Cramping - just another perimenopause symptom?

Hi. Last summer I had the usual period cramps that tell me I'm due on shortly, but they came for two weeks before my period. Last month I had a 56 day cycle and I got the cramps about a week before I eventually started bleeding. I then bled for 13 days, had 2 days off and then started spotting for 3 days. I havent had any spotting for 2 days and if my period were to become regular again, 28 days from when I last started my period means it would be due next week. I have just today started with cramping.

Is this just another problem with the perimenopause?

 

I hope so. I'm pretty much the same.

thank you, it is so good to know I am not alone!

 

I used to be so regular. Now I don't have much of a clue apart from 7 days of spotting beforehand along with spotting after, irregular cycles, extremely heavy bleeding, low back pain and horrendously tender breasts!!! Being a woman is such fun!! Chin up Sentiholistics. It can only get better.
