Menopause is awesome. I officially reached that milestone six months ago. Happy dances!

For me, the last few years were fraught with OTT bleeding. I had more transvaginal ultrasounds than fingers on a hand, a really painful uterine biopsy, and eventually some relief with a medication that slowed down excessive menstrual bleeding: tranexamic acid. A++ stuff.

ALso, almost no migraines anymore after nearly monthly visitations.

But for me, perimenopausal didn't really start until I was 50, so definitely keep pursuing all options to keep you feeling less Hulk-ish and more human overall. It is important even as it gets pushed back in our own warped priority list.
