Perimenopausal

[LolaLizzy35]

I’m 35 been diagnosed as Perimenopausal for the last year,, luckily I have two beautiful children. My concern is my bodily changes I’ve gained weight and am struggling to drop it, and the worst side effect is the change in discharge. Does anyone else suffer from these sorts of side effects.

Sadly I'm with you on the weight that won't shift, despite a vegan diet and regular trips to the gym .

Lola have you ask for medication? Are you on hrt? You are too young and you will need hormones.
You have gained weight cause your body struggle to find estrogen that is stored in fat cells.

Emerald13, yes I have recently been prescribed Estelle duo, I had said I wanted to try the natural route but was told in no uncertain terms I couldn't. It's all very confusing

Catastic is very disheartening isn't it, my GP advised that the hrt may help with all the chunk lol

I’m still going the natural route but am open to the fact that may have to change if the rage and excessive and irrational emotions won’t go away. I’m 41. My mother was early with menopause too.

Currently I only have to glance at a glass of wine to add a couple of kilos. Trying to leave the alcohol alone and limit the caffeine to two cups a day. I know we are advised to eliminate the caffeine all together, but honestly feel I would be worse without it...

I’m currently going to the gym three to four times a week and do feel better for it. No weight loss though...

@Catastic
My jobs very physical and tiring,
I wish I had more time to go the gym,
I'm totally with you on the wine,,, don't drink hot drinks but wine I could live on x
