Hormonal Imbalance in Women, How to deal as a Husband?

Do not scold her, she wont understand you are fed up by her actions.

Do not highlight her incapabilities, it only makes it worse.

She wont be in a mood for anything you ask for, but you have to deal with it!

Try to say less "No" to her plans, you know when their brain is pretty messed up, they comeup with wrong decisions, dont call them insane it is just their phase.

They'll scold you for not so trivial things, but dont take it to your heart. If you are weak, you will scold them back, so keep it together.

What could potentially make her feel ok?

Make them feel rested, make a meal for them, but do not try to cook 3x a day. If you do they will again get stressed, they'll think, "wait am i letting go of my womenhood, cooking defined my womenhood, now is it getting replaced?"

Most women love to go out, a weekend trip.

Some fragrances work, sandalwood, musk, lavendar, and a gentle oil massage!

Whatever I say may sound like, make you feel like a "Yes Man", but sorry that's not what it is!

Maintain your ego, by ego I dont mean that you must mark a huge limit to yourself or make them feel less, that's not what Ego really means.

There's a episode in Tom n jerry, where they beautifully depict what ego is. In psychology, the ego is not arrogance, conceit, or a big head. Instead, it is the core, conscious part of your personality that navigates reality, manages your identity, and balances your internal desires with external rules

Expect Zero Gratitude, if you are giving her water, dont expect a "Thank you"!

It is a phase which as a husband you may think it is a long phase. But, get her the right treatment (medical and mental)

Stay strong folks!

Third time NOT a charm for HRT

I decided recently to give HRT another try knowing that the two previous times I tried were a nightmare. Guess what?… this third time has been one also. I am so glad for women that HRT works for, but I am beginning to believe it’s just not for me. It made me feel so anxious and depressed and plain nuts! First two times I tried the creams, this last time was the estrogen patch and progesterone pills. I felt better BEFORE starting the hormones. I am 55
And post menopausal and thought I’d give it another try for sex drive, energy, etc., but it only seemed to make it worse and I was barely at two months taking it. I know, supposedly you need to wait it out for 3 months or more. Sorry, guess I’m weak, but I just couldn’t stand to be miserable in my own skin another day, nor keep going back and forth to the dr and spending money! I never tried the pellets. Too expensive and didn’t want to have something in me and couldn’t get it out if I was having a bad reaction. Anyone else have experience with this? Please share❤️ #menopause #Hormones #HRT

Feeling better?

It's the third day since I started HRT for severe premenopause symptoms. Felt tired and run down for the first two days. Today is the first I feel like I'm returning to a more manageable base line. And it just so happens to be my birthday. I'm looking forward to being able to enjoy today with some much needed peace of mind.

Anyone here dealing/dealt with Menopausal bleeding/spotting…

So I am 2+ years into menopause, no hrt, etc. Spotted for a few days so of course I called my doctor. Fast forward, I have a thickened lining (12mm) and am now scheduled for hysteroscopy with D &C.

My health anxiety has kicked into overdrive. I am terrified. I know the doctor is looking for something-very scared of what they may find. I’m afraid to go under general anesthesia. The fear consumes my every thought of each day. It’s robbing me of my life-I’m stuck in my bed. I wish I had a better way of coping with this. So many people live with unanswered questions; yet they manage in the meantime to go to work, live life, etc. I wish that could be me.

Today was not a bad day but I feel lost

I didn't have the energy to go make dinner tonight. My girlfriend made me a big pot of tortellini for dinner and I feel awful cuz I didn't make her anything. I'm really overheating and having hot flashes today. I didn't tell her about it cuz I didn't want to bother her with my problem. I did say I was warm and she turned on the fan for a few minutes and it felt really nice. I'm having trouble with my vision and it is starting to hurt more than it did a few weeks ago. I can't handle typing on my phone but I don't have a laptop. It seems I can do it with one of my eyes closed. Fun times.

I was on testosterone for 6 years but I stopped 2 years ago. I've been back on it for a month

Way back when, my voice deepened, I grew facial hair, and I gained a lot of weight. I am on norethindrone to stop my period. I thought I could quit taking testosterone. Until I found out I'm balls deep in menopause and my body is not producing any hormones. So I've taken testosterone every week for the last month. I used to take .3ml but now I'm up to.5ml. I can already tell my voice is changing again. But that seems to be the only thing that is happening. Then again it's only been one month. Pauley helps me with my injection cuz I'm awful at drawing it out. I don't notice any energy difference. My libido is non-existent cuz I have sexual aversion disorder with sexual repulsion. Most trans guys get a major boost but I never did. I'm wondering how deep my voice is gonna get.

Ew

I've been burping up stomach acid for the last 15 minutes. I feel really yucky. My tummy hurts. My head is foggy. I'm gonna eat a Pepto and rest for a while. I'm wrapped up in my blankie like a burrito. One minute I'm cold and then I overheat. Menopause really sucks.

ADHD and menopause / bad combination

I recently learned that low estrogen makes the level of dopamine even lower as they share the same neurotransmitter ( os something like this). I’m now trying to find the correct balance between adhd medication and HRT. Not easy. Does anyone have experienced this? It increased my anxiety level and panic attacks- getting better now but not yet there… #menopause #adhdandlowestrogen

Feeling very down and I don't know why

I don't know what I am sad about. I feel really empty for no reason. It might be hormonal. I'm in menopause and I get hot flashes and my emotions are pure chaos. I'm not producing any hormones and I'm not producing any insulin. My body is broken.
