Hi lynn. I would go to your doctor for a physical. Are you possibly at the age of approaching menopause? Getting your cycle often or not is a sign of menopause. If you are drinking a lot, most of the time it will make you absent of one. I would go in for a physical and some routine blood work.

Well, that must suck then. I cant even handle once a month! I feel for you, and hope that you will get some answers that may help you. Can your doctor send you to a gynocologist? It just doesn't sound good.

Hi Lynn,
The joys of being a women!! NOT i experience some very bad symptoms also not as often as you but very adnormal. I am going to a natropath on Thursday to get some herbs for hormone balance - could this help you also? What your experiencing is sounds to me like a hormone imbalance which is also causing you the PMS (depression) have a look on this site Women to Women — Changing women's health — naturally. I am also early thirties so not menapausal.
Please pm me if you need to talk further - i will let you know how i go on thursday.
Hope it gets better for you i know the torture of it

Hi,
FYI.....
I had the same problem for over a year. Heavy, Heavy bleeding about 2 times a month for 10 day each time. I was worn out, so I finally had surgery about 3 weeks about. It' was an outpatient procedure ....I can't remember the name but basically the look around, take samples of your uterus for testing and the put in a screen mesh balloon inside you and inflate it and then run a electric current thru it. You sleep threw the whole thing, took about 1.5 hours with recovery and everything.... no pain afterwards. I feel fine.... haven't got my cycle yet.
I guess it is a fairly common problem that's fixable. Talk with your doctor..
I am older than you ... 47
Good luck,
Gail

Do you have kids? I ask because after my second child, I was far from regular. So I decided to get the Depo shot. I don't get a period at all because of it. Make sure you are taking iron supplements; if it is making you tired you might be anemic from it.

lynn,

go for 2nd and 3rd and 4th and 5th opinion. Something is just not right. Is probably not serious but you need to get to the bottom of this. I don't think alcohol has anything to do with it but I am no doc. Just have strong opinions!

I've been thinking possible 2nd oppininon ... but this is my first and only gyn..... not that it is all the great of an exp.... you know after you have takin' it all off for one you hate to do it for another...LOL..... we have been considering going to fert. spec.... but it is hard choice to make.. ins. consideres having a child as something you could live W/O

My sister is 41 and she is experiencing this a lot... I did too around that age. Hard to say what's causing it... Are you stressed out? Maybe try some Evening Primrose Oil caplets...it helps regulate things...

As a nurse, 2nd options are important, I also believe in women GYN Doctors..
Just a thought ..... they seem to get "our" problems way better than men doc's in this field.
There are plenty of doc's research and find one you like ... not all do's are the same
Good luck
Gail
