Welp, I haven't had a period since last October and I went to the doctor this week and had my FSH done again, and, it was high. So my doctor thinks that is probably it and I won't have another period.

I can't tell if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Of course... never having a period again is an AMAZING thing. And I know this may put me at better odds of not having estrogen related cancers. Apparently the number of periods you have is related to risk of cancer. Under 415 puts you at the least risk and I got my period late. Almost 15 and got my last period at 48.

But it also doesn't seem great for all the other things that estrogen has a protective effect for... such as bone health and heart risk. I did just by a total gym to try to keep bone and muscle health strong.

I suppose the good news is that the only possible symptom I noticed was anxiety and some night sweats. But if this is it... it was blessedly easy.

Anyone have any thoughts on it?
