Yes. This is true. So two years ago, or so, I started peri-menopause. Hot flashes are super annoying but the no period thing was awesome! I remember visiting with my doctor at a check up and when I told him I thought I was starting menopause and he told me I was too young. Ha! So after months of hot flashes, I started taking Black Cohosh and it helped… for awhile. Then my period came back and so did the hot flashes. Well, darn. Then the Black Cohosh started to work again and the cycle began again, and again. It’s pretty sweet when the hot flashes stop at the same time that the period stops. The stupid thing is that every time my period starts again it is a surprise. Not a good surprise. Recently my face started breaking out, strangely reminiscent of back in the days of having my period, my first thought… weird. My second thought, what the hell?!! I promptly started my period and it was just like old times. Gah!
Good news? Since then I haven’t had any hot flashes. Yay! I wonder if I am finally done? Maybe. Just thought I would share this very amazing and insightful post with you. Seriously. Peri-menopause is stupid. No doubt by writing this, I will induce my period or hot flashes!
