Women's health stuff. WARNING

Do not read this if you are a person who is embarrassed, put off, unaccustomed, or in any way uncomfortable with talk about things like Aunt Flow, the Monthly Monster, Elevated Thermal Experiences, Hot Flashes, Uterus, Ovaries, etc...  Turn back now and I will not be offended.

To those that have continued on in this reading here is some wonderful results of a medical situation. Like many women I have had issues with fibroid and cysts.  Fibrosis have been present at least since my first son.  A couple of years ago my period, which had been spot on every 28 days, went crazy.  It disappeared for months on end and then came every other week for a while. The intensity of many were quite concerning.  So I went to a specialist that recommended ultrasounds every 6 months to monitor the situation.  We found a bunch of cysts on the ovaries and the fibroid hanging steady in size.   I knew I was not ovulating on time.  I could tell everything was off. I just did not want to be one of those women in their forties that find out they are 7 months pregnant.

Then there was the elevated thermal experiences  the ETE's for short.  At night or when having alcohol, they came on with  intensity and required time or submersion in the pool to get the heat out of me.   So I figured the beginning of menopause was upon me.   I was ready to get rid of the Monthly Monster.  Enough of that for the love of God.  I am not having any more children.

So then I started Sumit Hot Yoga.  I have  not had a hot flash since the first month of starting hot yoga.  My period has returned to its 28 day regularity for three months running. I am again aware of my ovulation.  As of this ultrasounds, I have no cysts, just a couple of good looking follicles as should be happening.   My biggest fibroid, that has been there for over 10 years has actually shrunk.  Yes, you read it right.   Shrunk.    YAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Now I am very excited to say that I feel that this is due to the detoxification of the hot yoga process.  While I will be very happy when Aunt Flow no longer comes around, it seems that 44 is not the point at which that will happen for me.   I certainly do not want any more babies, however I am actually quite excited to see my body working on cycle.  I feel linked with Mother Earth and on the path of healing.
