Ladies: hormone problems, heavy periods

[Crymeariver]

Proving there is a commercial for absolutely, freaking everything,,, an Is your period too heavy? ad for the Novosure implant.  So there you go, it is a thing.  Maybe ask your doc about it.

I have PCOS too and it never showed up in my bloodwork until I got quite sick.

Heavy periods, adult acne, weight around middle (tummy fat), cravings for sugar/carbs, hair where it doesn't belong (I had a few on my nipples, my Mom said everyone does... actually, not true lol!), early onset of menses, heavy and long periods, ie. longer than 5 days.

So I have had it my whole life, and I had no idea until I was rottenly ill.

I would look it up if I were you. You can somewhat control it with diet and exercise.  I am on Metformin now for it.

I feel dreadful today, can't stay awake.  Phoned surgery ad they said to phone in the morning.  Wondering whether to go in as an urgent case now as I feel worse every day.  if they can sort the bloodwork out in the next few days I could be on medication in a couple of weeks.

Wildthing,

Think any of your feeling awful is connected to your fall? Certainly hope not, but if you feel horrible, maybe a visit to an urgent care doc/clinic, etc. would be a good idea today.

Keep us posted, ok?  And take care of yourself.

Tried to get my backside out of bes this morning to phone the surgery but couldn't do it as was awake all night again.  I'm feeling dreadful because I am so tired all the time.  If I can just phone up tomorrow morning to make an appointment.  I'd rather see the doc I've been seeing recently I think as I need to check something with one of my meds and she knows my history then I'll just say oh by the way I think I'm anemic. Do you think it would be cheeky for me to ask her to test my hormones also?
