And everything you’re saying I’m experiencing. My oxytocin is nearly non-existent and it’s been making me feel bad about wanting to rush the kids off to college as soon as I can so I can start living my life!!! I don’t know what it feels like to want to be a mom these days. It’s been more transparent since my husband passed away. I’m just counting the days till I get the nest back all to myself.

I'd love to hear that BEFORE having a child. So I could warn my spouse (and myself) about declining sex drive (non-existent for 2 years, no menstruation, no ovulation, zero!). He was jealous of OUR baby son, and thought I just used him to get pregnant. On top of that, our son happens to have multiple health and developmental issues, so needs a lot of attention even at 8 yrs old. But he's doing great and have a bright future ahead. Not so much about my relationship with his father, he was in rage! Even though I truly loved him, I couldn't be the woman he knew before pregnancy and our paths divided. Now I'm with someone else, who appreciate me as a person, not for sexual purposes.

Validates the way I have been feeling. HRT question, The UK uses the NICE guidelines and say over age 45 with symptoms and even if still having a period than HRT is the recommendation. Here in the USA its different, and my docs will not give HRT in late 40's if still getting a period and rather give birth control pill and will do HRT once a full year without a cycle. I understand the pill has hormones high enough to turn off the brain ovary connection but HRT augments what the body is doing, is there any danger if I take HRT of my estrogen levels getting abnormally high?

As the wife of an addict who has done nothing to correct his behavior but only changed substances I have zero tolerance for his disrespectful crap. When he gets mean and tells me how difficult I am I'm no longer patient enough to be nice and understanding and its not worth the energy to get angry so I'm using extreme sarcasm agreeing with every mean thing he says where in reality I work really hard to treat him right and when he's frequently careless in my environment with my things I thank him for giving me more work to do and when he really becomes impossible I thank him for caring so much about my cortisol function. I have used this approach a few minutes at a.time but now it has now become my attitude. He really hates it and it works he would prefer I get angry If we weren't raising this much needed precious puppy together I could easily go weeks without dealing with him. I know it's depleted brain chemistry so he blames my menopausal brain chemistry the difference is I didn't cause this within myself and I'm doing my best to stay on track with nutrition activities chocolate and a puppy. That's the thanks I get for acknowledging my physical changes and coming to my precious darling with honesty.

I bent over backwards to make people happy. I stink enjoy doing many things for my family but not like I use to.... I am so anti-social now. I use to want to go out and do things and stay busy and being out and about. Now between the virus and post menopause, I just dont like being out and about anymore. People irritate me. Lol. And I just told my husband that I am not all that excited that it is Thanksgiving this week and Christmas is coming up. Every year I put up less and less decorations.

But I loved children and being around them until my 30's and first years of being a mom. Still I want to be a good mom, to raise happy, healthy and independent young man. Everyone said "don't have kids early" but I think it's different for different people, I was a very "grown up" teenager

Thank you, my dear. I'm glad you enjoyed this.

I've become an extreme introvert. I've thrown my hands up in the air and said I don't give a rats ass. Nothing people tell me at work can be trusted, especially our management. I'd rather be left on a private island with the amenities I need. I'd be happiest alone with my cats, and other critters, than be around majority of humanity... I used to care and fight for what was right/or needed. Now, I couldn't care. Only other place where I feel alive is as a passenger on a cruise ship where I am appreciated and I can appreciate the crew and staff back.

You are not alone. Many women express similar sentiments.

Hello Friend! Thanks to (listening since your first video!) you I'm on HRT (Climara Pro) for a year now, and don't think I ever want to go off it! My Dr. just changed me to the Vivelle Dot (.05) and Premetrium (100 mg.). She said this natural progesterone has a slightly lower chance for breast cancer. I'm checking this out in your book, and I think there's something in there about it, but I can't find it. I wanted to check in with you and see if you had any comments or advice about this switch! XOXO

Natural progesterone carries a very slightly lower risk for breast cancer, but does not do as good a job at preventing uterine cancer. You see? Everything is about trade-offs. The very reason you need progesterone is tp prevent uterine cancer. So, do you use a sub-optimal form of progesterone to perform the very function that constitutes the only reason you're taking it?

@@MenopauseTaylor Thanks for the response! Is the uterine cancer risk also slight? I've tried to find out more about this, but I'm not having any luck. My Dr. says there is no increased risk of uterine cancer. I'm torn because breast cancer is easier to detect and easier to treat, but the Vivelle Dot/Premetrium has me sleeping amazing (this is most important), is cheaper and the patch is much smaller (obviously less important).

