Okay so I want to be mad at someone but I don't even know who. 41 years old and my cycles have been doing whatever they want for the past year and not one person, not my OB, not my mom, nobody, mentioned that this could start happening in your late thirties. I thought irregular periods were a you're-almost-done thing. Apparently not! I started keeping a symptom calendar because I needed to feel like I had some kind of grip on it. Mood, sleep, where I am in my cycle, what I ate (weeknight dinners are a disaster zone right now, we're in survival mode). Taking it to my next appointment because I am not walking in there empty-handed again and leaving with nothing. If anyone else is tracking cycle changes and figuring out how to actually talk to their doctor about it, I would love to know what's working.
