Am I perimenopausal ?
I am going through a divorce, not has sex in a couple of years so can't have any kind of infection etc.
I have (what I have concluded this week) are ovulation pains, really bad. Last a couple of days, burning pain - twice I thought I had appendicitis! Now I have twigged always mid-cycle and same pain. My boobs hurt too (like when first pregnant), discharge at this time is inoffensive but heavy. Bad back, aches and pains.
My periods are becoming more and more irregular - I was always 28 days. Sometimes one every 2 months now. Then 2 weeks. When they do come they are HEAVY! 8 tampons in one day was the record.
I haven't been on the pill for years but I am wondering if I should? If it would help even this out? Does anyone know the age limit or if it is even a good idea?
I haven't even described the emotional roller coaster I feel I am on. I feel utterly hormone dependent at the mo - it seems to control me.
I have tried to see/speak to my GP ... No appointments for over 2 weeks and they are not booking after that!
Thank so so much. Sorry if TMI!
