Hi Ladies:

I don't know whats going on now. I'm now having 2 periods a month. My cycles are running between 20 days to 16 days apart. I'm bleeding extremely heavy, not just spotting. I have been on compounded progesterone, testosterone and pregnegnalone since March and since June these short cycles have started. I saw my ob-gyn this week and told her what was going on and she thinks its to much testosterone and I have to get blood work done. I have so many symptoms going on that sometimes I think its the end for me. Are there any of you hving cycles like this? My other symptoms are, speedy feeling, like my mind is racing and my body can't stay caught up. Insomnia more than before, more panicy and anxious, more swollen in the limbs, I feel warm alot, not a complete hot flush but warm and damp on the skin. I'm also very easily irratated, depressed. Its all so overwhelming and hard to believe these docs can't get this right. What causes this type of cycling? If anyone can share any info gosh I would love it.

Hugs,Patty

Babe,

I have the LONG cycles......I have missed a cycle(or had one long cycle) over a couple of months.......so I am not sure what the idea is hormonally, with the short cycles......it is different for everyone.....

The thing that jumped out straight away is, have you had your thyroid hormones tested? They can effect menstrual cycles significantly.......as well as peri....

Sorry not much help, but I am still trying to understand the significance of long and short cycles myself.......maybe someone else can answer that.....

Take good care sweet.......put a boot into that docs behind and get your answers......

Hey Patty,

My cycles are all over the place and for a spell I was having 2 periods a month.I have the same symptoms as you with he racy mind feeling, like some one has the remote control to my brain and they just keep flipping the channels !! I hate that feeling and it scares me =[ I also have the irritability like you.My testosterone was high 8 months ago when I was tested. I also just finished my period in which I didn't ovulate.I had a light 2 day period with black-ish to brown-ish blood (((TMI) but just wanted to share in case you are experiencing the same thing)) I had no PMS this month never do when I don't ovulate but instead I have the dreaded anxiety, panicky, irritable racy feeling that starts day 2 of my cycle and carries on till middle of the month !!! I cycle between barely there periods to flooding (scared to leave the house) cycles..I just never know which one from month to month. I was really glad to read your post because I was in the " OH GOD, WHT IF I'M BIPOLAR AND GOING CRAZY MODE" due to the racy, jittery feeling. You are not alone girly, I am with you.
(((((( Big Hugs to you ))))))
