A few more questions...

It sounds like many of you don't have period related symptoms any more. Does this help reduce PMS?

The website mentioned 2 week recovery time - is that the case? If that's two weeks off the bike, it'd have to be in the off season.

What (if any) difference is there when menopause hits?

I'm looking for a solution to spotting. Periods are moderately heavy when off the pill, however even on the pill I have a mid cycle bleed; sometimes lasts half the cycle. My gyn is having me take extra estrogen to see if that helps, but isn't overly hopeful that it will resolve these issues.
