The Premature Menocast

Dr Hannah Short wrote the POI info bible: The Complete Guide to POI and Early Menopause: Practical Advice and Support for Living with Early Menopause and POI [https://amzn.to/4jZUREN] It is well worth a read if you're suspecting POI or have just been diagnosed with it. Here is our interview with the lady herself - enjoy! Until next time, Dr Nikki: @femalehealthdoc Kate: @fertility_menopause_support Dr Siobhan: @mylifeonpausepoi Nina: @soullaunndry_womenshealth Don't forget to follow us! @theprematuremenocast

Hello! Excuse the * in our title for this one... we don't want any bots to stop us spreading the word on this highly important topic! GSM, or genitourinary syndrome of the menopause affects women with POI too, and it is definitely something we need to talk more about. It can also be tricky to bring POI up in a relationship conversation, especially in the early days, how do you do it? The research that Kate suggested is unfortunately now closed to new applications, but look on The Daisy Network's Site here: https://www.daisynetwork.org/news-events-and-research/research/ for further information on other trials and research. We hope you enjoy this episode! Speak soon, Nikki, Kate, Nina and Siobhan @theprematuremenocast @femalehealthdoc @fertility_menopause_support @soullaundry_womenshealth @mylifeonpausepoi

It's been aaaages since we released an episode, and this is mostly Nikki's fault (!) If you didn't know, she adopted 2 girls in the summer of 2024, so podcasting went on the back burner a bit, but she's back and we've planned what we want to say in 2025. This episode is giving you an update on where we all are and what we plan to do over the course of the next 12 months for season 2. We also invite you to plan with us and drop us any topic ideas you love to hear us cover here: prematuremenocast@gmail.com And finally, Kate is an author! Her book, Progesterone and Me is coming out soon and is available on pre-order here: https://olympiapublishers.com/book/progesterone-and-me Phew... that's enough for now. We hope you enjoy this episode and we look forward to sharing the next season with you.

In this special episode of The Premature Menocast, we bring you a recording from the recent Daisy Day event hosted by The Daisy Network, a charity supporting women with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). Unfortunately, our co-host Nikki couldn’t join us as she’s busy with her newly adopted daughters, but she sends her love and looks forward to being part of future events. During the event, hosts Nina, Kate, and Siobhan interviewed four incredible women—Priya, Emma, Lucy, and Jess—sharing their unique journeys with POI. The episode highlights diverse perspectives and experiences, from healthcare professionals to personal stories, creating a supportive and educational space for listeners worldwide. The podcast team shares how they came together after meeting at a conference, where Siobhan presented her inspiring book about her POI journey: "My Life On Pause". Recognising the need for an engaging and informative podcast dedicated entirely to POI, they created The Premature Menocast, blending personal experiences with professional insights to reach a global audience.
