Hi gravity, I am about to be 56 as of next week. And yes, the doctor mentioned hysterectomy if there was any cancer found, but I had told her I was good with that even if cancer wasn’t the case, but random bleeding issues kept happening. Why would I want to wait for something to be cancer when I can have it handled ahead of time? She agreed with that logic, but after the 2nd hysteroscopy being negative, she said she didn’t think any intervention was needed. Also, this bleeding isn’t heavy, it’s like a very light period day and then tapers off. It’s just the unpredictability of it that is getting me anxious. As well as always wondering… is it suddenly going to get worse. I’m a super anxious person and all of this has made that worse.

I understand the need to lose weight, it is actually the root cause of the majority of my health issues, which are all being amped up in this last year. I have to get serious about it, but it’s so hard. I live alone, and hate cooking, so my downfall is always ordering. But lately I’ve been trying to keep that to a minimum and even ordering better options, cutting out some things and so on. I’m on Metformin since Late March, and I have Ozempic which I’m supposed to start but I have so much going on with this health issue (and others with my breast but that’s another discussion). For what it’s worth, I was at my heaviest last October at 260, and actually these last few months (probably due to Metformin), I am now 251.

On top of all this, I’ve been out of work since October (literally when all this started happening as well). So I have job hunting to the mix. I’m sure stress is also involved in some of this, but I don’t know how it could cause actual physical symptom like on and off spotting. Also, I have read that Metformin can cause heavier periods in some women. This isn’t a period as I’m post meno, but it just seems odd to me. The doctor doesn’t think it could be the cause.
