Perimenopause - Warning TMI!

Just an update...went to the gyn and she did a pap, told me the pathologist might not be able to read it because there was too much blood up there (even though there wasn't any when I went to the restroom before and after the appointment, must just be hanging out up there.) Then told me she felt "something" small on the right side...whatever that means. I had blood drawn the following day, which is a whole other story and next week I go for an ultrasound.

As far as the libido question goes I've gone from about an 8-9 to a 2-3, which actually is fine for us/me.

Ugh; I sure hope it's nothing serious. Keep us posted. I'm glad you went to the doctor. I think it's important to recognize that while certain perimenopausal symptoms, like heavy bleeding, aren't uncommon, it's nevertheless important to consult a doctor to rule out other, less benign, causes.
