Hey everyone, welcome my beauties!

We are working on bringing the wiki and other resources over to lemmy. The rules are posted, but we are relaxing some of them for now as we want you to jump in and post whatever is on your mind!

Ready, set go…!

    Oh yeah, absolutely. A few weeks ago I was at a conference, standing in a line with my colleagues, dripping with sweat and feeling just way too hot. It lasted so long. T’was not fun.

      That sounds awful. I am so sorry, don’t think I have this yet but I’m sure I will find out. How long into peri before you started getting this out of curiousity?

        I actually have no real way to gauge how long I’ve been in peri! I have a mirena so I stopped getting my period a really long time ago. It’s only going by other symptoms that I figured out I was in peri. I’m 49, and I think I’ve been in peri for at least a year.

          Yup symptoms…that’s all you can go by. Even then if you keep the mirena, you won’t really know if you’ve reached post-meno either because symptoms can carry on after that too.

        There’s really no rhyme or reason with hot flashes. Mine didn’t start until I became post-meno!

          I’ll just have to wait and see I guess. Maybe I will move back to Canada if it gets too much. Lol. Moved away to leave the cold winters. 🥶
