Age 44 and a weird cycle

Hi,
I'm having a weird cycle.
My last period started on 20th Jan. CD 15 I had one day of ewcm ( usually get about 4) then nothing then CD 19-22 ewcm again so figure I ovulated then. ( About a week late) After this 11 days of not much discharge ( like normal after ovulation). But then weirdly CD33-36 loads of ewcm! Loads! ( But accompanied with crazy tiredness like before AF)

No period has shown up. Now on CD41!!!!! Tested negative the afternoon of CD38 and CD40

I'm actually 44 and a friend said maybe this is peri menopause starting. But with loads of ewcm?! My cycles have been perfectly regular since I was 12. I have no other perimenopause signs. I get my period 14 days after my last day of ewcm. Always. I think I ovulated CD22/23 so expected it a week later than usual. But the next phase of ewcm has thrown me! I've never had that!

Any old ladies like me on here?!

I do have one birth child age 18, and two adopted kids, have literally TTC for 22 years continually and just one birth child and one miscarriage in all those years! So obvs I'm not fertile but also I know my cycle very well!!! 22 years ttc and you do!

I have my family and I'm not desperate for another. We have just never used contraception in 22 years! So I'm used to being infertile and have more than dealt with that. This cycle is just messing with my head! I might be super infertile but I don't miss periods!

You aren’t old you are 44

Im 46 i’ve just had a 71 day cycle then into lovely 19 day cycle.

Im defo peri menopausal, symptoms have been around for a few years but the periods stretching so far is a new one.

Have a look at peri menopausal symptom checklists and see if anything else is going on some are more subtle than you’d think. Or you may be lucky and just not get that many. Mine are pretty manageable.

Any concerns though always see a doctor because not everything is menopause.
