Oh joy

So it seems my body has indeed entered the early stages of menopause (apparently you're not supposed to actually call it that until the 'm' has paused for over a year;). Last year my cycle skipped two months which gave me the misguided hope that the whole thing was over with. This delightful feeling was crashed in December, when it was party-time as usual. *pouts*
Since a couple of weeks my body is completely confused and I have no idea what my monthly timeline is. The past few days I experienced all the usually spread out festivities at once: headache and nausea from pms, cramps from ovulation and -woohoo- a bloody mess that doesn't fit the normal schedule.

Seeing as I've been as regular as clockwork since the beginning (oh my, has it been thirty years already?) I made a doctor's appointment to rule out other issues. Physical examination didn't show any problems, so that at least eased my mind. I still have to wait two weeks for the result of the additional test, but I expect that to be alright as well.

Looks like I have no other option than to go with the flow (so to speak, heh). *angrily starts singing You make me feel like a natural woman.

Hrmpf.
