Feeling so deflated 🙁

So I think I’ve officially had a missed period. Never had one before. Don’t know what it means. Feeling so deflated from this whole TTC rollercoaster!

Hormones all over the place

I've just come back from Tesco. I burst into tears in the middle of the shop. Not the first time it happened, crying in the middle of a crowded place. I think it's because I haven't accepted my body has changed and I can't do what I used to do before. I feel absolutely useless. Anyone in the same situation as me?

Silent migraines

Have noticed an increase in silent migraines on new HRT regime - was on Evorel Sequi for 14 months ( no migraines) - went onto Conti which didn't agree with me so was put onto Evorel 25 and Utrogestan. Have been on it a month and have had 3 migraines in that period which is unusual. Is this due to hormonal changes...

Whats everyone wearing for deodorant?

I've always used secret sport and have always felt that it worked. Lately Ive been noticing its not lasting as long. I dont know if its a combination of hormones and just it being 100+ degrees where we live but I feel like I'm reapplying 4+ times a day. 23.5 weeks along

PMDD treatment

Looking for others experiences. My mood swings don’t happen during the expected time of a cycle. I always felt this might be true, but since treatment for PMDD has started, it has been confirmed. I intend to bring it up at my next appointment. As it doesn’t seem like an urgent matter, considering I’ve been like this...

Period

This might be a silly question but how long did you period go back to normal or did it last longer my is about 7 days long now before my son it’s been 5 days I’m just curious if this is normal or not. My doctor told me if it goes past 9 days something is wrong

Hormonal

Late period A LOT of anxiety

My period was 6 days late! Naturally, I freaked TF out and spent money on pregnancy test because 3 kids rn is too much for me 😅 I took the test and it was NEGATIVE!! So after 6 days of anxiety and only 2 hours after taking a test… Guess who got their period!!! 🥴🤡

Perimenopause

I've had two irregular cycles- I'm 44 and will be 45 later in the year. My child is 2.5 and I realized we would never have our cycles together. This brought up some feelings. Can anyone relate or share on this?
