I'm turning 45 this year, and was just at the doctor last week for a physical. I told her that my cycle is now every NINETEEN days (yup - you read that right), and some months lasts 3 days, some 4 and others 5. No rhyme or reason. I am also having more frequent occurrences of ovarian cysts, and just found out today that my pap smear was slightly abnormal. Yay. Means I get to go in for another in 6 months (and did I mention that today I got to have an ultrasound for the cysts? And that it was external AND internal?) Double yay.

My doctor hasn't indicated perimenopause, but that the abnormalities are fairly normal "at my age" . Ah - the joys of being an aging woman...
