What do you wish someone told you about Menopause?
#alloypartner

Hormone halos, traveling patches, selective memory.
Itchy ears, frozen shoulders, brain fog, and the often present desire to throw something.

Before I went through menopause, I thought it was going to be insomnia and hot flashes. And the joy of never having to use a tampon again.

Boy, was I wrong.

There are some funny moments in menopause, and like they say, if you don’t laugh, you’ll rage. 😂

What are some of the things you wish someone told you about before you went into perimenopause?

And for links to my favorite skincare and hormone replacement therapy from Alloy, comment ESTROGEN.

And use code GLOSSED to save on your first order.

I’ll even send you a link to my favorite fan. 🪭

That you have to do morning stretches in bed before putting your feet on the ground or spend the morning in pain.

Weird sharp sudden pains in your extremities. Wtf was that? I have them especially in the day time while I'm at work. Thank goodness I work with a bunch of women who understand and we can just laugh it off.

No one told me menopause isn't always a singular event. Ive been in menopause* THREE FREAKING TIMES!! Meaning *I had no period for a year* + it came back like nothing ever happened for 5 months! Then went well over a year of no period and got a full on 7 day period just like when I was regularly menstruating. Im 60 now and am finally in meno for a 3rd time!

Nobody warned me about half of that list, and hearing other women say it out loud is what finally made it feel normal instead of lonely.

Make sure you tell people who have had blood clots not to use any of this without talking to their doctors.💕

I think the thing the at blew me away the most, besides the itchy ears was getting approx 3 hrs of sleep and functioning like you had slept for 8! Now I feel blessed to sleep 6!
