Topic: RE: Menstrual cycle-Questions?
The only question I have a semi answer to is #2. So here goes...The process of mensturation happens when your uterial lining breaks away and falls off. When you are going through menopause that process slows or stops and the uterial lining will become thick and it's my understanding can develope endometriosis if not forced through the process. You are probably more safe to take the premarin than not, to avoid other complications. Your estrogen levels are important for other reasons but have no direct effect on the shedding of the uterial lining that I'm aware of. Again I'm no Dr, but this is what I've learned in the last week.

Hello I would research Premarin further. My sister was given it and was told that is is taken from horses and that they are tortured to retrieve it. Please look into this further. I too have problem with my cycle. I had a blood test 3 weeks before RNY and I was told that I am no where near menopause. I am 43 What I was told is that I have polyps in my uterus that burst with hormone changes hence irregular bleeding. My Gyn does not want to remove my uterus because I am not close to menopause. I had my period from the day after surgery and it lasted for 5 months. It was not heavy but it was there and now I have not had it for 6 months. I am on the depo and that may be the cause of it. Well that is my story hope it helps.

Thanks Janie. I have been so worried! But just seeing that "1" instead of 2 or 3 on the scale made my goal of 150 seem possible after all. Its a crazy roller coaster ride isnt it??
