I’m trying a progesterone cream but right now all it seems to do is make me even more short tempered. 😝

You are close to menopause.

Long story, but BC is not an option for me. What else can I do that will actually help?

I haven’t had a period in three months. First time skipping. Want to cry often. Hormones are jerks.

Well on the other end I am 52 and still getting it like clockwork. Tend to be longer 10-14 days but haven't skipped a month. 😒

Why not go on bc if you’re 50+? Sincerely curious.
For me, it makes me depressed and causes weight gain. I already feel that way. Not into exacerbating that.

Risk of blood clots.

To the PP who asked why you cant go on BCP when you are over 50, I was told that doctors don't prescribe BCP for the over 50 crowd. It is a higher amount of estrogen than HRT.

I am taking the advice and seeing a doctor about BC pills. I am going on week two of my period this time. Really how can a body go on doing that for 14 days....don't you run out of fluid at some point especially if it's really heavy. Everything about this is just obnoxious.

I used to feel this way. Then my closest friend became officially post-menopausal at 44. She has gained over 50 pounds, her mental and physical health have fallen apart, and she is frequently mistaken for a man. She has always been disinterested in her appearance and shunned femininity, yet she is devastated at how much she's changed. It's a frustrating time, but after seeing what menopause has done to her, I'm grateful that the periods are still coming, however irregularly.
I think this is a worst-case scenario/outlier (being mistaken for a man, falling apart in every aspect of life). None of the elders in my family experienced this after menopause. It’s no walk in the park, but your example is extreme.

If you are under 50, go on BC.
