Ok everyone it's official. I am now 50! I can post in here without feeling unqualified!

My period is getting wonky. Sometimes it comes a week early and I only have to wear something like for a day. The cramping has gotten worse though, and I'm pretty sure I have endometriosis due to some other symptoms. Anyway, I'm going to ignore it because menopause should be headed my way.

But is the wonky periods to be expected?

Another question, given that I have fibroids and probably endometriosis, should I avoid any sort of hormone replacement? I don't want to make those things worse.
