Thought I was about to PAUSE...

Hi! I'm about 47 and a half, and the signs and symptoms of perimenopause have reared up quite dramatically in the past year. Last month, I had my first "missed" period (after a lonnnng, drawn-out period in October), where I only experienced spotting and about a two-minute bleed at the beginning of November—and nothing since! Until today. Dangit. I thought I might finally be DONE with periods, lol!

I'm also finishing up a six-month school and am SOOO tired. Hanging on by a thread! I'm taking some supplements that have been recommended, but am seriously protein-starved, since my husband has been doing the cooking and only likes chicken (no shade; I don't want to cook, I just need some STEAK). Anxiety has been super-high, too.

Anyway, once I graduate, I hope to find a doctor and get a hormone panel done so I can see whether peri will become PAUSE in the nearish future. Until then, it's great to have a community to learn from! 😊
