I am battling depression, partly due to a death of my father in Nov. and was really depressed 2 weeks ago today. Last week when I had my psychiatrist appt. I felt great for that day and a couple of days before, so didn't change any of my medication. But then I had started my monthly (real light) which I have not had one for almost 6 months or so. And now I feel myself going down again. So I'm wondering if I was just feeling better because of hormones or what? Should I just go to an OB/gyn or contact my psychiatrist again? I'm so confused I don't know what I need to do? Anyone else? I'm 53 and stopped a birth control pill back around May of 2019. Because I kept having a monthly period, fairly heavy and a friend of mine told me she stopped hers (due to medical reasons) and she quit having a monthly. I wouldn't mind hormones or anything to help, but I don't really want a monthly anymore. I need to figure out, because I'm also raising my 6 year old granddaughter, whose had a rough time and I don't want her subject to me like this.
I’m 50 and still have my period every 28 days. It’s very heavy and was low in iron so now I take iron every day and 2 on my heavy days. I stopped BC about 15 years ago. Dr thought a D&C would help get me to meno so I had it in November and it hasn’t slowed down yet.. Soon I will make another appointment to figure out what’s next. I think my other options are to ‘wait’ or have hysterectomy.
