I've been pretty consistent with my cycle prior to the last four months. As I look over my calendar now, since October of 2021, my cycle has been all over the place: 23 days, 31 days, 28 days, 18 days, and now it'll be 38 days tomorrow since I've had my last period. I don't mind missing the period for that long, though I don't like how it now just comes at all different times,...have to always be prepared. I'm 46 years old. I'm kind of happy on one hand,...just don't want to experience these mood swings and weird sleep patterns on and off. I can even deal with THAT, but the way I hear people talk about those sweats,...I hope I NEVER experience THAT (I hear some people don't,...I hope I'm one of them).

Hi Charlene what birth control pill were you taking. I'm on minesse for over 10 years. Dr. said I must take it till I reach menopause.

[@decaftumbler]

Hey Charlene! A popular IUD nearly "got me". Thankfully my doctor understood it was an emergency-she insisted it was a battle of hours. She did admit docs were and had been discouraged to believe the iud could cross the brain barrier. 🧠 Bless the women who have a great time with it, and bless the docs willing to listen to their patients despite being told "it can't happen." Of course anything could do this to a certain person, but I encourage medical peeps to listen to patients stories. They get buried on the search engines but many "groups" on fb. Totally not against successful meds, I'm pro open minded docs.:)

This was great. thank you. I'm about to turn 37. Since the end of last year I've developed pmdd. My periods always come a few days early now and have done so for a few years. I have high dhea-s. I'm on the birth control patch but I hope to get on a low dose combo pill soon. My estrogen/progesterone ratio showed me estrogen dominant.

She just says my levels look fine and takes my early periods as nothing. There is definitely something going on. Intense anxiety, depression making me want to off myself, night sweats, severe tension during ovulation and swelling in my neck and bone pain. My mother was in menopause by 45.

i'm 41, for the first time this month i have 2 periods in one month, i got my regular period on 12 april and it lasted until 17 april, the blood was lighter then usual and no cramps (sometimes i have cramps during periods and sometimes i dont, and usually my periods cycle is between 24 to 27 days). Then on 27 april i started bleeding again with cramps, only 15 days after the first day of my last period (12 april), im still bleeding when i write this comment (28 april). I''m really worried, this never happened before, not even when i was teenager, is this perimenopause or is there other cause?

[@naomimay82]

Get it checked out!! I am 40. I recently started spotting a day or two when I ovulate, but I am not getting extra periods. After my son was born I was doing a lot of bleeding and having lots of periods. It was my thyroid. It was all out of wack. Hypothyroidism causes you to become estrogen dominant and then have extra periods.

Perimenopause started in my late 30’s and it was H$&@. I had all the symptoms to the 10th power. I had to change my diet, stop drinking alcohol, take daily walks, lift weights, and drink herbal tea to manage the pain and flooding of my cycle. I am now 49 and have not had a cycle since 10/21 and no more pain, but I still have night sweats, hot flashes, and crying spells. I am heading towards Menopause (or my fibroids shrunk) which I don’t mind because the pain and the heavy bleeding and clots are gone.

You’ve given me hope. I have fibroids as well and my periods are HELL. I’m not sure when I started perimenopause but I know I’m in it. I haven’t skipped any periods yet but they’re irregular and just all over the place. I just turned 49 in March and can’t grasp why I’m still getting a period or why I haven’t even skipped a month yet. It just has me miserable. My mom and 2 older sisters stopped at 48 and research showed mine would too but it’s still coming. Can you give me a few of your symptoms you were having before it stopped? Did you skip months before it stopped or it just stopped on the 10/21?

I just turned 51 years old and I think I am experiencing perimenopause symptoms. My gynae found fibroids since five years ago in my uterus. Last year, these fibroids grew significantly, the largest one is 9 cm in diameter, coupled with a few around 6 to 4 cm. My gynae was of the view of removing them as they may have the possiblity to developing to cancer. However, I have read that with menopause, fibroids will strink and if they do not bother me, I can leave them alone. Do you have any advise on this issue?

[@kellykellssz]

I have fibroids too and my Dr said once you go through menopause (meaning no more periods) then they will shrink but while you’re transitioning your estrogen levels RISE (which help them grow) and decrease. So as long as you’re transitioning they could be growing when your estrogen is up. I’m 49 and know I’m transitioning but don’t know when this crap will stop so every 6 months I see my GYN to check the growth of my fibroids.

@@starlite7785 oh i missed my period for 3 months straight, then i got it, then missed it for another 4 months straight before i got it again last week. Who know when my next period is going to be??? Lol

[@kristineschilling6917]

but... why do we do hormone replacement therapy? Once we hit menopause, its the natural cycle, why do we prolong it? Yeah, the symptoms suck, while they last? (i say this as a 45 yr old just starting to see perimenopause)

[@sexygabby30]

Lots of women are suffering thus the reason why the uterus has to be taken. Hormone replacement is the better road. It may even stave off having that procedure. It’s not just as easy as stating “ OH YOUR HAVING SYMPTOMS AND YOU DEAL WITH IT “ type of thing nowadays or over the last 60 yrs when you are affected to the point you can’t even be productive that is never a normal transition. So that’s why unfortunately.

How did you know at 38? I’m 37 and I have gained so much weight out of nowhere and I have severe insomnia and mood swings

[@ohcarolina8671]

@@kristymarie6065 yep, insomnia was my very first symptom, then came difficulty in losing weight. So I would say, it's time to keep an eye on potential symptoms... Don't get obsessive about it, just start being more observant and see a doc if they get harder to cope with. Good luck.
