Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Dear , I can't say if your frequent periods are related to EDS or not. Did the Gyn Dr. check the blood levels of your female hormones? Estorogen, FSH and one othere I can't remember. If he didn't ask him to. Sometimes if you are perimenapausal they can put you on low dose birth control pills to regulate your periods. But you need to get it documented first. If he won't check your hormone levels, then I would suggest getting a second opinion, preferably from a female GYN. Your emotional rollarcoaster may be related to insufficient hormone levels. But several things must be checked out. Blood hormone levels as I said, possibly a pelvic sonogram and a uterine biopsy to make sure nothing else sinnister is going on. Good Luck! Sincerely, S. looking for answers Hello My name is and I have a friend who had referred me to this group a while ago. Her name is Lana. I posted a message and received some replies, THANK YOU, I am going to post this message again in hopes that maybe I can find some more answers to my problem. I have had irregular periods for 7 years now and they steadily get worse. I sometimes have two or more within a months time. Is this related to EDS? I have some of the other symptoms as well but this is the most troubling for me to handle. I have been to the Gynocologist and all he tells me is that I may be going through an early menopause, I somehow don't beleive him. My emotional rollarcoaster of emotions, etc are horrible to handle. If this is related to EDS is there a certain type of doctor I need to be trying to go to? I want to thank you now for taking the time to read my message and I hope you may be able to help me with some answers. Thank you again.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 , I agree. If you are perimenapausal (or pre-menapausal) this can go on for some time and you may very well need to see another doctor. I believe 's sugestion of finding a women doctor is good because often the guys just don't get it. I don't know how old you are, but there are things that can be done. So hormone levels, pelvic sonogram and uterine biopsy all would be things your doc should be talking to you about. I went on low dose birth control pills when I was 43 and it helped a lot but first you need to rule out anything more serious. Good luck!
