I have been going through menopause for 11 years really struggled hot flushes, fatigue , always hungry, weight gain.joint pain panic attacks anxiety,unable to sleep.was this me for the rest of my life as it sucks.finally I made it to the 1 year mark (no periods) but could feel myself still cycling without the period..Then after 13months I have a period, not heavy like they had been.That knocked me down and I really thought meanopause symptoms don’t end. But coming up to another year without periods. I feel very different. I don’t have the bloat or the water weight anymore. I can’t remember , the last cross words I had with my husband or the late night snacks I use to eat.in-fact I have gone off anything sweet or salty I don’t snack anymore. I want to wake up every morning life now has a bit of interest for me again.i believe I am getting better as each day goes on. This lady in this video knows what she’s talking about and that’s what made me have my say. keep up the good work

[@franceschukwukere209]

My period stopped at 51, no HRT, no other symptoms before or after. I reasoned it was because I've been on regular exercise for about 20 years before menopause. In fact, I often prided myself for not having menopausal symptoms. Then, 6 years after menopause, on my 56th birthday, the cacophony of horrible symptoms (high BP, brain fog, hot flashes, night sweats, body aches, Insomnia, etc) visited me, throwing me off balance. Within 2 months, I became a shadow of my old self, lost so much weight due to confusion and anxiety. It was during the covid era, no free movement, and hospitals were too busy. Then, I got the proper diagnosis from a very kind doctor. As I struggled to heal myself, I found myself hooked into several of your KZbin lectures. The rest is history. I sincerely cannot thank you enough. Thanks, once again. ❤️

I had periods in October 2021 when I was 48 years old and then no periods, so in October 2022 I thought I had menopause but in May 2023 again I had periods for 5 days though not very heavy, and after that till now no periods, so now in July 2024 I think I have menopause but can't be sure. But the journey is tiring. Waist pain, body ache , joint pain...and nobody understands, they still expect me to be that young woman who never gets tired. I had surgery (adenomyomectomy and myomectomy) in April 2020 so my doc won't give me hrt, I mean this is what he suggested. I am waiting for the day when I will be normal again.

It is quite rare for the menopause to go on for so long, often other health issues are also a factor. I would ask your doctor for a general health check for iron, thyroid function and vitamin D and B12 levels, these can all cause menopause-like symptoms.

Hi Gillian Many women find that symptoms ease or stop over time. If you are still getting symptoms after 5 years or more then it is wise to check with your doctor. Other health issues such as anaemia. thyroid disfunction, vitamin D or B12 deficiency, diabetes and heart disease can all cause symptoms that are identical to menopause ones! Best Wishes Eileen

[@ethelbentancourt2233]

My question indeed??

[@lisadiconti]

Thanks for the info! I'm confused...I had my period last week but my blood tests last year suggested I'm in menopause. I haven't had a period since last February. I am currently taking HRT. Does HRT cause periods or can I still just be having periods and not totally menopausal yet? My gyno says she knows women still bleed even after being suggested in menopause. I'm getting an ultrasound done next week to make sure I'm okay.

[@AvogelCoUk]

HRT raises your hormones up to near enough pre-menopause levels (this is how it stops menopause symptoms by fooling your body into thinking there are plenty of hormones). However, in doing this it can also bring your periods back. Some women will also still get the odd period on HRT so it could be a number of things. It is good to get this checked out so glad to hear that you are doing this.

[@lisadiconti]

A. Vogel UK: Thanks so much. I appreciate your guidance...and your video. :)

Eileen, Im confused on how fertility is connected to this. Does HRT make it possible to conceive. Isnt this what they do when getting an egg donation. I felt very sad when the symptoms landed on me at 49. Now 50 and have less symptoms thank G-d, and no HRT or patches.

I went off HRT 6 yrs ago and still having hot flashes. A LOT. It's only subsided about 20%. I was on HRT for 10 yrs.

[@AvogelCoUk]

Unfortunately, coming off HRT can bring symptoms back and it can sometimes take quite a while for the body to readjust to the sudden loss of hormones due to this. Have you tries the herb sag? This can often be helpful for flushes and sweats and usually works quite quickly. Best Wishes Eileen

Hi Ava If you are still struggling after so long it may indicate that other health issues are involved so it is a good idea to get a general health check with your doctor.

All this to say in the video she said menopause is 5-7 yrs i believe...is that the WHOLE PROCESS FROM PERI TO POST OR JUST MENOPAUSE?

