Title: Fluctuations or low Oestrogen?
Post by: Vicky81 on November 12, 2022, 09:17:00 AM

Hi all
Hope you are all well?

Could I ask...is fatigue (even after a good sleep)
Low oestrogen or hormone fluctuations?
I'm in perimenopause and taking the combined pill which has been good,, taken away yhe heavy head feel and most of the physical anxiety feel (but not all and still feeling flat in mood)

But now and again and especially the last 3 days I'm so so tired ....my eyes are dropping in the mornings.

Hi Vicky

I think fatigue is just a common problem with hormones. I go through phases but they pass. I’m really finding ashwaganda supplement helpful.

I get fatigue a lot and there does not seem to be any trigger.
