I feel like I’m between back in a routine and getting there slowly. Been making some changes to what I eat which is a plus and work has increased so that keeps me from snacking most days and brings home more money which makes me less stressed. But I’m not fully back yet.
The Horrendous weight gain
Struggling with weight gain 😫 changed my diet to the Mediterranean Diet and joined the gym and instead of losing weight I'm gaining more. It's really getting to me. Is anyone else having the same problem?

Yes I’m having issues too. I’ve maintained since 2021 but I cannot lose. Just got back from my doctor. I told him I’m starting Silvessa from Bonafide since it had inositol in it to help lower triglycerides and A1C because it helps metabolize sugar better (along with regrowing hair). He agreed to 6 months trial of that before we discuss more but he mentioned GLP-1 or a metabolism booster or since I have PCOS Metformin to help me loose since I have tried different diets too. Right now cutting carbs midday (lunch 7 days a week and 2 dinners when I’m working evenings) is helping a tiny amount.

@Kelly Pavlicek watch the fruit. A lot has tons of sugar. I told mine that when I’m working a full day I’m too busy to snack so I have cut back. I’m not craving sugary foods and my portion sizes are a lot better too which means GLP-1 won’t really help so we are looking towards metabolism boosters - short term usage only. He wants to jump start my system because it’s been lacking for so long. Let me know what your doctor says and ask him about Bonafide products. They are all natural and not medication or prescription based (just and FYI)

Sleeping with bamboo bedding - really cools me down. I’m outside San Antonio and we have be having massive heatwaves. I had been using my cotton summer quilt but woke up so hot the other night. I tossed the blanket off and grabbed one bamboo flat sheet. Even covered part of my head and I was cold shortly after and slept over 2 hours straight after being up every 40-60 min with night sweats.
HRT vs the pill
Hey ladies! I'm 44, have been in peri for 2 years. I just had a full hysterectomy on 10/29/25 and kept my ovaries. After surgery he asked if I had ever been diagnosed with PCOS because my ovaries were covered in little cysts common with PCOS. I had not, but I was diagnosed with severe insulin resistance years ago. Anyways. I made another appointment with him to talk about HRT for peri. He told me that what is offered is the Mili bc pill and Effexor. I'm already on Effexor and it's very helpful for me, especially with hot flashes, night sweats and anxiety. He didn't do any blood work. I asked about testosterone and he said it usually isn't prescribed but he's had enough women ask about it that he's going to do more research and will let me know if he thinks it'd be something helpful. I live in rural PA, so my options in Gynos is very limited. He's 2 hours away and was the 3rd doctor I had to see to get the hysterectomy. 😐 Has anyone else done the Mili pill and Effexor and had success? How soon starting the pill did you feel any relief from other symptoms? Right now the brain fog is what's the most difficult to deal with.

PCOS is caused by insulin resistance so I’m surprised no one told you that. I was diagnosed inconclusive for PCOS in 1999 because the medical world didn’t truly understand PCOS and the insulin resistance connection till a year later. I don’t know what caused you to get the partial hysterectomy but Kaylynn prefers BHRT. I don’t know this specific BC he’s mentioned but BC almost destroyed my liver. I took it because of the PCOS and got off it in 2009 way before peri ever started (I started that late 2014)
