Hi, as I say I'm 34, had a baby nearly 13 weeks ago via emcs. Since then I haven't recovered the way that I should, have loads of symptoms of peri, seen my GP who has run bloods which point to peri but going again on monday to discuss what's next. My mum stopped her periods at 40 (without any problems - lucky cow!) lol and my nan at 42 had my uncle and never had a period again. I don't want anymore children so going into peri doesn't bother me in that aspect its just everything else that does, I feel so unwell all the time and all I want is 'me' back so I can enjoy my boys and life.
Sorry to hear that you are not feeling so well. It will get better things will maybe you can discuss with your doctor about medications you can be on to help you deal with this.
Feel better and get some rest.
Welcome Klk34. Age does not mean much, we have many ladies here still in their 30's, but I just think it is weird that you just had a baby and are in peri. But as you said it happened to your grandma... Anyway, I think it can be related to hormonal umbalance because of the end of pregnancy (?)
Good luck there. Whatever happens, I hope it is easy for you.

Same here, first GP suggested that same thing, a hormone imbalance due to giving birth and then said I needed to see one of the other GP's in the practice as she is the 'expert' in hormones and contraception.
So had my bloods done and the report apparently suggests peri but seeing the GP again today to discuss face to face, I haven't had a period yet and my baby is 13 weeks tomorrow and bottle fed, I was 6 weeks post delivery when I had my first child so that in itself is unusual for me. Got internal shakes every morning which get me down and with the rest of the symptoms I just want to curl up and be left alone but can't. :-(
