First it was the carbs. Then it was stress. Then it was probably just your commute. One doctor handed me a thirty-page test panel with a pregnancy screening on it - for a woman who hadn't seen a period in over a year. I am confident I was not thirteen months pregnant.
Six years. Seven doctors. Zero answers. Meanwhile I was Googling car keys in the fridge, crying on a Spirit Airlines flight next to a stranger who did not sign up for that, and explaining to my husband why I suddenly smell like onions (he says onions, I say chives, we are at an impasse).
Turns out the whole time I just needed one nurse practitioner, one blood test, and someone to stop telling me I was fine. I was not fine. I was in full menopause - at 38, and nobody thought to check.
Maybe It's Menopause. A Period Piece. is the funny, occasionally unhinged true story of early menopause, medical gaslighting, and what happens when a woman's body goes completely rogue and the healthcare system just keeps shrugging. If you've ever been told you're fine and known - deep in your gut, right next to the bloating - that you were absolutely not fine, this one's for you.
Grab some wine. Or don't. It's probably hormonal either way.
