I can not live without this product. It’s the only thing that has cured my hot flashes, which were destroying my life. I could no longer go anywhere or do anything. I did not know how to dress. I was never comfortable. Now I know I will be OK, if I drink a warm beverage I will not self-destruct. I won’t be incinerated on the spot in a theater in the middle of the play. However, these don’t help You Sleep, it’s the nighttime ones that help you sleep. I take a regular Estroven in daytime, but I take the nighttime estroven in the evening before bed. They don’t recommend you take two a day but I do anyway and I feel much better for it. I sleep very well now and wake up refreshed for the first time in five years. So, i take one yellow one in the morning, and a blue one at night, and my doctors can send their bills to other people. I’m on auto delivery!
Ok, let's be serious.
Menopause is a misunderstood and very neglected time in a woman's life.
It can last 10 months or it can last 10 years. It can really last for years. It all depends on the woman.
Perimenopause can last 3 years or 10 years also, it's different for every woman, just like our periods and pms is different.
Black cohosh is an herb that has been around since the dawn of time. If your period is delayed and needs to come, black cohosh will make it come. That's why it can help with pms, it rebalances things quickly.
In perimenopause and menopause our hormones undergo so much drama that I'm betting 90% of the women reading this were given antidepressants when they went to their doctors with severe perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms.
And if the antidepressants had worked, we'd all be on here raving about them. And we wouldn't have needed Estroven.
Or anything else.
But they didn't.
And so we do need help.
Weight gain, loss of sex drive, for me personally it's the desire to see my once beloved children less frequently, lower tolerance for pain and higher tolerance for sadness, all these things contribute to loss of happiness, but add hot flash to that combination and it begins to feel like the misogyny of the bible is true, Eve doomed us all, being female is hell. Even happy and serene women who were content with their lives and choices start simmering with violence and inquiring about cruises to Alaska. For one passenger. And this lasts for years! AND NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT!!! They are just giving us more and more drugs. That's why I think we are also on high blood pressure meds. This is the cycle: you gain ten pounds in your late forties because you have been a chaffeur for 20 years. You go to the dr. and get antidepressants, you gain another 15. Now you have high blood pressure. You take a pill. You feel upset so you eat cheese, which is yummy. It makes you feel better. Now you have high cholesterol. You take another pill. Now you are a pill taker when before you were super healthy mommy making sure everyone else was healthy. And you can't sleep anymore. So you gain more weight due to high cortisol, and get a CPAP machine, which is even less sexy than it sounds. Now you are depressed when before you were not, so you probably do need the antidepressants, but intead you take vitamins for a year, convinced you can fake out the doctor. Instead you are hit with pre-diabetes or thyroid issues. Do you see where I am going ladies? It's a slippery slope. It all starts with the medical profession not understanding what it means to be female.
I had my doubts about this supplement until I went a few days without it and hot flashes returned. I'm careful not to miss a day now, and as I said, I take the energy one in the morning, and the nighttime one around 8 pm by 10 pm I am totally relaxed. I wish all good things on all of you, we are all unique and different and I'd love to hear details of the experiences of others, young and old alike, trans or not, it isn't as if this pill is going to hurt you, but you must not take if you might be pregnant. Thats important. Did I mention I'm off all other medication now? Turns out it was all menopause all along....
