Hi Girrrrls, TM, and the stress of it all does seem to affect timing, frequency, flow, quantity etc (no explanations from the Drs - live with it - its what happens from male ob/gyn's - I swear, if guys had to go through it each month they would get pain period leave!) and if you have taken steroids the whole lot is messed up even further!
I had just gotten back to a more regular pattern and chemo then made things all screwy again! (Male) ob/gyn suggested I have a Merina implant to mainly stop my periods and also for contraceptive value (as I can no longer take the pill) and when I asked if he had looked up the side effects on the net he answered that he hasn't but they are not too bad!! So I politely declined and told him to look into further with women who have used it and not what he had read of the drug company propaganda (ok, now off the soapbox) Of course age also may be a factor, but talk to the relevant medical specialist, female if possible. Love Karyne
