Hello ladies:
I have been visiting this forum for a couple of months now. I decided tort you know my story and get your honest opinions.
I am 44 years old and have 3 teenage boys. I had my tubes tied when I delivered my last one, 14 years ago. My last 4 periods have been lighter and shorter than usual and noticed that my breasts and belly are growing and more sensitive. My clothes fit fine except for my pants that won't close. I have done hpt's every month and they are negative except for when I dilute the urine they turn out faint but very obvious positive. I went to the doctor and of course their urine and blood test are negative. He says I'm probably going thru peri menopause and that's why I'm experiencing all these symptoms. When I mentioned that hpt (always use first response) is positive when diluted he says it doesn't make sense because hpt pick up the hormone when it is most concentrated. I have lower back pain. Pinching and discomfort in my pelvis that comes and goes. Can't stand certain foods but over indulge on other things I would not normally eat. Have a metallic taste and also getting frequent headaches. But what worries me the most is my pants that won't zip up and very soon I won't be able to hide my bulging belly anymore. I have tried not eating for days and don't feel any change in my belly, it just keeps bulging. I have a very active life and exercise every day. What do you think is going on with me? I feel so depressed and embarrassed of my belly that no running or exercise seems to help. I just want to read your honest opinions or suggestions. Thank you all..
