I have named changed for this one.
I'm 39, soon to be 40 and in the past few months, I have noticed my periods have been slightly off (either a couple of days late or a day early). I am worried that I am peri but i also don't know if it's down to stress and the busy, hectic lifestyle I lead.
I still have "regular" periods, meaning that I know when I'm due on and get all the usual symptoms each month but it's never like clockwork much anymore, always a little bit out. For example, I was meant to be due on yesterday, and I feel bloated and light cramping today but nothing. I have started training more at the gym (heavy resistance training) and I also lead a stressful life where I travel up and down the country each week and hardly get much time to rest or sometimes even properly sleep. I also have thyroid issues which are currently under control.
I don't know what i'm looking for here - sorry. I know I should go to the doctors, but I just don't think they would be able to help. Are there are tests I could do to check my fertility and if I am entering menopause?
Thank you.
