saddle issue/perimenopause?

[latelatebloomer]

Hi, everyone - I'm posting this on the open thread* in hopes of getting the most eyes and input ASAP. Suddenly I'm having saddle issues - pressure in the front and soreness after- no matter how I adjust my seat, and I think my TE butterfly, while second hand, would have plenty of life in her yet. I'm 48 and in perimenopause, and I'm wondering if it could be a decrease in my tissues' padding? Anyone else deal with this? I have also had some more weight loss in the past few months, could that change things that much? Looking in the Terry catalog, the Falcon is recommended for pressure "fore and aft." Has that helped anyone else?

thanks a bunch, me (& the DH)
