Peri Menopause - Help & advice needed please

3 replies

I'm new here, hoping I am posting in the right place. Can any one advise me please if this is normal, I am going out of my head with worry. My periods have been a bit strange the last 6 months, eg. light, heavy irregular dates, I missed a period for over 2 months, but then starting spotting so i thought "oh its here now" but was so light if hardly any at all for the first week, then second week a little heavier and now i'm on the third week, its still the same flow as last week but now i'm thinking it is the start of the peri menopause or is it something else more sinister. It is bright red blood, I am so worried, I cant sleep at night yet I am so tired, I keep crying, I cant concentrate at work, I am just a mess, worry has just consumed my life for the last 3 weeks. I have a headache right now and am feeling weak but think this is just due to worry and getting myself so worked up. Has anyone else experienced this, Ive just got no one to ask.

There's a whole menopause section for you here - www.mumsnet.com/talk/menopause

It does sound like it could be peri, though.

It's quite normal for periods to be all over the place during peri. Mine were.
It's probably best you see your GP, though if you're worried. They may advise HRT also if you have other symptoms... I'd say your anxiety, sleeplessness and inability to focus are certainly further symptoms.
