As the title says, I am 42.5. I have a mirena coil so no idea about my cycle, get the odd bit of breakthrough at random times.
Recently I have just felt so so down in the dumps. Also had a few complete memory blanks recently. Like no idea where my train of thought was. I do sweat a bit at night, and I seem a bit on edge but not anxious per se.
Started periods late at 15/16 so would be surprised to finish them early.
Endometriosis, surgery incl ovarian so a reduced size and function on one side (less estrogen? Earlier meno?)
Finished having kids, youngest is 3. I had assumed some of how I am feeling was post partum til recently.
No sex drive at all, but do enjoy it once it's started.
Itchy down below, particularly perineum (vaginal atrophy?)
Take a multi vit, fish oil and collagen. Eat very well lots of veg and protein.
Drink alcohol but not loads (anymore).
Aiming to get back in the gym and up my steps.
In my shoes, would you do any tests or approach the doctor for HRT? Work is the big problem, I seriously CBA. I can't make myself do anything at all.
