My periods are usually regular, around 26-28 day cycle. I'm 44.
I had a rotten cold last month that turned into horrendous sinusitis and I felt really awful for two weeks. AF was due pretty much as I was starting to feel better, but - nothing. It finally started eleven days late, but never really developed past the slimy-red-icky stage i.e. I haven't had a proper 'bleed'. It was just enough to need to wear my mooncup.
Ten days later and it was tailing off, I stopped wearing my cup (had taken a break after five days and sterilised it, I didn't wear it for 10 days straight), and the next day (Saturday) I got insane itching - yep, thrush. Bought a pessary, put it in that night, and yesterday the sort-of-bleeding started again. So here I am, wearing a sanitary towel because I don't want to trigger another bout of thrush, and today I've got a bit of a tummy upset and a touch of diarrhoea.
WTF is going on with my body? My first thought is menopause, but it seems a bit odd.
