Hi. I am 45 and my periods have always been every 28 days for 5 days. Over the last year strange things have been creeping in like being two days early or two days late, sometimes heavy and sometimes not. For the last few months I have been waking up about 5 am and one minute I am in the duvet then the next, I am cold and back in. I also have really itchy skin all the time. My mum went through the menopause early 40s and had a full hysterectomy to alleviate her symptoms. I am not suffering from hot flushes in the day though. The doctor did a blood test to see if I was starting the menopause but it came back inconclusive. Should I push for another test? Does anyone else suffer with really itchy skin please?
