Blimey, that was loud!! Trip to the docs. They can investigate and help

sounds like the start of menopause, a blood test can be done to see if it is.

headlesslambrini · 18/06/2013 21:42

my periods went worse when I hit 38. no side of menopause for me, just irregular, very emotional, very bitchy and incredibly hungry for a couple of days in the week upto it.

Go to the doctors if you are worried or want a definite answer.

Sounds like it might be

Fingers crossed hope it goes well at the doctors

MammaTJ · 20/06/2013 07:55

Good luck at the docs!

Embracethemuffintop · 20/06/2013 08:21

This is happening to me to. Over the space of a year I went from regular periods to bleeding for most of the month, double padding and still leaking after 20 mins. I also never had much in the way of cramps or PMT before and then boy did that change! The fatigue was unbearable. I went to the docs and had bloods done and scans. They found I wasn't menopausal but anemic and have a 'grumbling uterus'! I saw a specialist and am now on a list to have a hysterectomy. I know your symptoms aren't exactly the same, but it doesn't necessarily mean you are menopausal as that was my first thought with me. Good luck!

SybilRamkin · 20/06/2013 09:47

Good luck at the docs! Let us know how you get on, thinking of you.

Groovee · 20/06/2013 09:55

Go to the dr

devonshiredumpling · 20/06/2013 22:38

have been to the docs and have had blood taken as he thinks the it is pre menopause get the results in around a week

SquirtedPerfumeUpNoseInBoots · 20/06/2013 23:07

Well that's progress. Let us know what your results are as my dr is in denial about peri menopausal symptoms

devonshiredumpling · 25/06/2013 22:21
