Time will solve this problem and was the only thing that worked in my case. When I was 47 I stayed bloated with PMS symptoms for nearly 5 months, having periods spaced 2 weeks to 2 months apart! My breasts were so huge & painful that they felt like they might burst; I tried progesterone cream but it had no effect. But ~4 months after my last period (and a 2-year stall in fat/weightloss) the water and fat started falling off and I lost 60 lbs as I transitioned from peri to menopause.

Thankfully I kept LC even though I wasn't losing, otherwise I probably would have gained another 50 lbs.
