Perimenopause Help

Question by wulfemom: Progesterone Cream During PeriMenopause/Menopause?
I started using Progesterone cream because it seemed I had PMS all the time. I’m 45, and it’s helped. Has anyone else found relief from constant PMS-like symptoms or had negative side effects?

Answer by A Healthier You
Progesterone has been a life saver for me. My cramps and heavy periods are SO much better! I’ve been using it for about a year, and now my period seems to sneak up on me – no more week-of-PMS-spend-the-first-day-in-bed periods.

Answer by Cyndi
Reduce or better yet eliminate caffeine and sugar from your diet. Reduce starchy foods such as pasta, as it turns to sugar in the bloodstream. Add herbals like kava

Question by simplegrammar: what should be done to avoid from getting weigh during the perimenopause period?

Best answer:

Answer by ETxYellowRose
The only thing that will help during this period of time in your life is going to be eat healthy and exercise regularly.

Hormone replacements are going to cause weight gain so this is where the eating healthy and exercise come in.
You will probably still go through the night sweats, mood swings and all that good stuff regardless if you take the meds or not.
Your best bet is to take a natural herb instead of the prescription medications that they give.
