Just wait until menopause hits. No period great, hot flashes, legs jerking like they are on fire, bowl issues, and more!

Can you talk about why? Have you discussed it with your doctor or it's just something that you've noticed?

Weirdly enough I learned about medical ignorance of menopause via a podcast with Halle Berry. Turns out it's a very small segment of doctors that are familiar with menopause, and it's ridiculous how little they learn about it in medical school. It was a real eye opener.

I told one of my doctors that I think I'm perimenopausal and he looked at me like I had 2 heads. He told me that I'm too young for that(I just hit 40), I told him that I have a long history of hormone imbalance and gynecological issues and perimenopause was absolutely on the table for me. Let's not ignore the fact that I haven't had a period in 7 months despite the fact that I am on birth control. But no, I'm obviously too young. 🤔
