[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP - take this with a  grain of salt, but I am your age (almost 45) and had some similar symptoms.  I did the blood test on day 3 of my cycle and the numbers were also fine. That said, I met with a menopause doctor and they recommended trying a low dose BC. I'm about 2 weeks in. The first week, I felt pregnant in part, but that has mostly abated and I have noticed an improvement in my mood and energy.  It's still very new, but I'm hoping it continues.  [/quote]

Op here. I am already on BC (norethindrone) and the OBGYN had to suggest it because I was bleeding non-stop and this is the only way it could stop. It is also messing with my hormones but I am nots are if I need to go on HRT. [/quote]

I think this makes it pretty hard to say what’s going on. The norethindrone could be putting you into a low estrogen menopausal state. I would not let a doc just throw me on a mini pill ever esp in my 40s. I think you deserve better treatment got your bleeding to start. [/quote]
