My Personal Experience with Perimenopause
Trying a new way to communicate with all of you… let me know if you like the video format.Video Summary:- I’ve been experiencing perimenopausal symptoms since the age of 40 (I’ll be 43 next month) which have all worsened over time; cyclical headaches, very sore breasts from mid-cycle onwards, cramps, painful & heavier periods, and disrupted sleep (waking up super hot and sweaty at 3am – not fun!).
- I went to see a conventional OBGYN to run some tests. I was given the choice of “there’s nothing we can do” or “anti-depressants”!
- I knew I needed bio-identical progesterone because in perimenopause, progesterone declines at a much faster rate than estrogen. So I asked the OBGYN if she knew a prescribing physician for bio-identical hormone replacement and she gave me a name.
- I went to see this functionally trained gynecologist and alas! I was given bio-identical oral progesterone.
- Within 1 month. ALL SYMPTOMS DISAPPEARED!

I don’t know whether to really laugh out loud or start crying…..anti depressants …. Sad, really sad.
When a Dr ‘diagnosed’ me with IBS, she told me – in front of my husband – that I needed anti depressants, that it was all in my head.
Today I laugh art it. But as you said: all the women that do not have this knowledge and don’t know better, will go for it.
Anyways, almost same symptoms here with the peri menopause. So, pls share more! -
schedule an appointment with Dr. Liliana Skorski at Health Bay. She’s my functional gynecologist here in Dubai. I’ve already discussed with her the opportunity to come on as a guest expert and she’s agreed! We’ll be lining something up to discuss perimenopause and the controversy/misconceptions around hormone replacement therapy.
