I am so glad you finally found a doctor who listened to you and took your complaints seriously, even though it took a "reason" (ie. wanting to get pregnant). I am in perimenopause and the lack of knowledge and even curiosity about perimenopausal symptoms from numerous doctors I've seen is astounding. It often feels like a shrug of the shoulders and "Women are so mysterious! Who knows?" attitude. Geez, I dunno, maybe try actually funding research on women's health? Sigh. I recommend subscribing (for free) to Dr. Jen Gunter's Substack newsletter. She is an incredible doctor who has taken to explaining the realities about all aspects of women's gynecological health issues in a research-based way. I've learned a lot from her. She famously took to the internet to lambast Gwyneth Paltrow's "jade vagina eggs" a few years ago so she's solid!
