hey Alison , thanks for getting in touch , you right my life style has changed over recent months , but only for the better my new job entails me to be quite physical at time ( im a community care worker ) as it takes a lot of energy iv started to eat better , regular meals , and got to bed very tired and i was sleeping better at first , although some mornings woke up still very tired but thats part of the job , i can be helping someone go to bed at 10 pm , and then out in the morning to help someone get up at 5 .30 am , but thats not an everyday thing , the feeling not my self started about 2 weeks after i should of had a 3rd injection and slowly got worse ,and i stopped the injection as i was spotting , having painfull cramps and the water retention was a joke , i think i could have filled a small childs paddling pool , and your right about the worrying and anxiety of it all , iv come to the conclusion that the bloods say im ok , so i do just need to ride it out and wait for my body to go back to normal , i figured that my body would react the way it has in the past to the depo injection , but this time is clearly not the case maybe its my age and im more aware of what my body does ,i dont know , my gp did the bloods to check for perimenopause , not menopause , the results range we use here are probably different , and my estradiol was in the post menopause range , but i know im not menopausal .nd its deemed normal for estradiol to be low as long as fsh and lh are ok , im seeing my gp today to ask about the estrogen as i know it being low will stop me from having a period as you need it for the other hormones to do there bit , and remain healthy , you've got me thinking a lot about my life style , im still wondering if the fatigue is tiredness or my bodys way of saying i need to witch off from the stress for a while . our bodys have strange coping mechanisms . the evening primrose wont do any harm to take , when my menstral cycle is normal i do suffer painful cramps and some pms a few days before so if i strt taking it now , then when i finally do get my period maybe it will help with that , , im wondering if i miss my period again this month , i think its due again 20th oct , going on a 28 cycle , do i go back to my gp then ?
im thinking i should cancel todays apointment as like you said iv only missed 1 period , it does help to think of it that way too
