I only started having periods again after years of absence when I started

taking thyroid, but I have rarely had pain.

WHen I was 14-15, they gave me several dnc's to try and curtail my bleeding

- It was often about 28 days out of the month. I would sometimes practically

be hemmoraging it seemed. They finally put me on birth control (Mom sure

loved that, LOL!) just to regulate my periods.

Does it all sound like I was hypo even back then?

What I'd like to know is: is a lot of clotting NOW a hypo symptom, or more a

symptom of getting closer to menopause.

SInce September I have gone up from 2 grains to 3 1/2 grains, and I must say

that there does not seeme to be much clotting this time.

I sorely do not want to go into menopause, and would like to think I might

be able to conceive. (I finally met a great guy...so I figure anything's

possible. Not sure I want a child, but hey....I would love to have the

chance at it) I am 48 though...49 on Dec. 16th.

You could have been.

The clotting was also a hypo symptom for me. I still have some (also near

menopause) but not at all like I've had for the last 10 years.
