[AlternativeAnswers] new here questions about herbs for perimenopause

I am a 43 yo woman who is currently experiencing perimenopause. I have seen a regular Dr. and was given a clean bill of health. But I have been diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia. Currently I am taking floradix for that and blackstrap molasses.
My GYN was pushing the Mirena IUD for me. Or a D+C/uterine ablation. Which none of those are on option for me. I do not want any artificial hormones or surgeries unless it is life or death.
Because I am now spotting 4-5 days prior to my periods, and get my period for 5-6 days, I really only have about 2 to 2 1/2 weeks in between before I start spotting again.
And I also get really bad ctamping when I spot.
I would like to get some information on natural ways to regulate my hormones. I am pretty sure my progesterone drops rapidy which is why I spot for days prior to my periods.
I have looked into Natural Progesterone, but I am not sure I would like to go that route yet.

How about Red Rasberry Leaf pills? Or Wild Yam Root pills? Can you use both of these together?

I take prescription meds for now, for high blood pressure, IBS and depression. So I need to make sure nothing interacts.

I also take vitamins. A multi-vitamin, Vitamin C, D, B12, Garlic, and Omega 3-6-9.

I would love to get advice on some medicinal herbs or holistic methods for my menstrual problems.

Thank you

Cindy

Re: [AlternativeAnswers] Seeking your input please

Just something that comes to mind for me. Yes, the people that are in-the-know can look things up on their own, but there are those like me who can't take the time to do it! Maybe that is a cop out, but I know I used to be up-to-date on many things, but lately I don't even get a good nights sleep because I work late and take care a family of 6 (including myself). So I would think there are those that need direction because they can't take the time to find out for themselves.... Besides there is so much misinformation out there, that sometimes it is hard to figure out what is right and what is wrong.... I don't know if that helps, but that is my 2 cents. :)

Hi Everyone-

I hope you're all well. I wanted to ask for the input of any and all in the group. I am considering adding "Organic Living Consultation" to my business Organic Janet (as in consulting with people who want to change to a chemical-free lifestyle and/or provide them with general natural health info/referrals). I would offer this locally and on-line.

The question: is there really a market for this? The Internet (as far as, Are people searching for this or similar terms?) says no. There are some people doing it or something similar on-line but the sites most similar are very low ranked or not ranked at all, do not appear to be making $, and many seem to have folded. As well, it is harder and harder to be found on-line these days amidst all of the clutter and over-saturated categories on the Internet (of which natural living is one).

Sure I've had people approach me with a natural or chemical-free living question or two but it seems that
a) most people don't really get this (their eyes literally glaze over when I tell them what I write about) and,
b) those that do get it are perfectly capable of doing the research on their own, joining a group on-line to get answers, etc. Or again just have 1 or 2 simple questions.

Thinking about yourself, your circle of friends, family, acquaintances- both alternative and conventionally minded, as well as the state of the Internet today, what are your thoughts?

Thanks so much for your feedback.
Be well,
Janet
