If you haven’t yet, have a read through our Menopause Wiki, it’s updated all the time…just yesterday in fact to add links to more recent studies and expand on the definition of perimenopause (early and late stage). There’s also things you can do to help mitigate symptoms, but it sounds like you’re already doing a pretty good job of that!

Yeah we tried to get a bunch of us over from reddit, and it was difficult…change is hard sometimes. <sigh>

Congrats!

What are you looking for? There’s a bunch of obgyn’s out there offering advice. There’s a good podcast with the authors of Estrogen Matters that’s worthwhile.

yeah for sure, let me know how it goes!

I would think that taking it every so often should be fine, but because the Mirena more than adequately covers the progesterone side of things, you may also get some negative side effects from the extra progesterone. (increased anxiety/depression/bloat). I don’t think the progesterone tablet takes time to “build-up” in your system before it starts working, so you should notice sleepy effects shortly after taking it, but make sure you take it before bed.

c/menopause is pretty much self-explantory