This is the kind of thing that requires a one-on-one consultation. We need to take many different factors into account and tailor them all TO YOU. I can't do that here in a comment box. So, I urge you to schedule a consultation. It's the only way to really ensure that you understand this fully and do the best thing for your personal situation. I'm in the business of educating you about everything you need to know and do in order to get exactly what you want for managing your menopause your way. So, here's how a consultation works: 1) You would schedule a one-on-one consultation at my website, MenopauseTaylor.ME, choosing a time that is convenient for you. I do consultations on Skype, FaceTime. Facebook Messenger, What’s App, and the phone. 2) I would confirm that you are scheduled for the stated time, and invite you to send me as much information about yourself as you please. You can make it brimming with details and tell me about your reproductive life, any gynecologic problems you've had, your symptoms of peri-menopause, and your symptoms of post-menopause. You can include all your fears, concerns, and goals for your menopause management. You may also send me any labs, mammogram results, bone density results, etc. that you would like me to include in designing your protocol. For instance, if you want to adhere to a certain category of management options (herbs or diet & lifestyle, or whatever), you should tell me that. I would need all these things at least 1 week before your consultation with me. 3) I'll get busy creating a document that gives you all the education you need to understand absolutely everything, points put the pros and cons of each option, and tailors it all to YOU using the information you have provided. The document will be loooooong. Most are over 30 pages. 4) I will send you the document by email 48 hours before your consultation. You will benefit greatly by reading it in advance. Light bulbs will go off like crazy, and if you're like most women, you'll feel that you've already gotten your money's worth. 5) During your consultation, we will review the document and address any issues you want to fine tune everything and determine your best options. I'll tell you exactly how to find the right kind of professional, how to have the conversation in order to get what you want, and the nuances of things like guidelines and insurance. I leave nothing unaddressed. 6) You will go to a professional of your choosing in order to get the actual hormones or whatever you choose to use. 7) After the first consultation, I'll hold your hand (forever if you want me to). In other words, you'll be able to schedule mini-consultations (15-minute or 30-minute, in addition to full consultations) whenever you need to. I'll keep records of your situation. Most women schedule mini-consultation whenever they go to the doctor and don't understand what he or she said, or why. I translate. I make sense of everything. Most schedule mini-consultation whenever they have a new test and they want me to explain the results. And all schedule mini-consultation whenever their situation changes and they need to re-weigh and balance their options. The time you spend with me will make everything about working with any other professional so easy. And they will love the fact that you have an actual education rather than a bunch of misconceptions that you got form the Internet. If your initial hormone regimen is not right, you'll want to consult with me before going to your doctor. I can prepare you for what to expect and what to request. So, that's my role. And nobody else on earth does this kind of thing but me. So, I hope you schedule a consultation and let me hold your hand (figuratively). I hope to meet you soon!

Oxytocin surging level is responsible for mother’s doing everything for their kids during the premenopausal period leaving your man aside ...:)

Oh it’s good news Barbie again 😏

I eat oxytocin I love red wine and dark chocolate focused on health I always have some purple plant to eat and I don't interact with humans before my 1st cup of strong starter fluid ☕ however it all seems to go to my deserving aging beagle we live in a tiny village and last month I moved from the 8×8 house my husband uses to a smaller tiny house in the village dedicated as an office for the company I work for because I was doing all the work and being nice as he was falling farther into addiction and being impossible I told him get off the shit he hasn't touched it since I moved from his house but I'm still waiting for his brain chemistry to restore knowing it will take several months We were hanging out and I offered my best treats no junk food but healthy treats and he started that classic addict mean and disrespectful behavior I said please leave he returned with the same attitude a few minutes later I said I'm not doing this please leave talk to me when you have adequate brain chemistry I don't need the cortisol increase I'm enjoying my time much more now with just my dog.I love my husband I'm committed for life but he will treat me right or we're not hanging out right now and I'm cool with this arrangement even if he's not thankfully I'm right next to the original cofounder my supervisor and good friend I'm also the primary T shirt maker for the company so I spend much time in this office space anyway

Another excellent video! While I’d like to have a bottle stashed full of oxytocin, I can also live happily with being able to speak out more. When your personality is one of a “nice girl”, it’s pretty shocking to husband and family when you no longer tolerate what you once did. It feels good to focus on what makes me content....love love you, Dr. Barbie. Xoxo💜

Ok, how do you explain having great sexual interest and feeling "Smitten" at age 57, but being a Celibate Christian, denying him anything of me almost three years now of business contact! I think about him all the time, but make no moves of any kind. Maybe I'm an "Outlier" as I WANT HIM FOR ME. OR Someone Else I Am Attracted To. I still want friends and company. 😋 P.S. He is not a Christian, so he is forbidden. I am not interested in anyone else...so far. By the way I am almost Sixty-one years old now!
