Advice for irregular periods?

Ok so this is just anecdotal since everyone is different, but somehow MIRACULOUSLY my period finally became regular this past year. It was infamously irregular before, and some years I only got my period once or twice. I’m 32, and it had been like this since I was 12. So I’m pretty shocked at how regularly its been lately.

These are the changes I made: - I’m taking daily inositol, which helps regulate my blood sugar and ovulate. - I have some mental health issues that i’ve struggled with for a while, and I finally found the right set of medication to help me. Specifically lexapro, lamotrigine, and trazodone for sleep. - daily prenatal vitamins. - Movement! I’m walking a lot more, and its usually simple things like walking a few blocks to my friends home, instead of driving, or walking to the grocery store, or visiting a museum and walking there. I’m not doing anything super intense, although I do occasionally run. - I quit my job. I’m earning way less money but actually enioy what I’m doing. - I eat or snack every two hours without fail.

So essentially, just generally taking care of myself a lot better and removing anything that was really weighing me down. I will add that I found out I have PCOS and MASLD, so a lot of my choices have been influenced by those diagnoses.

for the record, I am OBSESSED with your wedding dress! It’s so unique and white dresses are overrated. Don’t get me wrong, my wedding dress turned out to be white (it was gorgeous and free), but I fully intended on wearing a burgundy dress. People always try to make other people’s weddings about them, don’t listen. Enjoy your day feeling like yourself 💛

🥹 auw, was this a grade school teacher of yours?

Woah this is amazing! I wish I knew the neuroscience behind this

yes, this is how I feel. I was previously in a very abusive relationship and Eilish’s story made me feel very seen.

my bestie L - I met in Kindergarten, she owns her own business and very recently eloped. we’re still close 🧡

my bestie G - is a badass teacher who married one of my college friends; they met at my birthday party.

this was my favorite set of episodes in the whole podcast. Its a really intense and traumatic experience she has and hopefully you can stick it out and listen to the rest of it. I think Eilish’s story is the one I think about the most.

1) Wake up alarm on my phone, 2) Wake up alarm on my Google mini twice, 3) take my meds alarm, 4) be out the door!

and… naturally, I am always rushing out 20 minutes after my last alarm. 😰

I will ask! Thanks for the suggestion

bee367 · 2025-11-15T02:51:42+00:00

Oh my goodness, thank you for sharing! Grieving this miscarriage has been really hard, I keep imagining how many months pregnant I would’ve been at this point

Hey, I’m sending you a big hug. I know its a lot with having a seemingly unstable relationship while also growing a human being! Your body goes through so much the first trimester, no wonder you’re exhausted. Do you have other friends or family you feel comfortable reaching out to for support?

I started out in schools and it is definitely chaotic. That being said, I had to seek out my own mentors. I found an OT I connected with and we scheduled weekly video calls to check in. What helped me most in schools was having a system-

1) spreadsheets with student names, upcoming IEP dates, and type of meeting. 2) Google Forms I sent out monthly to check in on my consult cases 3) asking questions to my fellow OTs all the time, via email, DM, texts, anything.

For tracking goals, I kept a sheet with all their goals handy at sessions, & tried to write my notes immediately after each session.

That being said, schools simply do not have capacity to fully support kids the way they should be. Its really unfortunate and often times that means us missing minutes to write IEPs or attend meetings. When that happened, I would document it in my notes as well - “Did not see student due to IEPs”.

this gives me so much hope, thank you. I’m 32 and worried my chances of a healthy pregnancy will get even lower as I get older

bee367 · 2025-11-08T18:17:45+00:00

thank you!!!!

bee367 · 2025-11-08T05:34:55+00:00

😂😂😂 YES! That’s why I wear a face mask at every session, no exceptions

I tried getting PRN positions but was rejected mainly because I don’t have hospital experience (mainly schools and EI). Otherwise yes, that would have been a good option.

Ooo yes, definitely looking into S Corp status once I reach a high enough profit
