Are you talking about doughnuts Sabrina?

Ich bin ein Berliner? I think that’s it…?

Now I want doughnuts. And to be in Berlin, one of my most favourite places in Europe :heart_on_fire::heart_on_fire:

My OBGYN gave me several times the ‚Your tests are clear. It‘s not menpause.‘ talk. I suffered so badly from those hormonal changes. At some point I thought whether life was worth it.

I changed my OBGYN, got HRT after the first visit prescribed. He told me, the reason to prescribe HRT is not any test levels - as these fluctuate on a hourly basis - but a person’s experiences and symptoms.

I still have the ups and downs and some days are really hard, but I have a life again, and I want to live it.

If any of you are struggling very hard, consider changing your OBGYN and if HRT might be an option, to ease the suffering.

I know that feeling very well. My periods seem whack each time. Some periods my nipples hurt and are tender to the touch. Does anyone else have that issue ?

I get breast tenderness every month but that feels more like a heaviness than pain.

This is me today, did you seriously do any research and get anywhere.

Second day vibes are real.

What is it???
Day one I want to cry and murder people. Day two I am hyper and silly and peaceful. What is that day 2 hormone/change? Maybe it is just the aspect of release? I want to bottle it and chug it by the gallon.
I refer back to these charts but find nothing helpful. My guess is FSH but an increase in that is supposed to depress moods.

Seriously, I want to live my whole life in the day 2 vibes.

Edited to say “bottle it and chug it by the gallon” feels both completely appropriate and totally inappropriate for an addiction website.

I agree, but would be even better without blood. :smirk:
It is real though. :smiling_imp:

Seems to be follicular phase, increased oestrogen and testosterone.

Me! Putting on a bra is awful but after some time I can tolerate wearing it. But not every month.

I referenced a book called ‘period power’ some months ago here. Helped me a lot to understand my cycle better.
