Perimenopause Symptoms or Hormonal Imbalance in Women?

[@meganbaldwin1699]

I’ve lost entire year of my life dealing with all of this. Not to mention my job and hundreds of dollars spent. It shouldn’t be this way! Thank you. 🙏

[@ummayesha111]

is it possible they all happen at the same time ? perimenopause is in itself a phase where there are huge neuro endocrine changes ?

[@weareaudre]

For sure, I feel like perimenopause can be a total wildcard sometimes. But also by working it backwards and testing and supporting these individual systems, even if what you are experiencing could be considered “true” perimenopause and cessation of ovarian function, the symptoms can be better supported.

Hormonal imbalances in women is caused by perimenopause and menopause.

[@weareaudre]

Yes, it definitely is/can be! And particularly for women who think they’re experiencing early perimenopause it’s important to rule out other potential causes of similar hormone imbalances so you can address the imbalance properly and support yourself the best way possible. That’s why I clarify in the video the different between true perimenopause and perimenopause symptoms caused by other imbalances in the body :)

I am facing the same issue of Hot flashes, dry skin . I am looking for help no doctor pays attention just on blood test FSH and AMH is normal so they rule it out it is okay unable to explain. What should I do

[@weareaudre]

If you skip to the part in the video where I talk about thyroid testing, that might be something to look into! We really need to talk more about advocating for ourselves when it comes to healthcare, so making sure you insist on a full thyroid panel, including TSH, free T3 and T4, total T3 and T4, and thyroid antibodies. Also, maybe trying a fertility tracking app to track your estrogen could be helpful!

No one is listening to me and I have all of these symptoms.

[@perlachong371]

I’m so sorry no one listens. I been dealing with perimenopause symptoms and I understand how hard it is to go through it and still handle life. We can support each other.

[@weareaudre]

It’s so depressing and frustrating to not be listened to by doctors. I’m so sorry you’re going through this, I hope this video helped a little in giving ideas for tests to request and to be able to advocate for your own experience 💜
