Hi lynn. I would go to your doctor for a physical. Are you possibly at the age of approaching menopause? Getting your cycle often or not is a sign of menopause. If you are drinking a lot, most of the time it will make you absent of one. I would go in for a physical and some routine blood work.

dr. says I"m fine and i'm in my early 30's I just wondered this has happened before sometimes lasting at every other week for 2+ months at a time ...it just wears me out



thanks for responding

Well, that must suck then. I cant even handle once a month! I feel for you, and hope that you will get some answers that may help you. Can your doctor send you to a gynocologist? It just doesn't sound good.

thanks for responding... i've been going every year to the gyn. for checkup and never had any problems... the dr. just says it is stress related ... but give me a break.. it is wearing me out completely


Thanks again,

Hi Lynn,
The joys of being a women!! NOT i experience some very bad symptoms also not as often as you but very adnormal. I am going to a natropath on Thursday to get some herbs for hormone balance - could this help you also? What your experiencing is sounds to me like a hormone imbalance which is also causing you the PMS (depression) have a look on this site Women to Women — Changing women's health — naturally. I am also early thirties so not menapausal.
Please pm me if you need to talk further - i will let you know how i go on thursday.
Hope it gets better for you i know the torture of it

Hi,
FYI.....
I had the same problem for over a year. Heavy, Heavy bleeding about 2 times a month for 10 day each time. I was worn out, so I finally had surgery about 3 weeks about. It' was an outpatient procedure ....I can't remember the name but basically the look around, take samples of your uterus for testing and the put in a screen mesh balloon inside you and inflate it and then run a electric current thru it. You sleep threw the whole thing, took about 1.5 hours with recovery and everything.... no pain afterwards. I feel fine.... haven't got my cycle yet.
I guess it is a fairly common problem that's fixable. Talk with your doctor..
I am older than you ... 47
Good luck,
Gail

Do you have kids? I ask because after my second child, I was far from regular. So I decided to get the Depo shot. I don't get a period at all because of it. Make sure you are taking iron supplements; if it is making you tired you might be anemic from it.

looking - please let me know what you find out ... my heart is with you
G...- thanks for responding I'm kind of scared I'm new to this reaching out thing


I haven't been able to start a family and this just gives me a bad feeling ....sucks esp. when your trying to clean up your life



thank you,
lynn
