missed period - again

Post by Roby2015 »

I'm 47 and missed a period in September and had a hellish menstrual cycle in November (heavy bleeding, cramps, clots, etc.) and the December period looks like another no show. I'm close to menopause and I've had fibroid issues in the past - any tips for minimizing the cramps and clots? I really want to avoid fibroid surgery (been under the knife 2x this year)
Thanks in advance for any info

Have you tried birth control pills? i have a fibroid too. I had an ultrasound once for something else and they mentioned i did but have never had much of a problem.

sorry for the delayed response - life has been chaotic lately...but slowly returning to normal
I was on BC for a while but it jacks up blood pressure and I have heart disease in the family so it wasn't a good option for me.
Thanks for the suggestion

No need to apologise for anything. You have your own life to lead after all :).

I hope you're doing okay now :)
