48 next month and my periods have basically lost the plot. Last cycle was 19 days. The one before that was 38. And the heaviness... I genuinely had to leave a meeting last week and I don't want to talk about why. I've started keeping a little calendar on my phone, just marking when it starts, when it properly kicks in, when it eases off. Nothing fancy. But I've got my GP appointment in a few weeks and I am NOT going in there empty handed again to be told it's "just one of those things". Also been trying to eat more iron-rich stuff on the heavy days because I am absolutely floored by day two. Lentil soup, spinach with everything, that kind of thing. Whether it helps I genuinely can't say but it's something I can actually control. Anyone else tracking their bleeding pattern for a GP appointment? What did you write down, what did they actually find useful to know? x
