how long??

[roxy]

How long Lord? How long must I go through this monthly psychosis? What the hell, how long does it take to go through menopause, fercraps sake?? I'm fucking 53 years old, it's not like I *need* to be fertile anymore, thank you. Bloating, and cramping and having to keep sharp objects away--oh, and let's not forget the amusing self-hatred and total lack of self-confidence in my every ability--so yeah, updates? Eaten up by that, sorry.

*humpf*

Oh well.

Did I mention horny? I don't mind that part so much. *g*

Rose will you please get your _PROGESTERONE_ levels checked!

On or around day 22, this would be 22 days after the first day of your period, you need to have your levels checked.

You should have a PEAK of progesterone and I can't find out what the range of levels should be, sorry.

Anyhow, if it's low, there's your answer. If not, I'm sorry I don't know. But that's what my problem was, ok?

okay! I will--Monday, I'm going to call my doc and we'll have a chat about all the various things kind of pooping out on me!

Don't let the doc try and persuade you that you don't know what you want.

At your age you're perimenopausal, also fat cells produce estrogen. So the problem might not be that you need estrogen, but rather progesterone.
