Earlier in the year I persuaded my wife to book an appointment at the local Women's Health Clinic
after she started getting a bit over-anxious and frustrated
about increasingly irregular bleeding.

A very capable nice older woman Dr reassured her that everything tested well and ok for her age;
but to expect the unexpected as part of natures process from now onwards..

The Dr did suggest next time she has her coil changed
to consider one with long term hormone implants,
But i've forgotten what symptoms that would be supposed to help deal with.

Not too sure about that since she made a concious decision to get off the pill about 15 years ago,
and we're both very wary about interfering with our natural body chemistry.
[local cider doesn't count.. thats natural and good for you..]

Still, time will tell..
