mine basically came on over night, doctors thought i had covid as i was that ill, before that i was really fit, i do remember a month before having a hot flush but it only lasted a few seconds, not hours like now, anyway docs have agreed to the bloods ive asked for, but they have to talk to each other about the progesterone (probably because ive asked for natural) x
Oh goodness that’s so unfair on you 
Perimenopause is so mentally draining.
I only get hot flushes when I’m on my period.
The doctors always associate hot flushes with menopause or Perimenopause. They have no clue about the other symptoms. I had to lie to my DR and say I get hot flushes all the time for her to do hormonal bloods. That’s when I was diagnosed!
have you tried menobalance by starpowa?
im glad you dont get them all the time, theyre draining, and the night sweat gee whizz, no ive not tried that, where do they sell it? i havent even slept through a night in years, but magnesium really helps x
my gp is quite young and didnt even think it was peri, for a year was sending me for scary tests and scans etc, then a few weeks ago my old gp was covering and the first thing she said to me was it sounds like something called peri menopause x
holland and barrett! definitely try them they are a miracle as well as black cosh
hey lovely, just to say hope your appointment tomorrow goes well, will be thinking of you, hugs x
awww thanks so much! I did the mistake of googling! It’s made me anxious.
This is the second time going back after a year for polys so they will be keeping a close eye. Apparently hormone treatment might be needed.
Anyway let’s see…will message you x
you do not need estrogen, as your periods are close together, you have enough estrogen right now, tut tut naughty lady googling haha x
estrogen is probably causing the polyps x
Hey! had my appointment early today as they had a lot of cancellations. So it was more of a consultancy. She did say peri causes 20/21 day periods.
She’s going to insert the mirena coil next week as it will stop the polys reappearing she has got one fitted in and it’s the best thing ever apparently! So will give it a go!
The gynecologist is going to perform a hysteroscopy to have a good look inside my womb next Thursday.
Hoping it goes well. CA125 is normal and it’s not recommended for women who are still having periods apparently as they give false results.
I mentioned my lower pain and she said its your bowels!! So called the Dr and the Labs discarded my bowel test as it wasn’t labelled! I said all the paper work is in There!!! there is nowhere to write your name etc on the slim lined bottle!
So have to do it again to rule anything out! So painful everything!
all sounds positive which is good 
i had the mirena years ago, the only negative was it made my migraines worse so had to get the copper coil, i had the most annoying consultation with gp earlier, the lack of knowledge had me in tears x
awww bless you sending you hugs…I’ve been researching on the mirena and the articles don’t sound positive.
I sufferer from acne from 16 to 35!
I’ve been getting the odd hormonal spot on my jawline. The mirena can make it worse! as it releases hormones whereas the copper one doesn’t?
I’m not using it for contraception but to reduce periods flow.
Which one would you recommend? I feel so confused as I don’t want acne it will finish me off!
aw hugs back, the copper doesnt contain hormones so wont stop polyps lovely, youd be better off with progesterone cream maybe x
hey Toria,
Had my hysteroscopy today. It was painful! never want to do that again. They found a polyp and removed it
did a biopsy of uterus lining and have got a follow up in 2 weeks.
Feeling so nauseous and tired. I will ask about 21 days period cycle at my appointment as this specialist just seemed to interested in getting the procedure done
How are you?
at least its done and out of the way, im feeling awful to be honest, i had a delayed reaction to vaccine but that is going down now x
oh goodness what sort of reaction?
i tried to post a picture the other day but it got deleted, after 9 days my arm swelled up and had a big red circle rash on it and i felt like i had the flu, i took antihistamines and used ice, sent a pic to doc for my records as they seem to think i dont have allergies (yeah right)? i cant eat dairy, gluten etc etc and used to be able to eat everything and to make matters worse the antihistamines have given me bad side effects, cant win haha x
oh goodness! my sisters arm is hurting and she’s been to the drs had it 5 weeks ago and now has to have a MRI. Ever since the damn jab. They think she’s got inflammation. She’s in a lot of pain.
Has your rash gone down?
yes the rash has gone down, oh no bless your sister, that isnt good 
the worst thing is the antihistamine were helping my inflammation but too many side effects, going to order some probiotics see if they take down the allergies x
Good plan. I take probiotics took me 3 years to find the right ones! they’ve calmed down my heartburn thank goodness. Bloating and stomach acid still here! All my organs hurt especially the right handside. Ultrasound was all clear apart from my liver which has been like this for 3 years. Not sure what it is
