Get to know Jane
My name is Jane, and I am thrilled to be joining the Menopause Care team. Fifteen years ago, at the age of 44, I had surgery to remove one of my ovaries, leaving the remaining one non-functional. For six challenging years, I struggled with severe symptoms, only to be prescribed antidepressants and the mini pill as treatment. It wasn’t until I took control of my own health - through extensive research and persistence - that I finally recognised my symptoms as perimenopause, a realisation that came just before reaching a critical low point.
This personal journey ignited my passion for raising awareness and supporting others. I went on to create several social media support groups, providing a space for women to connect, share experiences, and seek guidance. The rapid growth of these communities has enabled me to support and empower countless women daily, helping them access the care they need to manage their symptoms effectively.

The Menopause & HRT Discussion Group on Facebook was created more than a decade ago, inspired by my personal struggles following surgery to remove one of my ovaries, which left the remaining ovary non-functional. This event marked the onset of severe symptoms, and the impact on both my physical and mental health was profound. At the time, I found myself navigating this challenging period without adequate support or guidance, as resources for women going through perimenopause and menopause were limited. This gap in available support led me to create the group, with the goal of offering a space where women could come together, share their experiences, and find the guidance I had long searched for.
