i am a midwife so i am a "little" more informed. i would definitely ask for an u/s if your doc hasn't suggested it yet, but i would also ask for labs including TSH, free T3, T4, FSH, LH, progesterone levels. seems to me that should have already been done. definitely agree with fibroids/endometriosis ruling in or out. have you ever tried progesterone cream? not that it will straightened out your periods, but will definitely help regulate your hormones. 23 days is a very long time. i'd call her again and make sure you get your hemoglobin checked and possibly add some iron depending on your levels.

Sounds like he's messing with your head
He's manipulating you, Typical ploy to shift the blame onto you and confuse your reality, typical of a guilty man to get angry and shift to the offensive. Who is HE to tell YOU how to feel? First he takes control of the money by lying and hiding things from you, then he's trying to control your feelings about being manipulated. They say a house divided against itself cannot stand. The big picture is very bad - if its OK to lie to you about this, then what else is coming? The more of this you accept and continue to put up with, the further he will go.
I left mine because I simply refuse to live this way, and I'm sure many others felt the same. If you can't trust your partner, why do you want them for a partner? If he can't respect you enough to be truthful with you, what he is in the relationship for? Figure out what the root of the problem is - does he need someone in his life to pull one over on to feel good about himself? If so, why are you willing to be the one? Can you continue to respect him even though he doesn't respect you?
Its like you're asking us permission to feel the way you do. Any feeling you have is valid - don't let him convince you otherwise. If you feel the situation is intolerable, it IS. Trust your gut and your own feelings - you should know better by now than to trust HIM.
Should be "not just use bcps..."

You are misinformed except the BCPs for the most part.
To the OP--have you been checked for declining beta hCG to make sure it is completely out of your system? With a D&C, I would imagine after this time that it would be less than 5, but stranger things have happened.
Anyway, There are many, many reasons for miscarriages not to survive, one of them being the baby having genetic issues incompatible with life. Women miscarry normal children as well because of abnormal anatomy in the uterus unknown by the mother, hormonal issues (namely low progesterone, but this remains controversial), an incompetent cervix, poor implantation, placental issues (the reason for my miscarriage), et cetera.
The lining thing? One of the ways BCPs work is to keep the lining down hormonally anyway before eventual shedding during the period. Therefore, there would be less buildup of the lining than would happen during messed up cycles where the lining may be full-blown developing but without the body letting it go. This is not good.
She has had miscarriages. She will now worry during her pregnancy because she knows what can happen no matter what anyone says. We cannot tell her not to worry; that is not helpful to her. That is trivializing losing her pregnancy and baby.
Oh, I would have thought precautions, as in BCPs
not something pure looney. That is responsibility, not getting pregnant at 16. Ridiculous.
I have normally around menstrual cycle..
I do not drink enough milk and have to dose up around that time of the month. Helps with the aches and pains.
How do I break this cycle?
I admit I have spoiled my furbabies (3 cats) with treats and now I have to pay the piper so to speak. The furries are worse than children. As I sit at my desk working during the day they come and they meow and they meow and, well you get the idea. When husband is off, they are very quiet and do not approach my work space. How in the world do I break them from this addiction to the treats they have? If I shut my door they just meow outside the door so that is no help. Any suggestions? .
Be careful of the cycle. He is in the gift mode.
I think if you go on the net to Harbor House Orange County, Florida you will see the cycle. Please go there and read up. But do erase the history and cookies that go there. So he does not find out. I believe the cycle of abuse chart is there as well. Be careful...
Started my cycle a month before my 11th birthday.
I'm now 47 and still having regular cycles. My mom and grandmother had similar histories. Ten years old is still within the norm.
Back in the day, when I first started, feminine hygiene products were pretty limited. We had pads and belts and the old Tampax that looked like cotton lollipops on sticks. Everything was awful! I had a kit that was given to us at the 5th grade "girl talk". My mom just went and bought me more giant, thick pads. Awful things! By 6th grade, on my own, I decided to buy and use tampons, and I've done so ever since.
Sit down with your daughter and have a candid talk. It's ok to tell her that you feel uncomfortable and know that she does, too, but you'll both get through it. Years from now, she will appreciate that you helped her! (My mom was a total mess with me, and she still gets embarrassed at the mere mention of anything female.) There are a lot of products sized for younger girls, and you should show them to her and talk about them with her. She's probably young for tampons, but tell her about them, too. At some point in the future, depending on her maturity and how comfortable she is, she can try those. As I said, I used them from 6th grade on. The only time I've used pads since was right after I gave birth. I think tampons are one of the greatest inventions of all time!
Be patient. Be honest. You'll do fine.
you all should also teach your girls about their cycle and how ovulation coincides with timing for p
i truly believe if young girls know how to chart their cycles and that there was only that 3-4 day period a month that they could get pregnant, teenage pregnancy would drop. ovulation falls basically in the middle of the no period cycle, which is the time most girls would be more likely to have sex to start with thus why you hear of so many girls getting pregnant having sex only one time. face it, they are gonna do it so help teach them as a mother to chart their cycles, protect themselves, and avoid those few days.
Hormones
I have heard the same thing about the hormones and additives in the dairy products especially. Braum's and Shepp's milk are the 2 that I know of that supposedly have none of the hormone additives. My daughter is 9 and drinks milk/eats cereal almost every day, so I try to always buy these. She is physically mature (starting to wear bras because of her little buds showing), but she is emotionally immature for a 9-year-old, so I really hope we still have a while for this to happen!
The hormones you would have to take to SM
facilitate surrogatehood at 40 or even sooner, would put you at high risk for cancer later on. Or even shorter on.
I personally find it immoral to sell babies and that's what it is. JMO.
I think my hormones are crazy
and would love to do something about them. I am guessing the poster below who said the levels change too much is probably right.
I sure would love to get rid of the depression and brain fog I often get though!
I would rather guess it has to do with the hormones....sm
maybe excessive estrogen or progesterone or testosterone.
A kind of imbalance between the hormones.
Is she on a sort of birth control?
My hormones rule my personality
and I'm tired of it also. I have many problems with ovarian cysts, etc. I believe if you have problems like these, it is worse. I never know what kind of mood I'll be in, and neither does anyone else :) One minute I can be laughing and the next I'll be screaming in anger. There are a lot of natural things out there they say help, I have not tried any but may do that soon. Here's just one article I found....

