Today, I turned half a century old.

I went to my GP yesterday to leaen the results of my last bl**d work-mainly to ask him what my hormone tests revealed, but he said they are still in the normal range.

However coincidentally, I fearfully brought up the fact that I have been on my period for nearly two weeks now, and only within the last day has become less heavy.

I have been exhausted.

I had been having irregular cycles for awhile after a long time having entirely lost my period to anorexia nervosa.

The longest it woukd last would be about 3 days.

A d my heaviest day was only the second.

Very little pain, the devastating PMDD i suffered from in my 20s and 30 seemed to quiet...

Admittedly, since the years over where I was on birth control, always worried about getting pregnant have now ended, I have not been diligently tracking my cycles my physical, mental, and emotional symptoms but perhaps can find, ( or ladies, if you can suggest a good site/app it woukd be much appreciated.) A tracking app.

Anyway, even after I told him that my aunt had uterinee c**ncer, he said there was nothing to worry about...Just " the change of life"

I am now very motivated in educating myself about perimenpause, praying my period ends soon, and. reaching out here to those of you who are going through this too, or hav3 already been through the nightmare I have read perimenpause to be...

Hi @Autumn75

I have recently just gone through the menopause and before that for the last 6 or 7 years I was put on the mini pill because my periods were like you, sometimes I would bleed for 2-3 weeks, my doctor did send me for an ultrasound and they found fibroids and they reckon that's what was causing the heavy irregular periods, the mini pill helped my periods hugely, It stopped my periods and I stopped the mini pill about 18 months a go and haven't had a period since stopping.

Thank you for sharing @Lavender

I would definitely consider the birth control pill if I have to endure this nightmare every month.

I am not having any other symptoms-I already have been taking g calcium a d vitamin D for my osteopenia I developed as a consequence of my ED...

I still think I need to.track my cycles for especially to make a note if my mood seems to be being affected ...did you find it did for you?

Thank you again for sharing your experience.🩷
