So I'm 39 and having my second TOM in 3 weeks. WTF? Is it pre-menopause? I am serioulsy freaking out here. Not only for that, but because it's also screwing up my diet BAD.

    I had that happen to me once. It wasno big deal. I went in and had an ultrsound done in a very uncomfortable way and they found npthing. They thought it could be because I was working out alot.. .My grandma who is a nurse said it meant I was pregant (before I went to the doctor) but I wasn't. I would advise to call your doctor no matter what.

    My cousin said if she goes over too much on her iron regularly she tends to spot but not a full TOM thing. Of course then there is my mom from age 35 till a few years ago when menopause kicked in finally she had hers every 2 wks, the dr found no medical problems so let it continue on its own cycle :-O I hope I don't get like that I hate my TOM as it is

    changing your diet and exercise can affect your cycle. The first month after I started I had almost nothing and the months after it has actually gotten lighter then it used to be. It is your body having a WTF is going on moment.

    There does come a time, for honestly, ALOT of women, that you begin to develop fibroids on the uterus..not dangerous, but they create alot of bleeding, clotting etc...... can be controlled by birth control pills I believe...I just had a hysterectomy.....I had tons...and they like just come upon you quickly it seems!!!

    my mum had fibroids it was her TOM for 28 days out of 30, she had a scrape and a coil fitted and it worked really well, both were done as brief day surgeries. best thing is just see your doctor :)

    I've had my cycle every 21 days since my mid 30s. I do have fibroids and am finally getting my hysterectomy in June. I can't wait to be done with this nonsense.
