The Premature Menocast

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.

Fertility is a huge topic when it comes to POI - you could argue it is THE TOPIC for many women going through this. We don't want you to lose hope though - there are options, but emotionally, it can take it's toll. There is no "easy" option, but the best thing to do is to seek help ASAP from a fertility specialist so you can get started with what is right for you.

As promised, here are your comments we asked you to provide in episode 2. We wanted to dedicate a whole separate episode to them because the topic is too important! If you'd like to add to them, feel free to email us at prematuremenocast@gmail.com or send us messages on instagram: Nikki - @femalehealthdoc Nina - @soullaundry_womenshealth Siobhan - @mylifeonpausepoi Kate - @fertility_menopause_support The more people sharing stories like this, the more the culture will (hopefully) shift and that improves healthcare for all of us.

We're back with another episode! This time we're looking at how to treat premature ovarian insufficiency. HRT is the main way that treatment is given, and if you have a womb you need both oestrogen and progesterone. You can have this in combined pill form or through the skin - there are lots of combinations and you need to find an option that works for you. Sometimes you need to try multiple options before you get the right one.
