A member asked:
Im 42 and on levlen. always had a mon-fri period (for last 20yrs). last few months changed to very light and only a few days. trouble sleeping with bloating/weight gain. is this likely to be perimenopause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you have remained on a low dose oral bcp like "Levlen", normal ovarian cycles are absent, and you will not have symptoms related to "pre-menopause". The "insomnia and bloating/weight gain" may be due to more inactivity at age "42", and/or intestinal origins. See a GI physician for a consultation.
