Another New Reality
One of the things I talked about with my doctor last month was my periods. They have been just crazy the last few months. They have always been sporadic, but when I had them, they followed a consistent trend. Flow started light, built up for a couple days, died back down, and that was the end. They are not like that anymore. One day will be medium and the next there is nothing. Day three could be heavy bleeding that I can barely keep up with in the hygiene department, and the next back to medium. My four to five days is now four to seven. I'm 47. Menopause is just over the horizon. I've lost 63 pounds and that is guaranteed to screw with your hormones. I didn't know if one of these things was the issue or if there was something else and if there was anything I could do about it either way. So, I asked. Dr. Ryan agreed that both being pre-menopausal and having lost a significant amount of weight could have an impact. She thought that a change in my birth control might help,
