Importance of Birth Control in Perimenopause

[sheilaemadian]

This is all good information. I am 38 and was put on nuva ring. At 37 I felt in a funk and started having GI issues similar to IBS, extreme cravings, then nausea issues started happening regularly when I was ovulation and right before the period. The nausea became so severe and debilitating that I could no longer work or take care of my kids or function at all. It was at first just 2-5 brutal days through the cycle so I dealt with it, but I started losing a lot of weight and became skeletal. I was very scared and thought I would have to check into a hospital and need a feeding tube. I have had insomnia as well, and I was having severe anxiety and panic attacks and heart palpitations through this moment of total chaos of fluctuations and hormonal imbalance. I basically developed severe pms which I never had before, but I never imagined could I be in perimenopause beginning already?! It seemed like clockwork it all began with the decline of fertility at 37 and by 38, I was full blown nauseated the whole cycle pretty much! I could not imagine living that way with chronic nausea. I am traumatized by it all. I went from 90 lbs to 70 lbs. I felt totally helpless, and birth control has saved me!! The adjustment has been rough, but I am doing so much better. I plan to be on it til I am in menopause.

I came off BC at 43 and the side effects were shocking. Half of my hair fell out and I aged about 10 years overnight.

I LOVE this Doctor!! His explanation was very clear and very helpful. I have a question and I hope you can understand me, since my first language is Spanish. I am very confused about estrogen. I am perimenopausal and I am having all the bad symptoms such as; hot flashes, mood changes, retention of water, gain weight, can't concentrate, always tired, if I am having all these symptoms from low estrogen, why my ginecólogy put me on a low dose? Do low estrogen on a birth control will help me with all these symptoms? I don't want to keep gaining weight cuz that's making more depressed. My Testosterone is also very low so he prescribed me a compound cream. He also recommended me the Auto else 24 Fe 1/20. I don't know what to do! What do you think about this birt control? Please help!!🙏🏻❤️
