Hi simjack

hard to say...  Normally you would have some symptoms early peri, like night sweats and hot flushes... From mild to severe, we are all different..

Periods do vary and do become irregular.. prolonged or sparce, heavy and light, and spotting sometimes... Then they decline from the average 12 per year to missing some each year until meno reached on average after a full year of no periods..

stress can effect your periods if your not in peri and of course pregnancy ..

Check at what age your mum and aunts were,good indication always .

  If you've no children,you can go into menopause up to 5 years earlier.

go and get meno sticks of Amazon ,or big chemist shop,do test yourself.

   Get things sorted as best you can,get on these B Vits as Jay mentions ( I've started on them this week)sooner the better.your be to and from Drs forever with meno symptoms,all ladies on site will tell you this, take starting to look after you now if you feel not right.

I started peri at 35 so it is possible.

Hi Jayneejay,

Thanks for your advice. 

I had the urine and blood test. both were negative. 

I had very regular cycle of 28 days but past a year it has beecome very irregular. sometimes I get them in just 20 days and sometimes around 30 days. This time got it after 49 days. The flow is not norma its just spotting. Today is the third day of spotting. 

Do I need to worry about it???

My Mum had very heavy bleeing before menopause. She hit menopause at the age of 55.

Hi,simjack

in my peri first i bled for 21 months 😥 from heavy to normal to spotting to light with out a break it was constant variation... Fainted 3 times ..

but as my 9-10 year peri progressed, i skipped a few each year but steadily, I seemed to be floody for 2 days, then would settle and it was over in 3-4 days,

then i would have a trace sometimes and then no more bleed..

nearing the end i got dreadful migraines for 4 days and nights just before a proper period .. 

it does vary from woman to woman
