Same thing happen to me…I have 3 girls and yes I wanted another one, I was looking for the boy. I feel very lucky with my 3 girls.
Yes menopause lasts for a long time….hot flashes and being tired all the time. And I can’t find anything to help me out! I guess just be patient and learn how to live with it…it takes time I know

Hey… sorry to hear about all the stuff you’re going through – I’m 25 and I can’t imagine being in your place :*(
My mom swore that hormone therapy didn’t do ANYTHING for her symptoms (she went through about 10 years of menopause!). She did swear by the OTC suppliments, you can get like 15 days worth in a box, it’s all pre-mixed for you. There are several varities on the market, so if one doesn’t work, there are others. She also said to cut the caffeine until the hot flashes pass. Other than that, it sucks. She also found herself putting on weight, so it’s worth it to try and exercise (besides, exercising ups your metabolism, which might help with the being tired…)
I know it’s not really the time to think about it, but you ARE only 25. When you’re feeling better, you could always look into adoption. I know that it’s not the same as carrying a child that’s your own but there are sooo many children out there that need a loving mommy…. and so few women that want them… Like I said, I know now isn’t the time, but later, it might be worth looking into.
Good luck

Umm.. be grateful you have kids! And be thankful you don’t have to use condoms anymore. Well just pray that you’ll get better. Everything will be better. Sorry children if you had to read this..

Since you can’t take estrogen make sure you eat a lot of dark greens veggies this will help the night sweats and hot flashes. I know what you are going through since I had a total hysterectomy when I was 30 yrs old. Also Eat or drink two servings of soy a day. Soy foods will take 4 to 6 weeks to show an effect. Eat lots of fruit these seem to be the ones that help the most plums, prunes, strawberries, apples, tomatoes, pears, grapes, grapefruit, oranges and red rasberries
Veggies. sparagus, beets, bell peppers, broccoli stems, cabbage, cauliflower,carrots,cucumbers,lettuce, onions,soybeans,sweet potatoes,turnips and Wheat. Eat more beans, Drink more juices that are 100% like Grape, carrot and orange. Last but not least make sure you get a lot of calcium in your diet so you don’t end up with bone issues.. Hope this helps.
