It's day 58!

24 years ago

I'm new here today, & thought I'd ask before the 15th.

This is day 58, since my last period, previously I had only two (or was it three?) other times that I went 50 days, and both those times I was ready to Blow!! Last Monday I hated all the men at work, & needed to keep a low key to avoid me freaking out. Horrible Hormones!! (& hemmorhoids-ooh!)

I'll be 45 in July. I laughed at Sultana's post "just shoot

me", but I can also associate with alot of her points.

Is this normal to have one period every 2 months? I have an app't w/the Gyn end of March, I really don't want to go any

sooner. Thanks all for any tips.

It's indicative of peri-menopause, I would say, rather than describe it as "normal". You are probably not ovulating every month, which is bound to happen sooner or later. Some women stop ovulating in their 40's, others in their 50's. Some even in their 30's.

The problem is, of course, that lack of ovulation causes a hormonal imbalance, which is evidenced by the symptoms you described. Many women find relief by using the natural progesterone cream from the health store.

Perimenopause *is* normal. As is menopause, just as menstruation and pregnancy are normal. There's no need to "treat" perimenopause. There is certainly no need to spend your hard-earned money on a scam like progesterone cream.

Having a day to "accomplish nothing" can be quite an accomplishment! Enjoy your day. I've been flat-on-my-back (or rather, upright-in-the-recliner, gasping-for-breath) sick since Feb. 12. Today is the first day I've felt like there is hope! I was actually hungry; my ribs are not hurting so much, and I can breath. Life is good. Three bouts of antibiotics, some steroids, which I hate to take, and various breathing aids have had very little effect on this terrible bug until now. I'm accomplishing nothing, either; except checking our the KT and watching the birds at the feeders.

High on (off) the hog We often hear this salty expression used to refer to someone who has achieved a full, prosperous life. “Old Tom surely is living high on the hog these days.” The expression is quite literally accurate, since you to go pretty high on the hog to get the tender – and expensive – loin chops and roasts.

I think they are lovely in the right spot. Like along the stone wall of an old farmhouse Like functionthenlook, I don't have a problem with them being invasive. While I agree they can be aggressive, I haven't had that experience with them. I planted some about 25 years ago, as a new gardener, then read about them and got nervous. I watched the planting and after 25 years they have formed a nice ring around an oak tree but are not even approaching what could be called aggressive growth. Likewise, the corner in the photo above looked pretty much the same 25 years ago. If anything the dayllies have declined a bit as the farmer aged and passed away and the property is not really cared for so it's getting overgrown. That being said, if you have any hesitation, don't take them. However, I'm willing to bet that most anything you can get for free is going to be something that is labelled aggressive, if not invasive. Good luck with your decision! :) Dee

Well ok. I'm normal
Most people who know me think I'm far from normal- Hah!
That cream, just curious, do you rub it all over your body?
The only real problem I hate, is when I can't control my
misery-mood, other than that I must consider myself lucky,
Oh, except those damn hemorhoids!!
Thanks, Joanne

Joanne........I am far from normal also, more now than ever before. LOL This menopause thing is creating a lot of abnormalities in me. The cream I rub 1/4 teaspoon on different parts of my body twice a day. That's all do for 21
days and then I stopped for 7. It is okay and I do really feel the difference. Good Luck Les
