Current:
Last year: missed two periods.
This year: these last 7 periods have been different. For starters, they’ve been right on time for the first time in my life (28 day cycle as apposed to my average 40 day cycle). They’ve been shorter (3 days apposed to 7 days) and heavier with the exception of the last two.
June or July: I passed a clot the size of a ping-pong ball. It wasn’t painful but felt strange.
January-May I had night sweats days prior to and first day of my period as did I this month.
I've been flushing frequently and after months of drier skin (normaly mixed) have been experiencing oily hair and complexion.
I gave birth to my last son June of 2004. My hair has continued to fall out since and have cut my very long hair to short on account of it.
I did have 3 TSH tests done: August 05: 1.54 Feb. 1.19 Aug. 06: 2.1
Normal
Reproductive history
Started period at age 15
Hit and miss periods for 2 years and at 17 had severe menstrual pain on the first day of periods. Would break out in sweats, vomit-along with diarrhea. Would also pass clots.
This stopped after the birth of my first child.
For the most part, I’ve always been two weeks late starting my period. Would occasionally miss one in the distant past if I were either very stressed or sick.
All 4 children were born 2 weeks “late.” This followed my typical 2 week late menstrual cycle.
No abortions or miscarriages.
As a side-note, never was able to nurse my babies. My right breast lacks the necessary means to have been able to.
Any thoughts?
Thanks much,
