    This will be another excellent reference for people suffering some, or all of these symptoms. Until I started reading the questions, I was ignorant of the many, varied conditions, still am mostly, which can alter a woman's sexual health and have her searching for answers like this, which can help clarify the direction they should take for treatment.

     

    Just the variations in the menstrual cycle and possible causes confuses even the doctors, I think.  Missing a period raises so many possibilities! Your writing makes me curious of what your friends are doing to treat this and if it is helping. But then I realize, there is so much individuality to treatment and each patient's response to it, we can only try to improve or stabilize our health the best ways we can. 

    I'm really glad you are researching and writing these! They give information, hope and guidance.

    I have always had these symptons since I started menstruating and it was only two years ago at age 29 that I was diagnosed, and I have been on the pill again since then. Previous doctors always prescribed the pill to regulate my periods since my twenties but none had ever actually named the condition that I had. So like most people who get tired to taking the pill, I would stop taking it and my problems normally came back a year later. Now that I understand my condition and that this is the only available treatment option for me, I have decided to look after my health better and know that I will not just stop taking the pill. I do however, worry that I may have difficulties getting pregnant.
