@lucy.f I'd be interested to know what your experience was also as I'm booked to go in June and haven't come across any of that information

@cat my GP suggested restavit which did nothing. I've even tried valium out of desperation and nothing serious me walking up

I almost wish I could take fatigue over the lingering effects I have from COVID. Two months along and my nervous system is still in overdrive. I fall asleep, only to wake up at 2-3am with my stomach in knots. Some nights I've found as soon as I begin to drift off, my body jolts awake over and over in a constant state of fight or flight until my nerves are completely wired by morning. It's mentally exhausting and I can't see an end in sight. No one can tell me when or if any of this will improve. And yet, I'm still one of the "lucky" ones.

Not gonna lie, I don't have a problem with this. I don't like handling tampons and don't like seeing them in the bin either. I always cover mine up. And a glove would be great to protect my hand from the crime scene that is created by a menstrual cup.

@mamamia-user-893622181 I've definitely found a difference... I feel calmer, less sluggish and my period is far less heavy than it was before and doesn't last for 7 days, more like 4. But I've only had 2 full cycles so that may change. I too, hope everything settles.

I actually went off the pill six weeks ago and started on natural hormone supplements (HH) to improve my overall health, including gut issues and brain fog. I was told the pill completely messes up my hormones and needed to go off it to fix this. I've found my anxiety has improved, and it's easier to lose weight (although my diet and exercise has improved too). But my sleep is suffering and my psoriasis is terrible! It's so hard to know if I'm better off or on the pill.

@mamamia-user-893622181 I went off the pill six weeks ago and I've just had this same issue start! I never considered that could be the cause!
