About 2.5-3 months ago I had the period from hell. My emotions were out of control, and the cramps were unbelievable. I downed black cohosh several times a day to try to keep in balance. It also lasted a few days longer than my period normally lasts. That was the last period I had until now, and it feels like it's going to be another doozy.
I had two packs of sample bc pills from the doctor, so after my last horrible period, I began taking them. I didn't have a period between the two packs like I should have. And I didn't have a period after I ended the second pack, and that was 2-3 weeks ago. It is also impossible for me to be pregnant.
So now I have finally started, and the cramps are already worse than usual. Is this kind of irregularity common with being pre-menopausal? (I'm 43.) My mom had a hard time with menopause, so maybe it's just genetic. But since my periods have always been fairly regular (and fairly easy), could this be an indication that something is wrong?
I know I should probably just call my doctor, but I am having a cash flow problem right now. Still, if this one turns out to be as horrible as the last one was, I won't have much choice. Any ladies out there experience the same thing around this season of life?
