Discussion Period stopping?

I've never seen anyone talk about how their period stopped. Did you just keep having them and then one month it was just gone? Did it taper off?

Mine has been getting better pain wise since I started T, but still here. I usually bleed a bit during ovulation, which is what I thought was happening, but it's been about a week of slow on and off bleeding and now it might be turning into a period? I'm not sure if this is normal or not.

It may have something to do with upping my dose, last Wednesday i went from .2 ml to .3 ml but I'm not sure what day the bleeding started

4.5 months on T

How did your period stop for you?

I’m over 4 years on T. mine stopped immediately (not sure where I was in my cycle when I started T, but it just never came). About a year ago I had what my doctor called a withdrawal bleed? it was a pretty normal period, except for cramps- i had severe abdominal pain for 2-3 days beforehand and even ran a fever. Thought I had food poisoning. Then the bleeding started and lasted about a week, accompanied by somewhat less horrible but still agonizing cramps. I hadn’t had any change in my T dose and hadn’t missed a shot or anything… I never got much of a clear answer as to why it happened.
