hey ladies me again.
i went to the pharmacy today to get something for my anxiety. i told the pharmacist about all my symptomes and he told me i a to young to be in perimenopause, i am 41. he also said that a pelvic scan can't tel if a women is in perimenopause or menopause.
this is what i wrote in a previous post, what do you ladies think.
I am 41 and in peri from the beginning of the year, but i think a lot longer. my periods were always regular but for the last 5 years they became very heavy with lots of clots and then a lot of days with spotting. now for 2
monthes it was heavy for 1 day with clots and then spotting. This month it was not heavy at all with no clots but the spotting is still there.
lots of love
nonnie

Hi Nonnie,
What a load of old rubbish, I've just had a pelvic scan and I was told I'm in the perimenopause due to the thinning of the uterus wall, but she could also tell that I'm not yet in the menopause because I have follicles on my ovaries which indicates that they are functioning. he probably got his degree off the back of a Cornflake packet.
Sounds like he is book quoting, how old is he?
Quote from healthline
"Therefore, if a physician believes that menopause does not occur until sometime in a woman’s 50s and that the transition period is only about 2 years, then it is not difficult to understand how and why so many women are told they are not in perimenopause when they are in their 30s and early 40s.
However, if we keep with the law of averages, the average age a woman enters perimenopause is sometime in her mid-40s. Barring some other physical illness which should be ruled out if at all possible, if you are in your mid to late 30s or even in your early 40s and you are exhibiting what you believe are symptoms of perimenopause, then you are very likely entering perimenopause."
Note the words if believes and average, no-one knows you better than you..
Hi Nonnie
I had a vaginal scan two weeks ago, was shown my ovaries on screen, and told i had reached menopause now ( and i am one year no periods ) he showed me my ovaries said they were non functioning .. No follicles... said my uterine wall was menopause and 4mm.. And even said it will thin a little more yet..
So that man knows diddly shi*

LOVE THIS best laugh of my week Jay,ashtray on a motorcycle ,I'll keep that one up my sleeve for sure ,my cousin will find it funny.
I've heard of girls going into meno at 19 yrs old,most men talk rubbish,like I'd be expert on a mans prostrate,think not.xx
Corn flakes box ,that's a good one to Kerry by the way my daughters name,spelt the same.shes 43 yrs,and meno,early days.
Men I shake my head at rubbish coming out of their mouths.what do they know? Zilch for most of them.
Reminds me of a bus driver friend who, when annoyed by incompetent drivers, tells them they shouldn't even have a TV licence 
Very good Taz ,I love the quick witted retorts people fire at idiots.
Just been on my tinnitus site,this ticked me

I am going to see a female gp tomorrow but i am afraid it would be a waist of time. all they wany to do is blood test and it is going to come back normal. again.
Hi Nonnie
what type of blood test ... jay xx
Hi Nonnie
cant you ask for an ultra sound check all okay..
put your mind at rest..
an FSH blood test ( if you still have regular periods) will come back normal, its not until periods decline to approx just 4 a year that menopause is picked up...
My first ine came back normal and Doc said i was in peri.
i last had an FSH blood test in 2011 which stated approaching menopause .. And still took 3 years after that to get to full meno..
i was in peri since from age of 41-41 amd i am 50 now .
but good luck, ask for an ultra sound..
