menopause: the journey of a million eggs

I want you to know that you are seen, and recognized, and that every woman goes on this journey in one way or another. Hypnotherapy can support you whether you use HRT (hormone replacement therapy) or cannot or choose not to. Below I have put some key facts about menopause, but there is so much more. Please schedule a Zoom with me to discuss in greater detail.

  • Menopause is journey, guided by a symphony of hormones, that goes a little jazz. 

  • At 5 months in utero, it begins, with 1-2M eggs

  • At 8-10, our brain sends the message to ovaries to start rehearsing

  • At menstruation, the symphony of hormones begins

  • Every month, 11,000 eggs journey out, for about the next 35 years

  • Finally, the ovaries retire

  • Post menopause encompasses up to 1/3 of a woman’s life
