You may wanna drop by KKH website or in-person to find out more (local Asian view?) They have just (this very month) started a Menopause Centre - I saw it on the Ch8 news & got interested (am experiencing unusually heavy periods & was wondering if it’s peri-menopause).

Zac's mum, please take care and rest well. My experience was the period interval was shorten to 22 to 24 days with heavy flow before. It made me so tired and frustrated at that time. Later I went to TCM and the lady doctor said my liver was heated up and couldn't control my blood so my blood released out in the period. After taking some herbs to clear liver heat, the flow became back to normal. You may consult doctor at KK hospital and see what they say first.

I had 2 times this year menses came like just after 2 wks then back to normal. Guess it is an indication of menopausal is near.


Dd has hers almost non stop…like only rest for 1wk came again. Went to see doctor and did blood tests. Doc says likely due to stress. Iron level was ok but can see her face turning pale. Luckily abt 1 or 2 wks before start written exam the bleeding seems to have stopped. Dd2 was having issues with 2 organs for several months, seen doctors, scanning etc… then start psle all symptoms seem disappeared. Didn’t know they can be so stressful. Hope it is really due to stress.

Wow! MKS, looks like u had a very stressful year! Hope yr family’s health issues hv improved and fully recovered. Health is very impt for our daily function. Eat well & sleep well.


DH’s family hv 2 highs & lately, he’s easily agitated. I told him it’s better he mindfully keep calm and collected. From my observations, when he gets worked up, he can’t make effective decisions, which leads him further frustrations. Somehow, when we get anxious, our mind gets blocked up & that makes it harder to process our thinking. Covid after effects? He chalked it to aging but I told him I’ve no high blood pressure nor high cholesterol & I don’t get to the point of not able to make effective decisions. I guess I shld not speak too soon. Nvr’theless, hope this year-end family holiday helps him unwind & recharge.

Thanks esteema…and your side too…all healthy.


Yea that’s right…keeping ourselves calm is important. I have more white hairs from earlier of the year…mainly anxious and thanks to dh. He helped me seen through the issues. You know even when our own children keep asking us not to worry it cant seem to go into our brain. So we need a 3rd person at tell us. Yup after I put the burden down I m feeling much happier and the kids too.

Sometimes we feel that we know/could handle situations better but in fact not really true. We too looking forward…last paper will be next week. Yesterday after her paper, she told me worry some qns are tough to her…only them I knew I was so calm. Told her aiya never mind la so long as tried yr best already. Seeing dd1 trying her best I told myself I m happy enough. I just want to see her have passion in what she is doing.

Oh, that’s the BEST advice I’ve heard so far from a parent to a child! Yes, no pressure on them to do well coz so long as they hv passion in what they do, they’ll excel by their own yardstick. Nobody need tell them how far they’ll go. They’ll surely stretch themselves. I’m happy to see kids coming home fr exams coz that’s when I can see their expression & give them a hug or whip up sth they like to enjoy & chill before next paper or get them off their feet to relax after arduous papers.

Coz my dd (not sure if that is normal)...she can be totally switch off. She has her own opinion since young but I feel that she keeps trying to please me so she tried to listen to me and suppressing herself. So the best I guess is to let her be herself..

I asked someone to help me identify a good study place at home coz we were in such desperate situation... the mother and daughter had a tug a war period at the end daddy says let dd choose

Actually the cashback with expiry date is quite a good design for merchants. Make people buy and buy. After I m using Lazada more, it is quite difficult to go to other platforms unless have specific items to buy. Especially feeling it when we know there will be away fm home time and it’s time to decide how much cashback to lose.


I wanted to buy more honey that is currently on good offer from Redmart but that is too much cashback to forgo later…good also can control impulse buying.

That’s how online purchases & its coupons/cash backs hook u into regular spending/overspending.

sorry for the delayed reply - i was stuck at meetings the whole am.

please watch out for anaemia if you are experiencing heavier-than-usual flows. Women are prone to it.

I am the opposite actually - I've been on various implants so I kind of have forgotten what it is like to experience the time of the month lol

My sense is that most doctors and patients in Singapore are very resistant towards any form of progesterone, estrogen etc whether it is for HRT or birth control.

Agree because it will upset the balance in our body.
