    Yes to all of it. My periods are heavy every 21 days and I spot in between. I bleed more days of the months than not. I went to OBGYN who dis an internal ultrasound. She said, "Sometimes things get worse before they get better." And, that was it. It feels like a mild flu for months on end.

    I am 47, just before my period stopped 1 year ago, it was coming every 18 days and was so heavy, I had to wear a depends adult diaper to bed. I recently went to the gynecologist and had my hormones tested. I was told my estrogen level was almost zero. The last several months, I have been waking up every morning with Flu Like feelings as well as aching muscles/joints. I couldn't take it anymore, I ordered some Bioidentical Estradiol/Estriol and almost overnight, I felt so much better.
