Well, a few days after officially hitting the one year mark without a visit from Aunt Flo, I began spotting. Actual feel....
Anyone else have this problem? A quick Google search indicated that it could be caused by a number of things ranging from stress, to endometrial atrophy, to cancer. Great. Given my current life situation, the frequent migraines, acid re-flux and insomnia, I'm going to bank on stress. Doesn't make what's happening any more palatable. I'm literally the living embodiment of Murphy's Law these days. Do yourself a favor and don't angrily ask God what else can possibly go wrong for you, because He will just heap a big ol' stinking pile of shit right on top of your head, or in this case, crack open a valve that was supposed to be soldered off!
But I digress...although I was perimenopausal for many years prior to Flo's departure, I'm still in the very early stages of menopause, proper. From what I understand, spotting is increasingly more problematic when there has been no period for several years, and could be an indicator of something more serious. Listen to your intuition, and always check with your doctor if you feel it's necessary. As for me, I'm going to stop shaking my fist at the Almighty, and proceed with caution in the days and weeks ahead, praying Mother Nature doesn't throw me another curve ball. Again, actual feel...
It should be noted that I'm not a fan of this adage. Telling someone to hang in there is on par with, how are you and have a nice day, nobody really cares, BUT, bloody Conan needed to be offset by sweet, adorable Mr. Kitty here...
