Periods disappearing can leave you thinking, “Is this normal? Should I be worried?” And paraphrasing the words of Raye “Where the hell has it gone?” There’s a lot of confusion around not having periods, particularly when contraception, stress, exercise and life in general can all muddy the waters.In this episode, we’re talking amenorrhoea: when periods stop, or never start in the first place. Because sometimes a missing period is just that, but sometimes it’s your body waving a little flag that something else needs attention. And it can have implications far beyond whether you’re bleeding each month.There are a lot of things we’ve been told about periods that simply aren’t true, so we’re getting into some of the questions you might have wondered about yourself. Do you actually need a period every month? Can you get pregnant without one? And when should you really be concerned? Have a listen and let’s talk about it.This episode has been sponsored by IBSA Pharma Ltd. They had no control or influence on the content.
Our skin can feel like it has a mind of its own, especially when our hormones are changing. From teenage acne to pregnancy, contraception and the changes of perimenopause and menopause, our skin can tell us a lot about what’s happening beneath the surface.In this episode, we’re joined by the brilliant Dr Doireann O’Leary, GP, women’s health advocate, author and broadcaster, for an honest conversation about the relationship between hormones and skin. We talk about what’s normal, when skin changes might be telling us something more, and how to avoid getting lost in the endless noise of the skincare industry.We also get into the changes nobody warns you about, including vaginal and vulval symptoms, and why vaginal oestrogen may be worth knowing about.Because our hormones don’t just affect our periods. They can affect our skin too, and sometimes it’s nice to know you’re not imagining it. So, grab a cuppa and come and talk skin with us.*Update: As mentioned in the episode, it’s women aged 50 and over who haven’t had a period for 12 months who can now buy vaginal oestrogen over the counter in the UK.
If you thought periods were firmly in the past, seeing blood again can be confusing, unexpected and, for many, frightening. Postmenopausal bleeding is something thousands of women experience, yet it’s often surrounded by uncertainty, mixed messages and a lot of unanswered questions.In this episode, we explore why postmenopausal bleeding should always be taken seriously, what happens if you seek medical advice, and why getting checked doesn't automatically mean something is wrong. Most importantly, we want to offer reassurance. While bleeding after menopause should never be ignored, the cause is often not what people fear.This is an honest, practical conversation designed to help you feel more informed, less anxious and better equipped to know what to do if it happens to you. If you've ever wondered, "Why am I bleeding again?", this episode is for you.
We’re back for Season 4, and what better way to kick things off than with the wonderful Anna Cooper returning to Between 2 Ovaries for the next chapter of her story.Anna is a passionate women’s health advocate whose honesty about living with endometriosis has helped countless people feel seen, heard and understood. Since we last spoke, her journey has continued to evolve, bringing new challenges, major surgery, and important conversations about life with chronic illness.In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Anna shares more of her lived experience, the realities of navigating complex health conditions, and why speaking openly about women’s health matters. Her resilience, warmth and determination shine through every part of this conversation.Whether you’re living with endometriosis, supporting someone who is, or simply looking for an honest and inspiring story, we’d love you to join us for the start of a brand-new season.Links:https://menstrualhealthproject.org.uk/
When something doesn’t feel right in your body, how long do you keep pushing before someone finally listens?In this episode, we sit down with women’s health advocate Anna Cooper, who shares the reality of living with endometriosis in a way that’s raw, honest, and deeply human. From the early signs to the moments that changed everything, Anna opens up about what it’s like to navigate a system that doesn’t always hear you, and the strength it takes to keep going anyway.This conversation matters because so many women will recognise pieces of themselves in her story. It’s not about perfect answers, but about feeling seen, understood, and a little less alone.If you’ve ever questioned your symptoms or felt dismissed, this one is for you.
If you’ve ever been told you have an ovarian cyst, or had one picked up unexpectedly on a scan, you’ll know how quickly the mind can jump to worst-case scenarios. But how much of that fear is actually necessary, and how much is just misunderstanding?In this episode, we’re unpacking ovarian cysts, from what they actually are and why they’re so commonly found, to when they need any further investigation or treatment (and when they really don’t). We also tackle the myths and assumptions that tend to add to confusion, from fears around fertility to what symptoms actually mean in reality, all in our usual easy-to-understand, no-nonsense way.This is a conversation designed to bring clarity to anyone who suspects they may have an ovarian cyst, to those who’ve already been diagnosed, and to anyone who’s simply heard the term and wants to understand it properly.If you want the ins and outs without the panic (knowledge is power people), this one’s worth a listen.
What does it really look like to move your body through every stage of life, when things aren’t neat, linear, or easy? In this episode, we’re joined by the brilliant Jasmin Paris MBE, record-breaking ultra-runner, mum of three, and the first woman to complete one of the toughest endurance races in the world. But this isn’t just about performance, it’s about reality.We talk about the messy middle of women’s health and exercise, from puberty to pregnancy and beyond, and the pressure to “get it right” when your body is constantly changing. Jasmin brings a rare kind of honesty, cutting through myths and expectations with lived experience that feels both grounding and quietly powerful.If you’ve ever questioned what movement should look like for you, this one might shift something.
When your period starts to take over your life, it’s easy to wonder if you’re just expected to put up with it. For so many, heavy bleeding is brushed off as “one of those things” but the reality can feel exhausting, isolating and quietly overwhelming.In this episode, we open up an honest conversation about what it really feels like when your cycle stops being manageable, and why so many are left questioning what’s normal. This isn’t about numbers or neat definitions, it’s about lived experience, frustration, and the quiet ways it can impact your day to day life.It matters because too many people are silently adjusting around something they’ve been told to tolerate. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, unsure, or just fed up, this one is for you.Links:https://www.wearwhiteagain.co.uk/
