Would really appreciate advice on something which is new to me! I'm 42, have four children (youngest 20m) and have always had very light periods that have caused me few problems.
I'm still breastfeeding - which stops my periods completely for about 14 months after delivery, and they restarted about 5m ago. But they are now very heavy, and sometimes 3 wks apart - or more than a month. The last one was more than 6 weeks ago. Have done 2 negative preg tests to rule out that issue!
But i have also been having night sweats for weeks, nearly every night.
And the latest symptom is - over the last few days occasionally i'm suddenly getting very hot and sweaty. Doesn't last long - seconds really, no more than a minute.
Does this sound like i'm entering the menopause? Thanks in advance :)
