falcongrrlI'm having a very difficult menstrual cycle this month with heavy bleeding and cramping. The bleeding actually seems to be tapering off today, though the cramping and general malaise is still there. There's also fatigue which may or may not be related to losing quite a bit of blood yesterday. Dave's picking me up some iron supplements.
I bring it up because I've been pretty far off the radar online. Also, this coming week is the kids' spring break so I'm likely to be scarce then too.
Apologies if this sounds like a)tmi or b)a regular fact of life. I was pretty scared yesterday. Now I'm just thinking that I will follow up with a gp appointment to check my thyroid levels (hypothyroid can cause heavy periods). If it's endometriosis or uterine fibroids, the treatment is usually oral contraceptives, which I just started anyway. (And yeah, that may have contributed to this cycle. Hopefully things will even out.)
Anyway, just fyi.
