OK- Yesterday was a normal first day of my period. I was worried because dd didn't telll me that she used most of the pads last week.
Today- nothing, nada, zilch, zippo!
I could get used to that!
Too bad it probably won't last.
I plan on going to the store on my way home from work on Monday and stocking up on Always.

Mine ended up starting Friday night, more than a week early. But I'm glad. It stopped the PMDD symptoms after only a few hours. And I'm going to Vegas this weekend and really didn't want to have to deal with it there.

Would the masses agree that in the latter stages of peri that the majority will have to deal w/ the on again off again, several months apart, no warning type periods? It's bad enough right now dealing w/ heavy flows & residual blood several days after it should be over. I think it's got to be worst to get a long break & then it sneak up on you w/o warning. Reminds me a lot of a hurricane. It's still bad after the eye comes through w/ still more bands & can go on for several hours. The big stuff ain't over till it's over! kd

What bothers me, is that I will go months without a pd. then it will come & be real heavy or I've gone a few months without & get one & it's light. You never know what to expect. You can't even begin to predict when it might come.

Oh, and did I mention that after an ultrasound and an endometrial biopsy (they suspected cancer) that they found I have two huge fibroids?
What can they do for it?

Well, it's a wait and see right now. They think that the amount of bleeding has something to do with the fibroids. Using the pill to control the length of my cycle helps in some ways (I am no longer anemic, after being sick for weeks) but the estrogen levels may make the fibroids grow bigger. Not a good thing.
The doc wants me to eventually come off the pill and see if my cycle has resumed a normal length. If it hasn't, he'll be performing more tests to see if he'll have to do something more serious, probably surgically.
Of course, finding THAT out scared me half to death. I'll probably go ahead and stay on the pill till the end of the year.
I would ask my mom when she went through menopause, but she had a full hysterectomy in her early forties, younger than I am already. Sigh.....

Your peri/menopause may not be all that much like your mom's would've been anyway. Since I'm in perimenopause, I've had problems with hot flashes/night sweats and thinning hair. Sometimes my mother will start talking about how she never had those problems when she went through "the change," and I want to retort, "Maybe not, but you sure were a pill to live with!"

Actually, my doctor is the exact opposite. She would assume worse case scenario & want to run a bunch of tests, just to charge it on my insurance. I prefer not to tell her anything. k

This year I went for nearly 4 months without a period, and was sure it was finally over. Nope, when it came, it made up for all the months I'd missed.
