Don't think I can do the diet & a ?

How about buying the meal plan? That way you don't have to count, just follow along. If you can't do that, then focus on these crucial points:

-eating smaller portions
-eating as low fat as possible
-replace butter with 100% vegetable margarine, ideally from canola oil (soy, sunflower, safflower are next best)
-no red meat
-no cereal or other highly fortified foods
-no oats

Just do the best you can in each area and remember every bit helps.

I have always had a light and short AF but on the LE diet it became even lighter and shorter over time so that's a normal response. Your cycles getting shorter is not uncommon at your age but I'd try to get some Femara just in case it hrlps egg quality (theoretical) and to help your pink sway.

Is Femara OTC or prescription?

Prescription and it can be hard to get, unfortunately.

Not likely, then. I don't have a regular dr. Just a walk-in clinic dr. who keeps bugging me to find someone else.

Has s/he TRIED to get a real doctor these days? It's IMPOSSIBLE. My son needed a doctor for something relatively serious (cancer scare) and they told him he couldn't get in for a YEAR. No one was taking new patients. He ended up going to a "doc in the box" and seen in 30 minutes after 2 months of wrangling with insurance companies and every dr. office in a city of a half a million people. :/

Seriously drs are over loaded especially in the US, so many drs won't take new patients. And I paid out of pocket, no insurance! Bc of my pain I can't make appointments, I can only do walk in drs. It's a pain, I have to drive aways. I can't imagine if I had 4 kids!

It's only since the new healthcare took effect, we never had any problem before. :/ I so wish we would have gotten a family doctor before it all kicked in but we didn't know that the side effect would be that suddenly no doctors would take appointments.
