I have low BBT temps (low 96s before o, low 97s after), cold hands and feet, dry skin, highly irregular cycles (MAYBE I have 4 a year?), I have a bit of hair thinning at my temples, and just this week DH asked about me getting the hair on my upper lip lasered... =O) I don't usually get menstrual cramps or pms, and the periods when they do come are usually 5-7 days long and fairly light. (Although the last one I had was VERY heavy, lasted like 8 days at full, super-plus strength!)
What do you gals think is going on with my cycles? I started late, almost age 15 1/2, never was regular, then got put on birth control pills a year later and took them for 10 years. Had a baby, told to go back on bcpills to regulate my cycle, so weaned him at 12 months to do that for a few years. Was still irregular and ended up taking Clomid to get a cycle and it resulted in my cute twins.
Now for the first time ever, I'm leaving my body alone and trying to let it regulate on its own. But the twins are now 2 1/2 and I think I've had two ovulatory cycles. The last one was I think 45 days long. The one I'm on now is into day 70, and I've had three minor spotting episodes (seems to be after sex). Isn't that weird? Do you think I'm spotting because my lining is so darn thick from not menstruating? Isn't there an increased cancer risk if your uterine lining doesn't regularly shed?
I am still nursing the twins, but only 2-3 times a day, and they've been sleeping straight through the night now for a year at least. Most nursing moms I know get their cycles back as soon as the babies are sleeping through the night...
Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have.
