Hi all. 37F here. Chronic migraineur. I’ve been getting migraines since I am 11 years old. Had 6-8 my whole life until age 30. Took Advil 6-8x month not knowing better. Took a 6 month break and tried other meds (sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t). All in all, after going on Botox & Nurtec I take Advil anywhere from 1-4x month depending on migraine frequency and if other meds help. I try to do Tylenol, Ubrelvy, Nurtec whenever I can. However, sometimes nothing else works. I worry about kidney disease in the future but I have to admit…when I’m in pain…I don’t care that much in the moment to not take it. Anyone else have this problem? Thoughts? Advice?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all. I’m a 36F. I was diagnosed with “impending” POF/POI (primary ovarian insufficiency) about 4 years ago. My FSH has gone as high as 20. My AMH was 0.35. My estrogen was a 12 and considered slightly low. Testosterone was a 2! My symptoms are the following:

1. Weight gain
2. Brittle hair
3. MID DAY ENERGY CRASHES WHERE I MUST NAP
4. Night sweats
5. MAJOR HEAT INTOLERANCE - I sweat so easily and it is just horrible
6. Hot flashes
7. DOR
8. Miscarried my daughter (my genetic deletion is what caused POI and therefore she was conceived with it).

I have tried the following:

1. BCP (Haley)
2. isibloom BCP
3. Testosterone pellets
4. Estradiol patches
5. Estradiol pills
6. Bonafide (HAS SLIGHTLY HELPED W HOT FLASHES)
7. Random underarm sweating (this has actually stopped, oddly)

Nothing and I mean NOTHING has helped. 1) Is this normal for POI? The capitalized symptoms are by far the worst. 2) Anything else I can do for meds? Ugh. Idk why nothing works.

Ty in advance

Hi all. My son is due by surrogacy in Oct. We are nervous as is and mourning our freedom and quiet. However, we’re also Grateful and Excited! Everyone at a family party last night said “Oh just wait. Enjoy your independence now because it’ll be gone.”, “Don’t have 2 under 2.”, “Enjoy your freedom while you can because this is hard.”

I felt like crying. My thoughts were 1) no shit, 2) maybe don’t say this to a mom who’s gone through infertility for 4 years (miscarried my daughter 3.5 years ago) and is finally having her son. 3) I know it’s hard. I know I won’t have much time to myself. But what about all the good….?

This really bothered me. Anyone else? Ty.

Hi. My son is due in Oct by surrogacy. We had many failed IVF egg retrievals and finally got an egg donor and surrogate. I’m very grateful to be a mom and kiss his cutie pie cheeks. But I can’t say i’m not anxious about less free time, more to do and NO SLEEP. I have very bad chronic migraine which is somewhat managed now. Lack of sleep will not help me medically, let alone in any other way. I totally know this is part of the deal. However, any tips? I’m nervous. Ty in advance.

Hi all. I’m 36F with POI (primary ovarian insufficiency) causing symptoms such as HEAT INTOLERANCE (sweating soooo easily), hot flashes, night sweats and FATIGUE. Does anyone have overwhelming fatigue mid day where you have to fight to keep your eyes open? I WFH on screen and I get so tired mid day that I need a 30-45 min nap to reset. If I’m mobile more during the day it is less likely to occur. However, my son is due in Oct and I’m concerned about this. No HRT has helped yet.
