Trying to Keep Track Is Infuriating! Posted: 01-31-06 21:09pm
Hi everybody,
i'm 48 experiencing what the Dr. Calls
perimenopause. Had it all including hot
flashes, night sweats, insomnia and on and
on! My latest problem is flow that
literally lasted 17 days and required
hourly changes. Heres my stupid question
- when trying to calculate when to expect
the next cycle, do I count four weeks
ahead from the first day as one usually
does, which means I will begin again in 11
days? Or, is it now crazy to even try to
guestimate any kind of normal cycle?
Makes it kind of difficult to plan an
intimate weekend away!
Thanks for your input

Okay I see this was posted a couple of
months ago. If you are still
experienceing weird periods, go back to
the doctor and ask about being put on
progeston (might have misspelled that).
Its supposed to regulate your cycle so you
can plan ahead. I am having a similar
problem for a different reason and the
doctor has said he will probably be
putting me on that once he is certain of
what is causing my cycle. My cycle in
feb was twenty five days. Talk about a
bummer!!!
To keep track, supposed to be twenty eight
days from the first day of your period to
figure out your next one. But when your
cycle is crazy, I think all bets are off.

Thanks for the response. You are correct
when saying all bets are off when it comes
to the calculation once the cycle goes
haywire. I did actually get another
period -7 weeks later! Only lasted 4
days and haven't had anything since. I
have given up stressing about it because
it won't change anything. Hopefully the
doc is correct and I may be completely
finished soon!