Goofed up hormones after a miscarriage...sm
I have had 2 miscarriages over the past 1-1/2 years, the last being in January. Both times I had a D&C. The first time I got my period right back within a month and stayed on my normal track for periods, which I've been having for 25 years now and are calendar regular. Now since the 2nd miscarriage and D&C (at 11-1/2 weeks of pregnancy) my hormones have been crazy. I didn't get a period for 3-1/2 months and that was only after they gave me progesterone to induce it. Then I started the next month on time, followed by periods every 2 or 6 weeks, no regularity at all now.
Anyone else have a hard time with their hormones just bouncing all over the place and the body not understanding what to do with regularity anymore? My OB/GYN says this doesn't happen very often but isn't concerned yet and since I'm trying to get pregnant again I don't want to go on BCPs.
Their hormones will get to them long before the marriage bug will. nm

I worry about hormones being regulated - did you (sm)
have any problem with that? How long was your recovery? Thanks
Yes it is normal, your hormones are readjusting -sm
from being pregnant, your body is in overdrive to make milk, etc. I never really had any of those issues luckily as I could not breast-feed (body would just not make milk with either of my pregnancies) so I had to make formula every day, sterilize bottles, nipples, etc. Fun process to have to do every darn day. You may have returned to work too soon, give yourself a chance to be with the baby, the first six weeks is an adjustment on everyone's part. With my first child though my DH would take one night a week of feedings so I could have a night off, you need to make a similar arrangement, lack of sleep will definitely make you loopy. Many times he would come home from work and I would lay down on the couch with my daughter (when she was just a month or two old or so) and zonk out with her while he made dinner (he'd cook, I'd clean up). ---go talk to your doctor about your mood swings and find out if they are extreme enough for meds, while breast feeding you may not be able to take anything possibly or if they have any suggestions that may make your life easier that maybe you have not thought of. Find a healthy way to relieve some stress, whether it is going outside and screaming your lungs out (my favorite) or cleaning, do what makes you feel better and burns off some stress.
Bioidentical hormones -DHEA cream, ever used it?
Yes, perimenopause is here (yipee, huh?)! I am looking into bioidentical hormones as opposed to things like BCPs (which I have not taken in years). I am looking at being on a program of progesterone cream and DHEA at the moment from a doctor who deals with a compounding pharmacy. The side effects sound a little scary, but there are side effects for everything, right? Has anyone else used DHEA? Tell me the good, the bad, and the ugly...
Normal. I think jealousy is involved & also that his hormones are starting
s
Is she on BC pills? Hormones may be contributing now. Tested for food, gluten, other allergies? nm

Are you on hormones? Tried oil supplements into your diet? Flax seed oil? Coconut oils? Research
