For most of the month....

...I bleed! Ever since I was told I was perimenopause my periods are erratic. Out of a 30 day month I bleed for maybe 25 of the days, some heavy, some really light but always a show. Does anyone else experience this or have done? Funny story I went for my smear test and they asked me the date of my last period and I said I'd like to know that too :-) thank you

I use vaginal ovestin estriol ovules .
Only occassionly i think they are fab,
And also the ovestin cream on outer bits and around vag entrance twice a week, it does replump and makes all my discomforts go .
Here in spain its called ovestinon and i think the ovules are not available everywhere, shame as they have a silky feel and are not messy white, they are soothing.
U can use them as little as you wish, as and when required,

Does anyone remember the debate in the UK to get the VAT dropped from sanitary towels? Remember some jerk (male of course: we probably only had one female in front line politics at the time, and she was our PM) stating that as there were 'alternatives' , this wouldn't ( and hasn't) happen. The 'alternative' choice we have apparently - wait for it - is using washable strips of cotton material!
Picture the scene: Victorian England. Bucket loads of strips of old sheeting soaking in cold salty water then swaying in the breeze on a high washing line in the backyard of a tenament slum. Nice! Oh we have moved on, haven't we?!!
Bet his wife would have loved that!!
Now gone full circle whereby we have to sit watching young chicks prancing around in next to nothing - all thanks to those flipping 'Wings'!!!!!
Can't wait to have to stop buying them . Money I'll save might buy me a new hip (oh I'm testy today!!)

Dya know what - when I read back some of my postings I make myself roll up! I sound like a Political Activist!!
Yep, I do love a debate, and am very opinionated (God knows hat I'd be like if I drank!?) but am completely reliant on my sense of humour to get me thought this!
Think I shouldy postings over the course of a month. I'll use this forum as my own version of the 'rhythm method' - but for the ups and downs of my moods!!
Yep, 'Its all about Eve' :-) !!

Note to Self: Practice what you Preach and Stop! Stop! Stop! sending posts from your Tablet!! Trouble is, when I read them back, they never look as bad as they print!! Bad enough that I've just referred to dinner as 'two large chimney breasts'......instead of the obvious!!!
