Well, THAT explains a lot
So this morning I started another HUGE bleed... after having a big one from about the 1-5 of March, after having little more than a few smudges over the entire last 12 months. I'd really thought I was past the bleed part of my cycle, but apparently not.
No fun but certainly explains the headaches, irritation, and total despair of this last week... a whole bunch of gnarly hormones compounded by the stress of moving. Other than really awful cramps, I expect today to go a lot better.
Sheesh. Great timing, body.

If this keeps up, I will definitely be going in for a tune-up.

I sympathize. Have some chocolate.

I don't think I've got anything too far out of whack, fortunately. It's just the last gasp of an old, tired, well-used uterus and her ovaries.

I don't want to tell people afterward oh, that was just the hormones, because I want people to take me seriously and not dismiss me as "she's just PMSing" when maybe it's a time I have reason to be superangry or superelated. So I just avoid non-work-related conversation.
Do you think that the slowdown last year was more marked because you were nursing?

Could be. I haven't met a lot of folks nursing through menopause. I did have a fairly regular cycle the year before, though, and last year was the Year of Hot Flashes, so I'm pretty sure it's not going to come back to the regular rhythm. It better not, anyway.
