We married late, in our early 40’s, now in mid 50’s and everything is so wonderful now. I never imagined we’d turn out this way, better than when we were younger! Hormone replacement helps plus strong relationship and faith all contribute to our good life. Thank you docs for bringing the right information ❤

As a baby boomer sex was not discussed it was made out that a man always instigated sex not the woman. I always felt that my desire was never met and said nothing. I still say nothing. My marriage broke up recently and it was said he always initiated sex and wanted me to start so I tried and then he couldn’t even complete sex. Was it me who was doing things wrong. I don’t know and now I feel like I failed. As you say if you always have chicken you don’t know any different. I have discovered much later in my life now that I have desires, wants, needs and so much more and will I get the opportunity with a new man if I get the chance. Just discovering about hormones as this was also never discussed. Now I find myself as an older woman discovering all of these things I missed out on my whole life. Hoping I get to learn more.

This is such an important conversation because women’s desire is often misunderstood or reduced to technique. Stress, mental load, hormones, connection, and feeling safe in the body all matter.

Breast cancer: My GYN says no hormones my onco says absolutely not, my Gp says let’s try. 8 months on testosterone and 8 month on glp1. Let’s start estrogen no. Let’s find out if your thyroid is working well it’s not because two pieces of the triangle are missing. What the what! Ja dropped but still not on estrogen and progesterone. I’m miserable yet again. Hugeeeeeee rage.

Average Victorian the marriage lasted 8 years. It's not normal to be with someone for so long and cohabiting in my opinion.
