I was diagnosed with perimenopause at the age of 44. After seeing my GP about irregular periods (not having a period for 3 months), along with other symptoms: night sweats, pain in hips, anxiety, fuzzy head, low mood, forgetfulness, unable to concentrate, lack of sex drive and feeling tired being unable to sleep. Various tests were done at the time, which confirmed I was perimenopause and I was prescribed HRT by my GP.

After taking combined HRT patches and capsules for approximately 18 months with several tweaks of the dose along the way, I still didn’t feel happy with the way I felt on this. I was still struggling with symptoms of palpitations, a feeling of a fuzzy head, night sweats were reduced but still occurring and surprisingly my periods had restarted with painful heavy bleeding every month. My stomach seemed to always be bloated and weight gain was issue, despite trying to eat healthily. I started to experience migraines every month. This meant I had to take additional tablets to resolve them. Again was a new symptom since starting the HRT.

I had been told about Femina and was interested to give this a try to see if this would help and decided in August 2024 to completely come off my HRT.

After taking Femina for just 2 weeks I noticed a huge difference in myself and the majority of my symptoms had resolved. I feel far more confident and happy now with day to day life. I am sleeping through the night without any night sweats at all and waking feeling more refreshed. My anxiety has now resolved, I get very little in the way of palpitations. I am able to concentrate at work now without a feeling of tiredness and fuzzy head.

I have now been on Femina for 4 months and have not had a period since starting this. The bloating has dramatically reduced in my stomach. As a result, it is making me less conscious with regards to what I wear. Also, I have started to notice a drop in my weight. I have only experienced one bad headache since being on the Femina. That said, it is a godsend compared the migraines I experienced monthly on the HRT.

I am really happy with how I am feeling since starting Femina, and will continue to take this. The fact all ingredients are natural without having to worry about any side effects is an added bonus.

I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this product to anyone struggling with their hormones or if diagnosed with perimenopause.
