Yeah. The issue with this is that more and more doctors are, in fact, putting perimenopausal women ON the pill (whether or not they were taking it before) because it helps with symptoms almost as much as HRT and carries a lot fewer risks.

So, I don't know what my natural cycle would be, although I'm no longer getting withdrawal bleeding every month. I've been on the pill for years to lighten up the heavy menstrual bleeding that runs in my family.
