Oh, and they checked my thyroid and it's fine.
No, I don't have hot flashes, night sweats, etc., and I do eat pretty healthy, for the most part.
I got the ultrasound done and they saw a spot or something along the endometrium, could be a fibroid, could be nothing. It wasn't a good enough picture, apparently, so they want me to get an MRI.
I got my period today. It's so messed up now after last month. I had nausea all day today and then a sharp pain in the rectum, that really hurt and made me feel so sick for awhile before it let up. Not sure what that was about. I think my hormones are going wacky or something.
Hello Dear,
Do you experience any more symptoms Like night sweat, hot flesh etc. If you feel any other symptoms apart from bleeding then you may hit menopause otherwise you just facing the problem of periods issue. Don't worry. Eat proper diet food add lots of vitamins to it. Do regular exercise. This all will help you to live healthy.
Take care
Sounds like a plan. Hope the u/s and lab all come back normal. :)
Saw the doctor today and he thinks it's the beginning of Perimenopause but said we'll do an ultrasound just to make sure there's no fibroids or anything else going on. Also, got some blood work and urinalysis done. So, we'll see what all that says when it comes back but it does look like I'm just entering Perimenopause.
I haven't seen a gynocologist yet. I wasn't able to make an appointment any time soon with them so I made an appointment with my general practitioner for tomorrow. I would have rather have gone to women's health but we'll see what he says. I'm on day 17 now with the bleeding. Just seems odd to me but maybe it really is just perimenopause or something, I don't know. It's not super heavy, just seems like a period that isn't stopping.
Have you asked your gynocologist about the heavy bleeding? What about routine lab work? Have you had labs recently? Heavy bleeding could be attributed to a thyroid problem so maybe check that. Menopause is declared once it has been 12 months since your last period. Since you are having periods, you're not there yet, but likely, given your age, you are in the perimenopausal stage. I haven't ever had the tests you mention that detects where one is on the perimenopausal scale. I just go by symptoms-hot flashes, night sweats, etc. I think you should run your symptoms by a doc just to make sure all is well. Good luck!
