Em Rusciano

You've achieved the menopause.

That's the one day.

So do you still get your period in menopause?

No, no.

You get your period in perimenopause worse.

Oh, joy.

Why not?

My ovaries took out a vendetta on me.

It was intense.

I was having to get like, I got, I was anemic because I ended up getting a Mirena.

Yeah.

Also being neurodivergent, every single contraceptive pill made me suicidal.

I've tried everything.

The Mirena's been the only thing that has worked for me that is, I don't get my period at all.

So I will sail forever.

quietly into the sunset, I'll never know when my last day is because I'll have this thing up me for five years and then hopefully I'll be done.

But no, a lot of women who are post-menopause, they want the benefits of estrogen, they want the benefits of testosterone.

So you can be on the hormone replacement therapy for the rest of your life.

But the symptoms, I mean, I do speak to a lot of older women and I had a couple of women who are way through menopause on the pod say it's great because they've truly, all the fucks have exited their body.

Yeah.
