Months and months would go by, and occasionally when I had one it lasted a scarily long time. It gradually straightened out to clockwork in my 30's. I was worried I'd be infertile, but no. It's worth talking to the gyno about it while you're there, but all they ever offered me was birth control pills to basically fake a regular cycle.chinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-83469894483518408912010-08-07T18:48:41.183-04:002010-08-07T18:48:41.183-04:00Yeah, you might want to get that checked out.

But this is apparently a fairly unusual response: and no wonder, because it means I'm most horny when least fertile, and too grouchy for words when fertile.

Besides testosterone levels fluctuate in men over time. <br /><br />For women having too much testosterone is the symptom of a disorder called polycystic ovary syndrome. Another of the symptoms is irregular periods - so if you haven't been checked out for that Holly, you might want to talk to your doctor about it.<br /><br />Okay, I'm done sounding like the class know-it-all but it's kinda a pet peeve of mine. Hormones are good - but having MORE of them is not. :-PLissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04554401645505767023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-42166732809818005652010-08-07T12:05:44.506-04:002010-08-07T12:05:44.506-04:00If I exercise a lot (think three hours a night, si...If I exercise a lot (think three hours a night, six nights a week-- I was on a sports team and what was amazing was despite all that practice I didn't get any better), my period slows to about once every six weeks.<br /><br />Although one time when I was mostly sedentary it just stopped for four months, and then started up again.

Your last paragraph made me laugh (wryly)...there are some things about being female that are just plain odd sometimes for sure (and some that are really fucking cool). <br /><br />But holy shit...a spontaneously disappearing period? I'm envious. I have to make mine go away with my birth control method, and I love not having to bother/be inconvenienced. And think of the money saved not buying "feminine products!" :)Kaijanoreply@blogger.com
