Elvanse, I have 20 and 40mg so I can take up to 60mg when I need it. Then dex for top ups. Hopefully with things settling down I can cycle it properly and get it working. I saw a seminar on it last year and it makes so much sense. Maybe then i can shift this weight that's sprung up on me. Even considering orlistat (or whatever its called)
) but I thankfully don't (I'm so grateful). This is normal and actually wild (I thought I peed myself). Just FYI if anyone's periods have gone haywire. I've been tracking too.So how do we plan for this early/random mofo? I wasn't prepared for this week early period
I had this also. 25 days instead of 29-30. That can sod off. It's bad enough every 29 without it showing up soonerLadies, apart from itchy ears and the usual random irritability, I've had my proper first perimenopause symptom. A period that came after only 19 days and lasted 5 days! I was an entire WEEK early.
This might not sound mad to those who suffer from awful periods (
You just sort of get used to it as time goes on. I went from very regular to every 2 weeks or there abouts but, very light last June to September. Since then it's only happened in Nov 24, March 25, Sept 25. And, then this week. Which was a surprise, I expected another longer break. Unfortunately, it just becomes expected that it's random. Do not leave home without being prepared.So how do we plan for this early/random mofo? I wasn't prepared for this week early period
Sorry, I tried to add your quote to my reply but failed. But, this erratic pattern happens I'm afraid. And, you just learn it's your new normal.
I had that in September , only the cheeky b did it when I was on holiday. Thankfully I had stuff with me as mine haven’t been the most regular of late. My most recent cycles have been 35 days, 17 days (holiday), 42 days, 27 days, 25 days, 19 days, 27 days, 52 days.
. This happens all the time. I’ve had the cramps and swelling and all the PMT for most of this time. I have clothes I basically don’t wear any more as they are light coloured amd I’m afraid of bleeding . Last night for a work thing I wore my fab light grey denims but wore a sanitary towel just in case. Last year on hols I went through a whole pack out and about “ just in case “. It really is just the new normal and im nearly two years into this b behaviour 
Oh ffs this is so depressingIt really is just the new normal and im nearly two years into this b behaviour
I literally thought the other day I'm going to have to be careful with light coloured trousers now just in case 
Sorry to be depressing !Oh ffs this is so depressing
The whole thing just sucks ! The only positive is that it’s finite. 
Yeah I love them, got them from Amazon. They're just not great for under tight trousers (VPLOh and just to add. If anyone is worried about the bleeding out of no where esp in light clothes I’m thinking the period underwear are the way forward. I’m gonna research some because I looked before and got overwhelmed
)Yes! Yes! Yes! Thanks for mentioning because I thought I was going mad/having a heart attack. I thankfully have never suffered with anxiety, but these past few weeks I've been having palpitations/flutters and feeling really anxious like I'm worried about something or sitting an exam, when I'm absolutely not. It's driving me mad. I just feel so worried all the time.
Unfortunately I can't take HRT due to health condition and no supplements because they could affect my current medication.
