrogen which is the most logical. I ve seen only u talk about estrogen. I dont understand y there is so fear nd stigma about. If i had not found u i wud have the same terror about estrogen. I dont know when things nd medical guidelines abt hrt change.
It changed in 2002 when the WHI study come out and was reported to the public in a manner that terrified everybody. The fear has lingered ever since, and fear is a very hard thing to erase.
I'm so sorry. I am definitely technologically-challenged. I'm a gynecologist, not a computer technologist. I create and shoot all these videos all by myself. I hope my shortcomings don't interfere with your getting the menopause education you deserve.
Schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will tailor everything specifically to YOU to determine your options. You may find that you have more options than you realize. No two women are alike. Never decide anything without tailoring everything specifically to YOU first. I do all consultations online.
An answer to what? Did I miss your question? Sometimes, TH-cam does flukey things and I miss a comment or two. But you know I respond to all comments daily. So, if you could pose your question again, I'll be happy to answer it.
The question below. If a low BMI has something to do with an early menopause and if it would make sense to get more weight already in perimenopause. Thank you very much.
I see your post about a low BMI causing early menopause. The fact is that a low BMI can cause you to stop having periods, but that is not always the same thing as early menopause. If your weight is extremely low before the average age of menopause, gaining weight can certainly cause your periods to resume if the low BMI was the reason they stopped. We see this all the time in extreme athletes.
This was so hard to watch...I'm almost in tears because a sudden, premature menopause has taken away my dreams of becoming a mother, its also made me very ill but my GP is very dismissive of it, thanks so much for highlighting this important issue, you look great by the way I really admire you for wearing whatever you want.

Now I have to figure out what to do about the menopause AND the breast cancer risk, probably a mastectomy. What I think is absolutely outrageous is that my oncologist didn't even mention a word about my menopause, hormones or anything even though she knows everything has been cut out way too early, completely ignored the whole thing as if nothing happened 🤯 👉🏼I👈🏼 had to address it !! Being completely traumatized, not knowing if I was going to live or die, worrying about my child being left as an orphan, being sick from chemo, not knowing up from down from chemo brain, menopause brain, I who never had seen a doctor in my life before this tragedy happened .... I !!!! had to tell the oncologist of 20 years "wait a minute, hold on, didn't you guys just cut out my entire hormone production factory? I feel absolutely horrible from this, isn't there something about hormones that should be done?" If I didn't mention it myself, I would probably still be on my merry hormone free way and medical professionals around me wouldn't say a peep. What the heck is this. Absolutely outrageous. Not enough to be hit by one or two tragedies, but then be damned to a life cut short, damaged or threatened by premature aging and life threatening disease. I was grieving my life that was being cut short, my healthy self, my youth, my prime that was violently being robbed from me. I feel like a 80 year old woman after chemo and premature, sudden, I like to call it forced menopause. I was sitting in the shower crying, asking God why, I was so heartbroken that not only cancer took my possibility of having children, but now I would rapidly start becoming an old women way too early in my life. Because I didn't know I could go on hormones. That's how much my oncologist of 20 years educated me.
Thank God, we have heros and life savers like Dr. Taylor and women who share their experiences. What a blessing the internet is in that way.

I'm so sorry you're struggling with this. I am here to help you.
This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. I cannot tailor things specifically to you in a comment box. It requires much more information than you can give me here, and you deserve much more information than I can give you here. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. I do them all via online video conferencing. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I look forward to meeting you and helping you.
What are your thoughts on someone taking HCG to try to get their period back if they’ve not had it in 8 wks and my labs show I’m hitting menopause but I’m only 40? My mom had menopause 52. I don’t want to lose my period yet! I want to flourish and my period was easy. 😢

This is such an important video as they all are. We all have our story x Thank you
You are so very welcome, as always, sweet Lorraine.
Dear Barbie, I left a message with Georgette to make an appointment with you , so hopefully it will be soon@@MenopauseTaylor
Yes, I'll be sure to alert her, too.
Basically we are living longer than intended. Going back in time living to 40 was a miracle.
I turned 43 last month I just found out I’ve been post menopausal for about a year and a half
You see, you are learning how to apply this information specifically to YOU.
If you ever want my help in tailoring, you can schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. Some things are easy to tailor. Others are more complicated. And, as you learn about more and more things that require tailoring, it can become overwhelming. So, I'm available to help.
I am premenopausal and I am 40. I realized my symptoms were peri menopausal around age 39. I turn 41 this summer and am approaching 2 years since I realized I was peri menopausal. I just had the doctor do a hormone test on me to confirm my symptoms were peri menopause. He thought it was too soon, but did the test and confirmed it. So I am trying to figure out if this is early or on time.
My mother was not peri menopausal until 50ish and had her last period at age 58.
Naomi,

I was in Perimenopause for over 15 years. First period at 14 1/2 years. Perimenopause started in my mid to late 30s. Last period just after my 53rd birthday.
Just imagine if you'd had this education before you ever started peri-menopause!
@@MenopauseTaylor I had it easy. My symptoms hardly bothered me at all. Even now at 7 years post menopausal, I have no problems.
@@CatherineDStapleton Well, the real "problems" are the diseases that are due to estrogen deficiency (heart attack, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's). They're all "silent" until it's too late. That's the big mistake in thinking that menopause is just a phase. It's the rest of your life. And how you manage it dictates the rest of your life.
The women with the fewest symptoms tend to have the most diseases.
I was post menopausal at age 38. I didn’t start HRT until 50 because it was so expensive. I aged too damn early.
If you are in perimenopause and have not a full year without a period and only 41 is there anything to do help prevent full menopause at this age
It would be like trying to prevent puberty.
I can certainly help you, no matter what you desire. But it will require tailoring everything specifically to YOU in a consultation. Premature menopause will affect the entire rest of your life.

