@ Beth Rags, thank you so much for sharing all of what you did. It was very helpful and reassuring to me. I do want to find a good support site for women going through perimenopause/menopause. Do you have any recommendation(s)? I looked around online a bit, but didn't find a good one. Maybe I'm googling the wrong search terms?

I am on day 10 of this most recent menstrual period. I will say that it has wound down enough that I think today will likely be the last day, for now. I do hope I get a reasonable break from this!

Would you believe that my gynecologist's office left a vmx for me yesterday saying that my doctor is suddenly out of the office on the day I had an appointment? So now I have to get a new one. I thought next Thursday seemed a long time off. Now it will likely be even further into the future. I do have an appointment with her on June 18 for a, hopefully, in-person "routine" appointment. We'll see if/when that happens. I'm long overdue for my mammogram, too.
