Darn, was beginning to think things may be all over, then yesterday completely out of the blue, I wiped away some pink mucous ... later in the day the floodgates opened :( . Luckily its weekend, so can hopefully get things under control before work tomorrow. I had this once before, and the following day had an all day training course at work, so ended up going in padded like a baby to avoid any embarrassments - it was very heavy for a couple of days then, so I am prepared for the worst, but only lasted about 3 days. I woke this morning to find my mooncup had overflowed, which used to cope overnight, so looks like its going to be heavy ... ::) I used to be regular almost to the hour, with raging PMT 3 or 4 days beforehand, but no build-up this time and totally without warning ... so, back to marking the calendar with a subtle little * that only I understand and start counting months all over again ... Last time I went back to a few months of something like regular appearances, then dried up again, so waiting to see whether I am back on a routine or this is just a last fling but will be a bit miffed if it comes next month as well as will be right on Christmas ::)

How do you feel generally, other than really, really annoyed?

Thanks for replies, thought it was too good to be true that it was all over so easily ... sadly my mum is no longer with us to compare notes :(
CLKD, I am feeling fine, a few mild stomach cramps today, but in last 8 weeks or so (see other posts) my libido has gone sky high. I have very occasional spells of hot flushes but they are mild and pass quickly, and a few night sweats recently. My hair has gone really lank and "teenage" greasy and I have had a major outbreak of nasty spots but funnily enough, I used to break out around period time, but in the last week or so they all seem to have disappeared ... might be down to new face wash and moisturiser I have started using, but not sure. Other than all the above, and my normally spot on memory letting me down now and then, I think I am getting off lightly ... I often say these days I can remember the reg no of every car I have ever owned, but ask me what I had for lunch yesterday and I'd need to phone a friend ... ::)
