hi, loving this forum, its so good to hear similar body/mind experiences! I am 47 and steralised 13 yrs ago. my periods are 28 days on the dot, however i have noticed them lasting less and are lighter. For years i have had problem periods. I am now over a week late-never ever has that happened other than my pregnancies. In anyones experience has this happened to them and been the start of their menopause? Did their periods just stop? I feel unsettled and have had achey joints, fuzzy head and at times just felt rubbish and off which ive thought has been the perimenopause? but now the lack of period when i could generally set my clock to it!
Hi Jo
My periods were every 28 days on the dot as well, like yours they started to become fewer and further between, sometimes they were scanty, sometimes heavy, my last period lasted six weeks then stopped completely ten years ago, so in my case they didn’t just stop.
I used to be 24 days every month, and since last October, there is no predicting it.
28 days, 32 days, 23 days, 36 days… it’s all over the place.
And mostly just spotting to very light bleeding… not heavy at all anymore. Still lots of other symptoms.
