"Lasted 7.5mo started July 2015. First couple months spotted every couple of days and spotty acne started. Period was normal for Sept, but then was non-stop for all four weeks of Oct. Serious acne formed into rough patches all over my face. My hair thinned out to maybe half thickness. Doctor said this is all still normal because it's the first time in 13 years I'm without a daily estrogen dose so it's normal to have pregnancy-like symptoms. Normal period in Nov. Two week period in December, skin improving after help from dermatologist. January I had three separate instances of facial abscesses!! As in dime-sized open infections on my face!! Also, my January period lasted for 6 weeks until I had it removed in February. Awful cramps too!"