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Tanya The whole process is different for every woman, some will have a short time and for others it can be a good number of years. However, on average, from the time hormones first start to change (perimenopause) to the point where you are two years without periods (post menopause) is about 5-7 years. Best Wishes Eileen

Having had a total abdominal hysterectomy due to severe endometriosis 4 years ago, I was suddenly plunged into surgically induced menopause. Due to the severity of the endometriosis I had to go on tibolone for a year, then a very low dose estrogen only hrt. I'm not suffering from mood swings, or night sweats. I don't have hot flashes if I keep caffeine to a minimum, and drink lots of water. I take magnesium and calcium, and always make sure I look after myself as best I can, but my main symptom is fatigue. Constant daily exhaustion. I find it very difficult to function, and complete daily tasks without feeling the need to sleep. I don't sleep well at all in the night, but if I do I'm still exhausted. Do you think Its because of the low estrogen dose. I cannot increase the dose because of the chance of endometrial foci stimulation. Is there anything that could be used in addition that won't interact.

Hi Katherine Fatigue can be caused by a number of health issues that can be confused with menopause ones. Low iron, low thyroid function, low vitamin D and B12 are common culprits so it is a good idea to ask your doctor to test for these just to rule them out. You could also try the herb Maca as this is known to help with fatigue; I usually recommend a liquid one, if you can get this, if not then look for a 500mg capsule for best benefits. Best Wishes Eileen

The worst part of menopause is that you start to visibly age rapidly . So some woman want to reverse that and want their period back. Is there anything that can reverse the menopause and start period again, please can you make a video on that. I don’t want a menopause yet.

I agree. No symptoms with menopause but I'm dreading that aging. Guess it's what nature does, though.

[@robinsmith4958]

Get on HRT, it stops the aging by replacing the estrogen.

[@sallybutton6237]

Yes, I totally agree, this happened to me, I literally looked like I’d aged 10 years after my first year of battling menopause. No one tends to mention this but it’s certainly true.

Thier a women says on tv you have it all your life she said

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Faye You would be post menopause for the rest of your life but that doesn't mean to say that you would keep getting symptoms for all that time. Many women I know post menopause now have no symptoms and feel fine. Best Wishes Eileen

[@sharonbale3329]

No period for 2 1/2 years but still feel like crap and can't sleep without pills, well got a while to go yet them i guess

[@AvogelCoUk]

Sorry to hear about your sleep issues. Given that you are now 2.5 years post menopause there could be some other underlying issues rather than hormone changes. It could be helpful to see a natural health practitioner like a herbalist or naturopath to help discover the root cause of your insomnia.

[@AnnetteMurphyger]

As far as I am concerned asap.

[@hvdb4492]

What options do we have other than hrt. I’m only dealing with dryness and sleep issues

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi You could try a combination of the herbs Valerian and Hops for sleep and dryness can be alleviated with a supplement called Sea Buckthorn Oil. Best Wishes Eileen

[@puffymuffin9064]

Can you tell me if Anixety and Anixety disorder the same as carry the same symptoms

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Puffy Muffin There are often different names for the same condition depending on which country you live in and even the information you may read online. If you're concerned, then the best thing to do is speak to your doctor, they should be able to explain properly for your specific situation. Best Wishes Eileen

Doc ,is HRT IS GOOD? I AM MENOPUASE SINCE BEFORE2019.UNTIL THIS TIME....MY SIS INLAW IS OBY..SHE SUGGESTED TO ME TO HRT....

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Emelita Taking HRT is a very personal decision so, if you are interested in trying it, the best thing to do is discuss this with your doctor. They can make sure that it is suitable for your situation, what side effects there may be and how long you can stay on it. Best Wishes Eileen

😳 IS THAT 5 YEARS "AFTER" THE 2 YEARS WITH "NO PERIOD"?? ITS GOING ON 3 YEARS NO PERIOD FOR ME, DO I HAVE ANOTHER "4 YEARS" OF THESE SYMPTOMS?

[@AvogelCoUk]

Hi Marva The average time span is 5 years; that’s approx. 3 years peri-menopause then 2 years without a period, however, this is very different for every woman, some will have a much shorter time and others a lot longer.

[@marvanewborn2287]

@@AvogelCoUk😄 I'm so excited that you contacted me personally! I've been taking "Estroven" for the past 2 years which has been the only thing keeping me from jumping off a building😂! Jan. 2020 will be 3 years with No Period, I'm surviving and symptoms seem to be a little more manageable but im scared to get off the 'aid'! I'm thinking I may need to begin to ween myself off but when I do, here come the tension, anxiety and hot flashes! But I can say, the flashes are not as "severe" as they use to be, but they're still very present.😗

Is it possible to bleed after a year without a period

[@elainemorgan5629]

Yes I did. I went a whole year without having a period. Then one came out of the blue when I was fifty eight. I was very upset because after all the sleepless nights and hot flushes I felt as if I was back at the start again. I saw my doctor who put me on the pill for three months. This was a much needed 'holiday' from my continual emotional and physical sufferings and actually my symptoms have not returned as badly. I took my last pill about two months ago. I hope things will get better from now.
