Lots of men out there appreciate women for who they are and not just their body.Breakfast: McDonald's breakfast including hash browns, an egg McMuffin, a banana milkshake and chocolate chip cookies We may not be in same boat but can get a sense of your total devastation and the shock it must be we all had years to get use to this and having children and husbands gets you use to it! What would you like to sort out first? I saw some websites where ladies like yourself were dealing with this and there seemed to be a lot of positive response in being able to still have children but they were all taking larger amounts of hormones and seeing specialist's. What is most important to you the look of your body or your need for a child? I don't mean to be blunt but it needs to be asked so you know what to deal with first. Whereabouts in the country do you live ? Firstly all is not lost and regrets will only make you feel worse. I have to keep reminding myself of these things.Īh don't feel alone is there any one close to you you can talk to? Maybe an organisation more tailored to your specific needs. There are girls that have a sugical menopause following hysterectomy much younger than us, and they don't retire to their rocking chairs forever. I have determined I will not be an old lady overnight just because of the menopause. The girls on here have helped tremendously with encouragement. I wish I could tell you it definitely gets better, but I'm still having days where I fall into a cycle of doubt and throw myself a big pity party and mourn the loss of who I was. Hopefully with continued improvement by midsummer I can. While I'm still not going out without makeup, I think I could almost go back to being a chapstick and mascara only kind of girl. The past several months I have had to be religious with moisturizing and haven't dared to leave the house without full makeup. I could always go with or without makeup, and slacked on moisturizing. I will say that I think the hrt has helped my facial aging a little. And now I'm being mistaken for the mother of 30+ year olds. Two years ago, often when going out with my husband who is my age, my baby, and a dear friend that was 19 at the time, people thought the 19 year old and I were a couple and the baby was ours! I don't know who they thought my husband was. I think the worst for me now is I do finally feel like me much of the time, then I get a blip and think it's all going south again, because I also feel traumatized by all this. I was (and am after 3 months on) still not good, but finally feeling some improvement overall. The hrt has made it more of a rollercoaster for me, very up and down, but after about 8 weeks on I was able to see that overall things were beginning to improve. The mental and emotional hit came practically overnight for me. I do wonder if the changes hit us faster when we go through this earlier, or if it only seems that way because we weren't expecting it. I always looked very young for my age and a few weeks ago someone thought my 32 year old best friend was my daughter. They did seem to fill out again some even before I started hrt, and on hrt they're back to normal size. I was actually happy about it as I have larger breasts and the shrinking seemed to tighten them up a little, but I did feel like I couldn't wear low cut tops anymore as the skin up high seemed like a granny's. Last summer, mine went down at least a cup. I am also experiencing the early menopause and had the deflated breasts.
