Hi group
I'm 53 still regular every month
. Have taken Evening Primrose oil for 15yrs plus due to breast tenderness and PMS ,when I changed my milk to Soya milk my sore boobs came back ! So stopped using it . Have recently changed to Starflower oil as it contains more GLA ...so far so good . I dont have any hot flushes and have read EPO can help with them . I also believe it's been beneficial to my skin ( most people think I'm in my early 40's
) Happy to keep taken it but wondered if its prolonging the start of my menopause ? I have no sweats or other signs apart from the last few months I've noticed aching hips and lower back pain but not all the time. The other day the pain was intense and higher up my back and period followed next day . I've always suffered with Mittelschmerz ( Ovulation Pain) would double up with dull pain for about half a day until egg released and pain disappear so I wonder if this back pain is linked. Off to Dr's soon to get it checked
