I was scared the very first time I had a very heavy period which lasted for more than fifteen days. I went to the doctor and she told me I had a certain condition ( I don't want to go into details here) which had something to do also with hormonal imbalance. I shared this with some friends only to find out they also knew of other women who also had it. Do you know of somebody who also have a similar condition? Do tell.

I've just recently found out that i have hormonal imbalance as well.. My period didn't come for about 7 months! it's a first for me and i thought it was only due to stress and lack of sleep.. We've had so many paperworks and deadlines, it's really exhausting both physically and mentally.. anyway, my friends suggested i see a doctor, I took their advice and that's when i found out about it.. It's a blow in the face and the doctor said some stuff which bothered me.. Anyway, I'm taking medications which would last up to six month.. I pray that after six months, evrything would be back to noraml..

I really do hope so. My is the complete opposite. I'd have heavy periods which would last for weeks. I had to take some medications for it too but it made me gain weight.

Yes.. I heard it before, it seem like happens to most women. People will change to hot temper and get angry easily once hormonal imbalance. Sometimes is because of under pressure in quite a long period. It may affect to our hormonal!

yes i do know about it.. it happens to most women, we experience hormonal imbalance at times due to different reasons like stress.. like when we have late periods or very heavy ones it is due to hormonal imbalance..or those that have lapses in their period have these..

Good to know that you're well informed about it. Stress really wrecks havoc with our system.
