Comments (3)Wow, wish I wanted sex at all. Hormones flucuate daily, they are so affected by food, meds,exercise,enviromental stress factors. As long as you completely trust your dr. then hang in there and follow her quidelines. Ask close friends, people in your church community. Your dental hygenist! Get other dr names and professional in case your want second opinions. One day you will need them....See MoreOvulating twice in a month
Comments (2)Sounds familiar. I started having periods 2-3 weeks apart a few years ago, and very bad cramps, too. I had always been regular & barely ever had cramps. I finally went in for a check up - I was fine. I'd get a check up just to rule out fibroids (?) or something, though. Three years later, now my periods are 7-8 weeks apart, I feel like I'm on constant PMS and I AM READY TO GET PAST THIS MENOPAUSE STUFF! Ahem. Hopefully you'll get through this quicker than me!...See MoreAll the signs of a period but NO period! Help!
Comments (2)i know that exact feeling. I had "phantom" periods for 6 months after giving up the pill back in April. I had every symptom to say that my period was well on its way, cramps ,bloating, the whole she-bang, but it would just never come. 6 months later i finally got one. Just part of the FUN that comes with Perimenopause! my GYNO never once mentioned that this was a possiblity. as a matter of fact he assured me my periods would be heavy and possibly painful after giving up the pill. not that at 48 i would get thrown full into the peri situation. geez thanks for the warning! not!...See MoreLong lasting ovulation pain
Comments (4)I get ovarian cysts too. It's very common for women in their 40's and 50's because of the fluctuating hormones- primarily high levels of estrogen. Estrogen feeds the cysts- same way it does Endometriosis and some breast cancers. The cysts usually pop or dissipate on their own. There's a couple things your Dr. could do. You could be put on birth control pills and that way your hormones are controlled. They could also give you Progesterone pills to counteract the estrogen that leads to the cysts. I know Dr's won't do anything until you go 3 cycles or 3 months of bad ovulation pain. Lucky for me- my cysts always go away within that time:) And Ibuprofin is the only thing that stops the pain for me when I get them. Good luck!!...See More- 9 years ago
