I don’t know if it’s the heat, but I’ve had the worst night sweats over the last couple of nights and ended up coming on my period this morning (I don’t track anymore as I’ve got the Mirena coil) - just wondered if anyone else has had the same 6 months pp?

I’m 11 days pp and a serious nightly sweaty Betty! I’m destroying 2 pairs of jammies a night and having to sleep on a towel halfway through the night to stay sort of dry 🙈🙈 please tell me I’m not the only one?! And please tell me when this joyful side effect will end 😅😅 (Cute baby pic included below… because…

Hi, Just wondering how long people's cycles can get with PCOS. Mine usually range from 33-40 days but this month I am currently on cycle day 59! I am currently testing negative but have no symptoms of my period arriving anytime soon. So frustrating! Any advice would be much appreciated 🙂

On the 23 my progesterone was 21 and now it is 7. Im thinking that means it did not take this cycle. Would anyone have any insight to confirm or a similar experience?

Hi everyone On payday Wednesday I took a We Test Bio Fsh Perimenopause Rapid Test Midstream Test Kit from TerryWhite since I had symptoms and it showed up saying i have perimenopause in its results within 3 minutes. Today I’m getting a blood test done with the same test included along with a few extras test.

6 months pp. still no period.

I have always been super lucky (or so I thought!) having light and short periods (talking 2 days), and I don’t suffer with horrendous cramps or anything just fairly standard period pains. I get super painful boobs from about 2DPO until my period has finished… and all I have read as that this could be hormone imbalan...

I swear there's a line there but it's a real squinter.... I'm 15 DPO, day before my period is due. Shouldn't this be darker?? 😩 I've had a few chemicals in the past and I just want this to be the one that sticks 🌈 ❤️ 🙏

I hate to wearing tampons, always have my whole life but more so since having a baby! We go to Europe soon and am due to have my period once while beachside. Any tips on how to deal with this?! 🫠🫠

Just sharing some crafts

I’m almost 7 month pp and my periods seem to be coming every 8-10 days 🥲 they’re lasting around 6 days but is this normal? I also breastfeed at night so I thought this was meant to reduce them. Also on the mini pill but started this just after I gave birth

How do you get tested for hormonal imbalance ?? I just quit breast feeding in June and I feel like garbage, has anyone experienced this before ? How long does it take to get over it ? Tia

Are you meant to have periods on this HRT? I haven't had any so wondered what others are like on this regime. Thanks.

Hi all, I’m waiting for my blood test results at the moment to look at my hormone levels but i’m so fed up. After being regular (to the day) with my periods pretty much since I started them - all of a sudden i’m having 25-28 day periods, brain fog, hot flashes, random nausea and extreme tiredness. Had ultrasounds d...

period was due 4 days ago should it be darker

I'll be 37 in a couple months and over the past year my periods which have always been like clockwork, 28-32 day cycles have since postpartum turned into 19-24 day cycles. And my periods have always been 7 days so I literally bleed half the month! I haven't seen an gyn about it yet but I started using progesterone c...

Anyone else wake up drenched in sweat at night? I read online that it has to do with hormone levels changing... I wonder how long it is going to take to settle because I can't just change my sheets daily 😅

I’m finding this week (35 weeks today) extremely hard hormones wise. I can’t stop crying, feel super isolated and down - anyone else getting an intense hormone surge around this time?? This is my second and I don’t remember this last time. It almost feels like the “day 3” hormones if anyone recalls these from prev...
