Do I need to contact GP? (womens health)

[Wanttohelpbuthow]

I’ll try and keep this short ..

•irregular periods started in August this year, before this very regular.
• I’ve had 3 kids if that’s any relevance and my youngest has just turned 3.
• went 39 days without a period in November and then got my second period/bleeeing 10 days after that but only bled for 1.5 days. Then it stopped and started again the next day very minimally. (Never happened to me before)
• sore boobs
• dryness down below
• I’m 32 so surely not peri?

should I just wait and see if things settle down? Very confused!

I would say if you’re worried, and it’s unusual for you, there’s no harm in requesting an appointment. I’m sure it’s nothing serious - but it’s better to get get it checked than leave it and be wrong!

I was your age when I missed my first ever period and I was on the pill. Pregnancy test negative. I stopped the pill just in case and then fell pregnant that very same month. So it could be that’s an age where our bodies start to change.

Good luck!

Yes, it's advised that you see your GP, they'll likely request blood tests to investigate

Have you done a pregnancy test?

@PlateAndBowl i only did this afternoon (so not first morning wee) and it was negative .. I’ll retake in the morning!

My friend started the change at 35

Go to the drs too.

I started hrt at 35 I missed my first period at 32. A blood test result said 'consistent with menopause' and I ran away buried my head in the sand until panic attacks set in and I couldn't cope anymore. It turns out I'm from a line of early menopausal women 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hmm my mum and maternal grandma started in their mid forties but maybe I could be not following that pattern!

Yes do contact your GP. Unlikely to be anything sinister, but they may do a few blood tests to check for unusual causes of change in menstrual pattern.
