Is anyone looking forward to menopause?

I've always had awful periods. Awful cramps, comes and goes as it pleases and often overstaying it's welcome......I'M ready for menopause..... everyone I talked to who's been through it says it's awful.... but maybe they are just weenies? Lol idk I just can't wait to be done .... is that normal? 😂

I heard the hot flashes are the worse and give you lots of anxiety. But having periods month after month is horrible and I’m over it.

I’ve been ready since the first day I had my period, I’m so over it

Yeah I am already on anxiety meds so at least I'm being proactive there 😂

I’m going through it atm, it’s not fun! I’ve put on a stone in weight in a year despite eating less, my hair is falling out in handfuls whenever I wash or brush it, my boobs have shrunk and I’ve got loose skin there, I have to wear towels constantly because I can just bleed randomly, and while I don’t have hot flashes, I feel sweaty all the time and I feel very smelly and clammy even though I wash and spray constantly, my skin is terrible it’s spotty and dry, I can’t settle to sleep but I’m exhausted all the time, and I’m aching everywhere. The doctor said I could have ten years of this until my periods stop completely! Joy!! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Lol your mean.

The itching is insane. I now have excema for the 1st time in my life. 😭

@Dana try double base cream, slather it on and don’t rub it in completely so it can soak into your skin. It’s brilliant!

Where do you get that???

I like the idea of no periods. But, I am already experiencing a lot of perimenopause symptoms and they are worse than a period. The period was 4-5 days a month and the perimenopause symptoms are all month long. I keep getting new symptoms and I think wtf 🤬 is happening to me? I may be a weenie. But I am not enjoying this so far 😂

Same, girl!

I always had bad cramps. After the pregnancy, I was taking Motherlove More Milk Plus for lactation. Now I take it when I get my period. It takes my cramps away. I used to take advil. These herbs really help.

I’m ready for it to go away! I’m in the process of a skipped period right now! Seeing if it shows up again on the 21st! Ehhhhh it can go away now !

I had a partial hysterectomy in 2011 so no periods for a long time however my 15 year old daughter has bad periods and when she's on her period I get horrible cramps. It's just like when women hang out a lot their cycles sync so while I don't have an actual period, I do get cramps. I'm also in peri menopause now and get some hot flashes and they suck but they prescribed me hormones and it helps.

@Dana Amazon sell it, they might sell it in the chemist too x

@Ann I’m right there with you. I did have some hot flashes but I started working out and eating better which helped. All the other issues are so much. I can workout every day and eat light but will still gain like 3 lbs that week. I’m currently awake because I keep yawning but my body won’t settle down. I have all the symptoms you have and my doctors say the same. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

@Kyla hang in there 🤗 xx

@Ann thank you ❤️

I have adhd and peri-menopause so the symptoms are worse but I would take a period any day! Horrendous anxiety, depression, not being able to sit through a meeting without bursting into tears, sore joints, awful headaches, lack of sleep, breast pain, bloating, ibs, dizziness, lack of concentration, eczema, palpitations, restless legs, mood swings, no energy, weight gain and I fart constantly. It’s absolutely shit and if you’re under 45 like get gaslit and told that actually you’re fine. It’s just shit
