Hahaha, bless you, no need to thank me. However, mine's lemon drizzle! 

[Elizabethrose]

Well, quite unbelievable! I've got a pink show. You know how women who live together quite often find their cycles are in synch?!

My cycle is 52 days today so watch this space. Still have the cervical mucus and aside from the fact that I've been in migraine since Monday and the past three weeks with them have been hellish there is no obvious hormonal change. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens. I am praying that it doesn't turn into a period as I only now have 4 migraine med days left till the end of the month. Oh my!!!!

What did you say about still menstruating at 60 Machair?!! x

[Elizabethrose]

Sparkle, you are most definitely the front runner now for meno gold!!

[Elizabethrose]

This'll be me trying to cross the line.....

[Machair]

How amazing is that? Do you think this will turn into a period?

My beautiful cat Marigold passed away today aged 17. She was a red Persian and absolutely beautiful. I knew her time had come but it is the hardest part of owning pets. Now at peace and free from suffering.

[Elizabethrose]

Oh Machair, I'm so sorry, how very sad!

It sounds to me as if that little kitty had a wonderful life with you.

Lots of love to you and a giant    xxx

[Machair]

Thank you so much ladies. It is so lovely to have your friendship.xx

[Elizabethrose]

You are very welcome Machair x

[linz57]

So sorry to hear about your beloved cat Machair. Our pets become part of the family and it's so hard to say goodbye, sending you gentle hugs x

elizabethrose-- i could hear the fireworks from my frontroom but not see them
Machair- i was spotting for 4 days- only a pinhead size spot each day but it has gone now
so sorry to hear about your cat, itis so sad xx

[Elizabethrose]

Well just hearing them is no fun Elaine!

I know you said that you're recording what's happening to you now and that the spotting is coming after the first 15 days of the cycle, but how often is it happening? Can you spot a pattern? I'm presuming that that was happening with a 'normal' cycle but where is the spotting falling in long/missed cycles, is it still happening on a regular basis?

We've found that our bodies seem to be attempting to maintain a cycle of sorts thus the constant surges. Unfortunately for me the hormone roller-coaster triggers the migraine.

This morning I woke to a little more blood, but it hasn't stained the liner and again it's mixed with the heavy cervical mucus, so there when I wipe. I suspect this will be another anovulatory bleed I just wonder whether the oestrogen will now plummet or maintain itself. I've had 12 days with cervical mucus, stopped for a couple of days then started again and continued for another 12 days. Wow, these ovaries should be proud of themselves! Let's see what today brings! If nothing else it accounts for the nightmare migraine rebounds all week but once again the timing is lousy!!

Machair, I hope you're feeling ok today. x

[Elizabethrose]

Ooooh Sparkle, when was your last real bleed? My flushes and sweats started when I was about three months into my long cycle. Started very mild and then built with a double whammy of intensity and frequency! I really hope you don't follow suit. It was a relief to get some sleep when the oestrogen surges hit and removed the flushes and sweats! x

[Elizabethrose]

Hahaha, I tell you what if I had one I might! I think mine have just started up again too!! Right that's it, if we are coming out in sympathy with each other I don't want to hear anymore!

Mucus seems to have stopped today, there first thing but not now so I'm assuming if the pesky flushes are building again the oestrogen has dropped. Still no proper bleed so watch this space............

Have to say, the tingly face I get with the flushes does not compliment a low grade migraine.

Hopefully your flushes won't be anything major. I had dinner with some friends last week, one of whom was saying she never had flushes, felt warm generally but no flushes or night sweats. She went through meno about 6 years ago. We are all so different. xx

[Elizabethrose]

Have a lovely evening x
