hello ,i’ve had very heavy periods for probably 10 years now,i’m 51. They gradually got worse to the point where i could barely leave the house without pockets full of sanitary towels extra pants on and my Ruby Wuka period pants on aswell.
So in September 2018 i had a UFE to deal with my fibroids, this was nowhere near as bad as i’d imagined,on my follow up appointment it had shrunk considerably and my periods were totally bearable,i’ ve had a few heavier ones in between but nothing like it was before.
From OCT 2019 i didnt have a period for 4 months ,absolute joy started the countdown felt like a new woman was having hot flushes which i totally embraced ,as i normally feel the cold horrendously.No hot water bottle all winter,then they stopped!!
And i came back on again nothing major just like heavy spotting but its all over the place and no 28 day cycle .i go a week or 2 with nothing then 3 weeks light period its never ending. And spotting in between.
And just as my husband and i embrace the old mojo returning .BAM its back again to put a stop to it.
everything i read says perimenopause periods can become lighter,shorter, longer or heavier,longer between periods or shorter between periods,and then at the end if they last longer than normal see your dr.So is none of the above ok or not??
Im probably the only person who wants the menopause to come knocking!
I want to start the countdown again!!! Does this stage last forever…
Hi , I’m not sure if you can get a mirena coil fitted if you have fibroids. I have had one for 17 years plus and I haven’t had a period since. I’m 53 and because of the coil I didn’t get the heavy period phase. friends have said it does end, I would speak to your doctor though as it is interfering with your quality of life it must be awful x
