PMS but no period

Posted in Group: 

Hi,

I am 45 years old. Last year there were a few times that I skipped a period having my period 60 some days apart. I can't remember when I last had it at this point so I am going by the last time I wrote it down and that is in November. I have been having bloating and pain and backaches when I SHOULD be getting my period but it doesn't come. I have not experienced the pre-period frequent bowel movements that I usually do. So I am in pain from all the bad symptoms without the benefit of the monthly cleaning out if you know what I mean. I called my doctor and was put on medroxyprogesterone for 10 days. I am now 14 days out after starting the meds, so 4 days after stopping and no period yet. What happens next? Does anyone know? If the medroxyprogresterone doesn't work, what do they do now? I feel there is someting wrong because I am having period symptoms and no period. I swear I feel I have several months of bloating going on and am so afraid I will wind up in the hospital if/when bleeding ever begins.

My first period at 12 was crazy, I was in the hospital for 5 days and lost 10 pounds. Doctors said that there was a build up of estrogen that prevented my period from starting on time and then I lost a few months all at once. I had to have multiple blood transfusions while in the hospital.

I am so afraid something like that will happen to me again.

I can't even call my doctor YET because they said bleeding anywhere from 2-7 days after stopping the medicine. I just think is ridiculous, seriouly why didn't they just give me an abortion pill and put me out of my misery.

Anything thoughts are welcome, please I just need to talk to someone about this, I feel so alone in this. My mom died when I was 21 so she is not here for me to talk to about this.

thank you

Jodee

Sounds like you have to wait out the meds but make sure you get back to the doc next week make an appt on monday. Let him know what is happening. Sounds like you need more test of your Uterus to see what is going on. These are just my opinions. I am still on the BC pill and I am in my 40s so I still have a period each month. I know when my grandmother turned 50 she had one last period and not to sound gross but she said it rushed and came out of her like one big explosion and bleed so much that day and then she never had it again. I hope there are others than can give you advice that might have experienced something like this. Stay on top of it and If the doc can't give you answers get a 2nd opinion.

Its been over 90 days now since I have had a period and I saw the physician's assistant yesterday at my gyno office. She ordered a bunch of blood work: pregnancy test (which we do not think I am pregnant, my husband had a vasectomy a long time ago), estradiol, fsh, prolactin, T4Free, TSH, Vitamin D 25 Hydroxy. She said it sounds like I am not ovulating and that it is "normal" to have all of the pms symtpoms I am having even though I am not getting my period. It really stinks because I am so uncomfortable. She is supposed to call me when she gets the results.

Sorry you are in pain. Hope you get the results soon. Sounds like you have the right doc and you feel really comfortable with her. Let us know how the test turns out if you are able. Stay Strong.

Still haven't heard any test results yet but I have had a little spotting. Hopefully she will all today with the blood test results. Judging from my insomnia and absent periods I am sure I am in perimenopause.
