Hi I'm Jean from TX. I went into early menopause at 47-48. Totally no period for over a year. Insomnia began, anxiety, fatigue, depression some hot flashes but not bad. The insomnia is what got me wondering what the heck! Now is it just time to get old. I wasn't having that. Had read and listened to several Suzanne Somers CDs and such and then happened on a friend that was getting the bio implants and loved her doctor. So off I went. I have all my plumbing and had 2 natural birth boys at age 26 and 30. Got the implants somewhere around age 50. I'm 53 now. All I know is I 'think' I feel alot better. More energy, sex crave like never before even when younger, and sleeping for the most part pretty good. Problem now though the past 8 months or so... the bleeding. The first year or two went off without a hitch. Take 200mg of Progesterone the first 10 days of the month or until I see a good blood spot. But now the bleeding is getting to be a problem. Each month appears a bit different and doc said it will take some time to get it regulated. I'm hopeful he'll get if figured out. I really don't want any surgery and have heard the abulation (however you spell that) isn't good for you. So I'm living with the excess bleeding. Doesn't usually bother me except at night and 'if' I have a busy day away from home with worries about my 'overflow' messing up my clothes! I'm just 53 and not sure what to do. I certainly want to stay strong and young as long as possible. I've watched my Mom and Aunt age awful with horrible dementia and aging bones. I am a total believer its not the long life its the quality of it. I'm praying that this gets under control and nothing serious happens. The bleeding lasts now about 10 days a month. Sometimes more, some lighter days then some flooding days. I'm on a good iron supplement and Vitamin D. Had a total blood work up and pap last month and all came out A-OK. If the bleeding keeps up I may get a sonogram to double check for fibroids. It appears everyone is different. But I do believe the therapy works best for those with hysterectomies. Oh yes.. also my doctor started with Sotto Pelle but now uses I guess a generic type implant. I've questioned him on this and he promised me there were no differences. Certainly hope that is correct. We're all here for a short time, I used to not believe in any of this sort of thing I'm very anti-doctor and anti-meds. But guess modern medicine of any kind isn't 'natural', and just want to feel good in mind, body, and spirit. Blessing to everyone! and good luck.