@@MenopauseTaylor and scheduling a consult you be able to discuss my options on still getting pregnant & having my cycle back
@@nicole61482 In a consultation, we can discuss anything you include in your questionnaire for that particular consultation.
Hello. I got in perimenopause at the age of 39. I had the big luck to get a child with 41, which every doctor told me was impossible. Now with 42 I have a high Fsh of 40 with super low ostrogen under 0;2 and hot flashes day and night. My mother, grandmother and aunts got in menopause at the age of 50- 52. I’m healthy but have asthma. Could my super low BMI of 16.5, which I had my entire life, causes that early menopause. Should I try to get more wheight or is it too late now (I eat vegan most of the time). I am so afraid that I will not stay healthy long enough for my little girl. Maybe it was too selfish to get a child already in perimenopause. Is there any way to „slow it down“? Thanks for all your effort and greetings from Germany
Your amazing
Thank you for your videos
What should be the right range for oestrogen, testosterone, progesterone and others? I would like to understand my results. My Oestradiol
So do we know why it can happen. A friend of mine went into prem menopause when she was 25 and has been on HRT ever since. Hence she never had kids. Why does it happen ?
There are many different reasons. Some have to do with diseases, some with treatments for diseases, some with surgery, some with low egg counts. Each situation is unique.
She said that premature menopause is bad. We knew that already.
I start at the beginning and tell you everything. I do so because this is a real education. And you don't know what you don't know. It's always better to get too much information than too little.
I'm 43 this year and have not been feeling myself for the last 2 years, me and the doctor came to the conclusion it was fibromyalgia but the last 6 months I've noticed night sweats, itchy skin, headaches, irritability and always feeling hot although I never have a temperature. I'm not currently taking any contraceptive pill as I'm single but will I need to take some hormones if I am perimenapausal?
You should seriously consider scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will help you assess all your options, along with all their benefits & risks.
Thank you so much 🏝🌴🤗
You are so welcome, my dear!
Had total hysterectomy 2 years ago still have one ovary am l considered a post menopausal being no period after the operation??? I am now 48 years old.
Please schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.I will tailor everything specifically to YOU. I cannot do so in a comment box. All consultations are via video conferencing, so it doesn't matter where you live.
I’m taking bioidenticals does taking progesterone everyday cancels the effect of estrogen should I take progesterone every other day?
If you take estrogen and progesterone every day in a balanced combination, it does not cancel the effect of estrogen. But it does protect your uterus against uterine cancer. You should not take the progesterone e every other day instead.
Nothing special about premature menopause. It was horrible.
Well, yes. It's "special' in negative ways.
Are birth control pills a good treatment?
Nothing is just black and white. I had a premature menopause at age 42 (hypothyreoiditis), but I didnt want any treatment. Why? In the same time they detect I have a meningeoma - and they "are living from estrogen and progesteron" - so for women with breast cancer risk and meningeomas could be a premature menopause from one side a blessing too.
There have been cases of estrogen-dependent and/or progesterone-dependent meningiomas. But usually that terms refers to the fact that they are more common in females and the fact that they tend to be discovered after pregnancy.
Everything about menopause has to do with balancing the benefits against the risks or YOUR personal situation. That's why my education is entitled "Your Menopause Your Way."
I need your help please I want to tell you my story.
Schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online and it is the only way I can help you personally.
Dr barbie💖
The other day i was listening to a senior endocronologist apollo hosp new delhi. He was talking about transgenders who come to him. They r male by birth nd feel like they r females so these endo docs treat them by giving them estrogen. Dose as high as 2 mg three times in a day i.e 6 mg per day. He also said its very safe nd can be taken through out the life.
I was really wondering estrogen which is a female hormone, it is supposed to b safe for men if they want to turn themself to females, how is it not safe fr females aft a certain age???
It makes you wonder doesn't it. The fact is that your entire adult reproductive life, you have loads of estrogen, and you love it. So, all the fears about estrogen are very misplaced. Fear is a very difficult thing to erase ... especially when it's rampant.
Estrogen is much safer than people give it credit for.
U r right. There are so many gynacologist utubers who talk about managing menopause. They talk about all the possible options but no body talks about estrogen which is the most logical. I ve seen only u talk about estrogen. I dont understand y there is so fear nd stigma about. If i had not found u i wud have the same terror about estrogen. I dont know when things nd medical guidelines abt hrt change.
It changed in 2002 when the WHI study come out and was reported to the public in a manner that terrified everybody. The fear has lingered ever since, and fear is a very hard thing to erase.
Audio on this is fuzzy like rattling plastic bags in background
I'm so sorry. I am definitely technologically-challenged.
I'm a gynecologist, not a computer technologist. I create and shoot all these videos all by myself.
I hope my shortcomings don't interfere with your getting the menopause education you deserve.
I missed my window so now what do I do?
Schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will tailor everything specifically to YOU to determine your options. You may find that you have more options than you realize. No two women are alike. Never decide anything without tailoring everything specifically to YOU first. I do all consultations online.
An answer would have been great. ☹️
An answer to what? Did I miss your question? Sometimes, TH-cam does flukey things and I miss a comment or two. But you know I respond to all comments daily. So, if you could pose your question again, I'll be happy to answer it.
The question below. If a low BMI has something to do with an early menopause and if it would make sense to get more weight already in perimenopause. Thank you very much.
Can you see my post below?
I see your post about a low BMI causing early menopause.
The fact is that a low BMI can cause you to stop having periods, but that is not always the same thing as early menopause.
If your weight is extremely low before the average age of menopause, gaining weight can certainly cause your periods to resume if the low BMI was the reason they stopped. We see this all the time in extreme athletes.
