Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow.I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morningâs hush. I am the swift uplifting rush. Of quiet birds in circled flight. Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep (choral composition by Joseph Twist): In 2004, Australian composer Joseph Twist set the poem to music for a capella voices (SATB div) with slight alterations to the words.
Often in perimenopause, there is too little natural progesterone in a woman's body; it can result in symptoms such as anxiety, breast tenderness, headaches, sleeplessness, weight gain (caused by improper levels of progesterone which prevent your thyroid from functioning properly) and more.
Understanding progesterone and what it does will help women make informed choices about their reproductive health. Progesterone is one of the progesterone steroid hormones. It is secreted by the corpus luteum, a temporary endocrine gland that the female body produces after ovulation during the second half of the menstrual cycle. What does progesterone do? Progesterone prepares the endometrium for the potential of pregnancy after ovulation. It triggers the lining to thicken to accept a fertilized egg. It also prohibits the muscle contractions in the uterus that would cause the body to reject an egg. While the body is producing high levels of progesterone, the body will not ovulate.
