A Dry June

Well ladies, June is gone and no period ever came this month. I wonder if its because I had almost two last month. I'm feeling great, no hot flashes, no major mood swings, and sleeping fine. Apparently, toward the end of menses periods become less and less, until finally there is no more, ever! I think that's a good thing but I hear that having a period is good for the body. Whatever the case, I have had my share and I'm done! I just hope my ovaries are too.

Until next posst!
Sleep well.

2 Week Period

Hi Ladies,

In March and April I had no period, but in May I had a period for 2 weeks. It first started with ugly, smelly, brown spotting for a week which gave me the impression that I would not have a regular period. However, to my dismay, I had a full blown period right after the spotting stopped.

The period was different this time because instead of starting heavy, it started light and then it got heavier as each day went by. I didn't need to use a tampon until a few days into the period and found that each time I changed my mini pad there was barely anything there, but when I wiped, there it was-a little clotty on the tissue (I'm sorry to be so graphic but I thought this was very strange). I eventually emailed my gyn and she said that it was OK as long as it didn't get heavier or didn't stop.

It did finally stop and now I'm waiting to see what happens this month.

Talk to you soon,

Lilia
