Clara L.I had an ovary-sparing hysterectomy when I was 31 (buncha reasons, not cancer). Now at 36 I have 3 providers telling me I'm showing signs of perimenopause and want me to start on HRT.Gyno wants to put me on a Patch for estrogen, and a progesterone pill. She's offering me a choice between Slynd and Prometrium. I'm surprised at the differences between the two and am having a hard time deciding. I also have "mild" PCOS that I'm taking Spironolactone to manage. My free T is quite elevated but my total T is on the low end of the range for a cis woman. My gynecologist and endocrinologist can't agree on whether testosterone should be given to a woman with PCOS at this point, or if I should come off Spiro first. Any <a href="https://beige.party/tags/perimenopausal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#perimenopausal</a> folks here have any insights to offer on Patch+Prog? Bonus if you're also <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PCOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PCOS</a> and perimenopausal?

AngelaWelp, seems I jinxed myself exulting about <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/TheSubstance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheSubstance</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/bodyhorror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bodyhorror</a>, because my stupid <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/perimenopausal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#perimenopausal</a> meatsack has hit me this week with some fresh hell. 😂😭Old pain returned, joined by new pain, and a new symptom I can't even bring myself to discuss on main.Good Lorde, corporeality was a mistake.

Buffy Leigh (she/they)The last couple of years I've noticed that the days when I feel the most confident about myself and truly like what I see in the mirror are, without fail, the days right before my next period. I never noticed this in my 20s/early 30s, so I can't help but wonder if it's some sort of <a href="https://mas.to/tags/perimenopausal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#perimenopausal</a> thing. Like, do I actually physically look better those days and my body is sending out some sort of "Closing Out Sale, Womb Going Out of Business Soon" vibes, or is it my brain/hormones playing nice?

AngelaI felt under the weather the last few days, thought it was just premenstrual + <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/perimenopausal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#perimenopausal</a> woes, but with Flip falling sick and now Aaron showing signs of fatigue, it's apparent we've all caught something. 😩Three negative 🐀 so far. Aaron and I are mostly tired and lightheaded, but the poor kid conked out around 1pm, then woke up at 3pm, 🤮 his lunch up, and has been on clear liquids since due to repeated heaving. 🤒Any bugs like this going around out there?

EV not PetrolAahhhhhhh <a href="https://aus.social/tags/perimenopausal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#perimenopausal</a> sucks with the internal temperature gauge. My husband finds it fascinating. I’d be lying against him and he would actually feel my body temperature rising. It could be cold around us but up it goes.I use my Applewatch to moderate my heartbeat when I’m at the gym so I don’t accidentally overheat. Heat exhaustion is a real thing.
