I have been in letrozole before due to my pcos and estrogen dominance. Women have such a complicated symphony of hormones where men’s are just a boring 24 hour rise and fall. Glad you are finding support in acupuncture!!! I just came from a session it felt great 🧘🏼‍♀️

I know! We really do have it hard, don’t we? It has been such an odd experience getting my hormones back and having such different changes in mood throughout the month. I also finally got my period back. What was initially elation turned very quickly into remembering how shit periods are ha ha

And yes, YAY to acupuncture!

You are right. I went into menopause knowing nothing and having never been told what to expect. I am still trying to work it all out. And yes, the side effects suck. Multiply that by 1000 when you are in your early 30s, it’s not the natural course of your life, is accelerated and you have zero oestrogen. I can’t even imagine it. Thank you for getting over the embarrassment and using your voice to speak this out loud. This is an important post and I am certain many other young women will be grateful for it.
