One More Time?

Hi Ladies,

I thought I was home free from this period stuff but this month after 6 months I am having a period again.  I wondered what was wrong with me.  I was getting very emotional, cranky, had a fight with my husband, and cried for about 10 minutes.  Not so bad compared to previous bouts of depression.  This cycle  is little different in that I am mostly spotting very heavily.  It's very dark, clotty, type of blood and I have a feeling its the last time I will have a period.  It's almost as if my ovaries needed to clean out the last bit of stuff till I'm home free.

However, I can't help but be thankful even though it's a nuisance because I know ultimately my body is trying to come into balance and compensate for no period for almost 6 months.  Plus, I need the hormones, right?

I hope to hear from some of you.

Home Free!

Hi Ladies,

Well, this month will be my 6th month without a period, which means I will have entered into menopause.  I'm grateful that I feel so good.  All I have to figure out now is how to take off this 25 pounds I gained as a result of this chapter in my life.

If anyone has any ideas on how to do this, I would love it if you can share your story or comments. 

Thank you,
Lilia
