yeah, my spotting could have been due to my body deciding it didn't want to create estrogen anymore. :P

It really does sound to me like you've got it, and I'd definitely see a doctor. Tell them you've got a friend who has it and is convinced that you do to.

I'm thinking that a GP should be fine if you're comfortable talking about it them.
My doctor also performed the "women's wellness exam" on me, so she was apparently in the know about this sort of thing. I'm thinking that if you make sure to write everything down that you're going through around your time (pretty much everything you've said here!) and show them the list that they'd be able to see that something is up in hormone land and hopefully have some useful info.
I'll definitely be doing some more research too and will report back anything I can find out.

Let Justin know what you think is going on and assure him that you want to get it checked out. You can tell him that Beck and I went through a very similar time not so long ago. He pretty much tried to brush off most of my nastiness, and I tried to avoid human contact as much as possible until things started to even out and get back to 'normal'.

you've been immensely helpful issmonster. i need to get this under control before people die, lol. it helps to have someone close to me that's gone through it to give me pointers, so many of my medical anomalies i've been the only person i know to have it or they're rare so even the doctor doesn't know what to tell me to expect, it's nice to have support :).
