I tried several different types of HRT and none of them agreed with me - made it worse in fact, but then after several gynae ops over the last few years, the pill stopped suiting me too :roll: Just one of those things I guess

 

bad luck Claret,

The placenta should come out after you've given birth or you're in trouble!! infections etc. They are then frozen and go to factories to make face creams- I wont name it in case of getting forum into trouble, So next time you slap on your night cream - just think it was once part of a placenta :D . For those preggie ladies - apparently you can fry it and eat with onions a good source of iron - bit like liver. :roll: Yummy. No I'm not pregnant just a deranged pre menopausal woman of 47 watching her sanity flow away. Remember the woman in attic in jane Eyre - well thats me :twisted::twisted::twisted: Cackle cackle - sorry i also have a sick sense of humour - comes of having worked in NHS for yrs and seeing the seedier side of life :)

 

Think I see me in this too. I'm 48 and just waking up to the idea that I might just be perimenopausal :(:oops:

 

On a happier note I think this is my 500th post and I now become a cleverer chicken? :)

Nah, I'm perfect - it's just that everybody seems to keep away from me and I haven't a clue why! :angel:

Me too - I've told OH that there is a male hormonal fluctuation that causes all the males in the house to become extremely irritating once a month :D

 

OMG! That's what happens in my house too! :wink::lol::lol::lol:

I can't see how the drug to help deliver the placenta can stay in your system......or we'd all be going around with permanently contracting uteri :shock: .......and all the placenta's where I worked were incinerated (unless someone wanted to take it home and bury it in the garden).

I've managed to escape any pre/peri menopausal symptoms so far.....still regular as clockwork. I do turn into a hysterical psychopath for a week though.....I clean my house and everything :roll: ....but that's always been the case and hasn't changed as I've got older.

My daughters are 18, 16 and 9........can you imagine? :lol:

Yes I can! My daughter and I were in tune with each other and still are even though she's living in France - quite how thats worked out I don't know. Can't wait for her to come back so the housefull of men can share in our misery again. :wink::D

I have been willing my body to finish up with these monthly bouts ever since I started them! Now I get the am I, aren't I sessions. Then the tantalising couple of days, then a break and then another few days. Arghhhhhhh! Just STOP IT AT ONCE! I think I am in for an extended bout next month, when it decides to annoy me again. Is it any wonder we get ratty? I'd like to see OH manage with them - that's if he doesn't faint first! :D

DD and I are usually around the same time - I gather it's an animal type of being in season thing. Girls working together in offices are often in sync too.

As for the beauty product - yes, Mum used Oil of Ulay for years until she found out what it contained. When DS was born, the placenta's were sent there - I gather the name has changed, but not so sure about Basingstoke hospital where DD was born.

Funny u should sayn that as me and my friend were always in synch with each other with the PMT and other ladies probs. Now we seem to have gone all over the place. I wonder if women give off vibes and they al come out in sympathy. Funny lot arent we?

i dont know - a midwife told me that and showed me the freezer of frozen placentas - this was in the 1980's so I havent a clue. For all i know it couldv'e been the hospital frozen meat storage freezer. At that stage in training I wouldnt know a placenta from a lambs liver :shock: This is why midwifery never appealed to me - bit too messy :?

When I worked in midwifery, the placentas were all stored in a big freezer, but only as temporary storage, then they all went off to be incinerated. And all cosmetics these days have to list exactly what is in them, sohopefully no nasty hidden surprises! :?

 

On another note, reading all these threads about 'women's problems' has prompted me to see my GP. It's surprising what you put up with when you think it is just normal for you. But I've now got both tranexamic acid and ponstan to take next time I'm on, and am going for further tests to see what the underlying cause may be. Thanks for all your honesty Omletteers! 8)

Any lipstick does it to me - although I haven't tried organic ones yet. I tend to get a slightly darker colour, put it on and then wipe off immediately so that the staining is there. Nowadays I only use it occasionally - not much need for it in the garden - apart from Vaseline to stop those chapped lippies! I just add it to the odd things that are happening to my body as I age.

Interestingly though, in mum's paper there was a little article on PMT saying that 10 days before that happy event some women go on a shopping spree and impulse buy things like shoes etc that they never end up wearing. I shall monitor my little Emelda Marcos closely the next time she comes home with yet another pair! :)

Saw Gp today I have fibroids and an irregular area in my womb which needs investigation and am awaiting a bladder repair so am hoping they can sort the whole lot out whilst I'm "under". I told her about PMT but she didnt seem worried re that so I'm on my own their will plod oon with starflower oil and carbs and exercise. I hope it gets sorted soon as feel drained. Joys of being a girl eh? :)

I turn into a raging, irrational female with chronic "dropsy" disease at that time, & it's getting worse :(

If it happened to men imagine what life would be like- no work would ever get done! We women just get on with it, & I'm not standing for it any more.

 

I'm taking myself off to the GP this afternoon, as I think I'm anaemic again, I'm feeling really low & tired, & my mooncup confirms I have very heavy periods.

I did exactly that and was amazed at how rapidly things have moved. In the last 3 months, I've had 2 ultrasound scans, a prescription for transexamic acid, a biopsy, a smear test and on Monday a hysteroscopy.

 

Not the best way I can think of to spend an afternoon, but it confirmed that everything is normal and I am now trialling a Mirena IUD to see if it will help reduce my blood loss and my PMT (I get bloated, tearful, clumsy and have numbness and loss of sensation in my fingers). If it doesn't work for me, I will likely be a candidate for a hysterectomy.

 

This forum was what pushed me into going in the first place - openness and honesty made me realise I wasn't the only one. Get to your GPs ladies!
