Hey there girlies,
Lately I have been so emotional! I feel sorry for my hubby... we have some stress going on with trying to plan a move, and me trying to find work here and some money issues, so that probably has to do with most of it. But my periods are going crazy again. I'm on my 2nd in less than 2 months. I went through a time a few months ago when I had 4 in less than 3 months! I usually do get emotional when its pms time, but this is too much too often with the periods.
I'm concerned that I might be getting depressed. I'm making sure that I'm doing things, like going on walks. But I have a lack of energy, and I'm extra sensitive right now. I almost think I might go to rite aid and get a pregnancy test b/c that would explain it all if I'm positive, but I went through this a while ago too.
I've been doing great with remembering to take my vitamins & supplements. I haven't been taking my evening primrose oil regularly, and I haven't started with my folic acid, I don't want to introduce too much too soon.
I'm supposed to go back to my endo july 17th, but I haven't been able to get my referral renewed (my fault) and I'm supposed to have a CAT scan on my thyroid for my next appt. I think I'm going to reschedule and see my doc and have her do the scan so it will be ready. I think I want her to re check my tsh though. Maybe I've went from amost hyper to hypo--- I dunno. And make an appt with an gyno.
Its just hard for me because I'm usually a happy go lucky kind of person, I get frustrated at times, but I've been feeling bad all week! I'm trying to let go and let God, maybe I just need more rest b/c I started working (temp work) this week and I have ANOTHER period.
Sorry I missed the chat last night, I really wanted to get on.
and I know that there is a depression-thyroid link, so maybe that's all it is...
I don't know! But I would appreciate it so much if any of you could keep me in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks for everything ladies, --Lisa!

Oh boy does your post sound like something I could have typed, LOL!!! We BOUGHT a pregnancy test b/c of the EXACT reasons you mentioned--I thought, MAN if I didn't know better I would swear I was pregnant--so since the period was almost a week late I got a test and it was negative!

It seems like ever since I've been taking birth control I've been out of sync. I tried depro-provera last summer to see if it would work well for me, and I was EXTREMELY emotional for the first 3 weeks, had ONE AWFUL period, then had lots of spotting throughout the three months, then as it tapered off I went through another bout of emotional-ness... plus my "high-school" acne came back with a vengence... grr.
Then I went on a birth control pill, but I was having heavy periods, lots of cramps--which is NOT normal when you are using birth control. So, I'm guessing my thyroid has probably had influence on my hormones and my cycle.
I've had a pelvic ultrasound and nothing looks funny there so that's good, no endometriosis, cysts or fibroids.
So we gave up on using hormonal birth control for now. My periods are getting better now. I think I'm going to study up on the natural forms of birth control, like following my cycle and all that.
I'm thinking maybe I might try some St john's wort or something. My husband feels sorry for me though when I get sensitive. I'm so thankful he's understanding, or at least attempts to comfort me be rather than treat me like I'm nutz or overreacting.
It is such a comfort to have a place to get support from other people who have been where I am or are going through it too, I love the support and comradarie we have here. Thank you so much! --lisa
