^^ you are probably right Dougella

^ It could be worse then, sometimes i feel like i have the symptoms of a period but it doesn't turn up, I should get some answers this week or next.

Have you been to the doctors Consolida?

Consolida · #**392** 23rd February 2019, 18:22

^ I did a few years ago, newbs, but I was told it's 'just my age.' It seems it's something you just have to put up with once you are 40 +

I hope you get the answers you are looking for as soon as poss as it's not nice suffering with all these crazy hormones and the horrid symptoms they can cause is it newbs

Today is day 42 and my period finally arrived, it's already extra painful.

newbs16 · #**394** 14th March 2019, 22:48

^I hope you feel better soon.

Dougella · #**395** 23rd March 2019, 14:40

I have four angry red spots on my face right now, thank you hormones.

newbs16 · #**396** 23rd March 2019, 21:39

Do you ever get sore nipples?

Dougella · #**397** 23rd March 2019, 21:41

^ I don't but I think some women do.

Mo34 · #**398** 23rd March 2019, 22:55

So tired and fairly depressed. I'm guessing it's on it's way.....

Consolida · #**399** 4th April 2019, 16:51

This is really getting me down. Am feeling so fatigued all the time but can't even muster up the energy to go to the Doc's to check if I'm Anemic

newbs16 · #**400** 4th April 2019, 20:34

^ I used a website a few times to have a blood test, it was expensive but saved me going to the doctors.

newbs16 · #**401** 4th April 2019, 20:39

I am having a ultrasound next week and my period was normal this month, previously 34, 43 or 50 days between periods.

Dougella · #**402** 4th April 2019, 20:59

^^ Typical isn't it, you think there's something going on and then it decides to behave normally! I had an ultrasound once, it was fine, you just really need a wee because they ask you to drink quite a bit of fluid beforehand. Or atleast I did!

Mo34 · #**403** 4th April 2019, 21:35

Good luck with your ultra sound newbs. I've had one before too both external and internal.

I found it pretty straightforward tbh and was chatting away to the sonographer about shoes

. But yeah you have to drink loads of water and hope there not running late!

Thanks newbs, I may look into that if these darn periods don't let up.

Btw, good luck with the ultrasound next week. I've had one or two in the past and the procedure was surprisingly okay considering I'm generally quite squeamish when it comes to anything medical concerning myself.

Ah, it's always the way isn't it newbs. When you finally get that appointment you've been waiting SO long for everything suddenly seems to right itself!
I was booked in for a general a couple of years ago to see what was going on then suddenly things went back to normal and have been normal ever since - until now

Anyway, all the best newbs

Oh no.. I've changed phones so no longer have the app on my phone to tell me when it's gonna start so it's gonna catch me by surprise.

I backed mine up and it recovered tho information.

Good isn't it biscuits

newbs16 · #**407** 28th April 2019, 02:52

Wonder if my period will be back to normal this mouth.

newbs16 · #**408** 1st May 2019, 02:31

Do you think hormones related to your period make anxiety symptoms worse, I've felt more anxious recently which is annoying

.

Mo34 · #**409** 1st May 2019, 07:53

^ I think they can do. I used to think that they definitely did. Over the years I've had 2 counsellors suggest I get my hormones checked but me being me I've never asked a GP. :/

newbs16 · #**410** 5th May 2019, 17:18

^ I hope you start to feel better soon, hopefully in time the supplements might help.

Mo34 · #**411** 14th May 2019, 09:23

stomach cramps.

Dougella · #**412** 14th May 2019, 13:05

When people wonder why women might be a bit grumpy during their period I wonder if they know we have a headache, and we're bloated and we have an upset stomach, and our body temperature has gone all weird...and that's before the bleeding and the cramps! We're entitled to be bad tempered when we feel like this in my opinion, it's not fun (I'm not having a good day

)

Dougella · #**413** 14th May 2019, 14:14

^ Thanks, atleast it will be over again in a few days!

Dougella · #**414** 17th May 2019, 16:00

^ I think it's because everything is basically cramping at the same time. Hope you feel better.

Consolida · #**415** 24th May 2019, 17:19

Here we go again. Sick, sick, sick of it

Also, is it ridiculously warm and muggy today or is it just me having hot flushes

Dougella · #**416** 24th May 2019, 17:28

^ Are you on any sort of HRT yet, if you don't mind me asking? I only found out recently that women can get increased anxiety in the lead up to the menopause, as if we need anything else to have to cope with!

choirgirl · #**417** 24th May 2019, 18:58

^Apparently you can also have decreased executive function! No! Jeez. How am I going to cope?

Dougella · #**418** 24th May 2019, 19:39

^ I'm bad enough already!

Consolida · #**419** 25th May 2019, 00:56

@ Dougella - no, I've never considered HRT - I guess the increased risk of breast cancer (however small) puts me off. Apparently the unpleasant peri-menopausal symptoms can go on for years before a woman has actually gone through the menopause

I'm hoping that when I eventually do come out the other side I will feel like a new re-energised woman

newbs16 · #**420** 25th May 2019, 09:56

^ Sometimes I do wonder why people are so concerned about offending everyone.
