Managing Perimenopause Symptoms: 90 Days on Low-Dose Birth Control | Perimenopause Symptoms Update

In this video, I'm sharing my update on my Perimenopause management journey. After 90 days of treating perimenopause with low-dose birth control, many women report significant improvements in their symptoms. Common issues like irregular periods, hot flashes, and mood swings often become more manageable, with many experiencing more regular menstrual cycles and a reduction in the intensity and frequency of hot flashes. The hormonal balance provided by low-dose birth control can also help stabilize mood, alleviating feelings of anxiety or depression that often accompany perimenopause. However, as with any treatment, individual responses vary, and some women may still experience side effects such as headaches or bloating. It’s crucial to maintain regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider to monitor the treatment’s effectiveness and make any necessary adjustments.

It's been about 20 years since I had symptoms of perimenopause. Back then the standard treatment was antidepressants. Super unhelpful. Keep sharing your journey. It's important that people know they aren't alone and how help is available. ❤🍊

There's still not much in the way of treatment, considering it's so miserable. Thank you!

You might need a higher dose birth control to stop the pms and periods. I still had a lot of breakthrough bleeding with the same one you're on. Desogen (Apri) is another combined pill that has a higher dose of progestin and estradiol and stopped my periods completely. Norethindrone (in loestrin) is very androgenic and might be making acne worse. Desogestrel (the progestin in Desogen etc) has much less androgenic activity, so it counters things like acne, oily skin, hair loss etc. I can't take estradiol anymore because of migraines, so I am on nexplanon now to manage my symptoms of peri-menopause. I'm also using a vaginal estrogen cream to combat dryness. So far so good. Thank you for the video:)

This is super helpful, thank you for sharing! I do need to see the gyno again soon, going to be making an appointment. My new thing is waking up with bad headaches every morning around the time of my ovulation calendar. Even though I'm not menstruating. I think that's weird, but it's also a PMS symptom. So you may be right, I may need something different.

I've never heard of perimenopause until this year. Honestly, I don't know much about it, but I am wondering if I should research it since I'm turning 40 this year. Thank you for giving me things to learn about.

@LoseWeightSara 26 дней назад

I didn't know much about it either! And from what I understand there isn't a ton of research about it either. But I agree with you, look into what it is. Not every woman experiences it but it's good to know in case you start having weird symptoms out of the blue.

Hs is just awful 😞 I've been dealing with it and cystic acne for years and am currently going through a flair up. I've literally had to change my entire wardrobe to super soft leggings because the seams rubbing cause seriously bad flair ups for me

@LoseWeightSara 26 дней назад

I didn't even know HS was a thing, but my gyno recognized it immediately. It's so painful and shameful, even though it's not my fault. I'm so sorry you have to deal with it. I hate it so much!

Did you notice any weight gain since starting the BC?

@LoseWeightSara 15 дней назад

Technically, it's hard to say. I have gained about 5-7ish pounds, but I have been stress eating and not managing my food intake properly. So I can't say if the BC caused weight gain OR just my habits being lax, realistically it could be a combo of both!
