Periods speeding up? Old gimmerage here I come?

[niceglasses]

Am 39 next yr and have noticed periods speeding up and not as regular. E.g Had last period during half term I think, so just over two weeks is it? Now another. Am I heading toward menopause or is there another reason anyone can think of?? Ta in advance.

I'm going in today for removal of a uterine polyp. Had exactly these symptoms plus occasional slight bleeding between periods.

Had assumed it was either approaching menopause or hormonal probs as I'd had the same thing before I had children - turned out it was something totally different. That time they just put me on the pill.

So go to see your GP - it'll only get worse.

I had this - and GP insisted that a cycle which varied randomly between 15 and 21 days was normal. Have since changed GP!

oh Bloody Nora

I've had pain and slight bleeding at ovulation and now periods coming 3 weeks apart. I can't ignore it for any longer can I. Bugger, hope it is Old Gimmerage and not, you know, the "other"

will watch this thread with interest

er, slight development :

oh dear

Yikes - how are you feeling (apart from totally dumbstruck)? definately not old Gimmerage then (A new MN phrase? Not heard it before!)

Eeek niceglasses.

Mine are getting closer together but regular IYSWIM currently 23 days. Pretty sure mine is Old Gimmerage - I like that phrase.

mmmm. Hands of Gods now, so will just have to wait it out. Feel like living in Topsy Turvy land today.

Eeek - that is a development niceglasses !!

I'm definitely heading the old gimmerage way however - never know when I'm going to start these days ... last period was August 31st ( the date is etched on my brain as I was footling around Dunkerque trying to find the bloody ferry terminal with an incredibly bored 3 1/2 yr old in the back!! - and I missed the bloody boat and had to wait 2 hours for the next one) and it was 2 weeks after my last period ... Now - Nothing - not a feckin' scooby - sore boobs and pulling feeling in my tum off and on though ... actually maybe I ought to do a test ... No I'm way too old .. No definitely gimmerage approaching

niceglasses - best of luck.

Obviously NOT a polyp in your case! If anyone is interested in removal of uterine polyp i've got a thread on it - and i had mine done yesterday & it was a piece of cake. LOL

wow, niceglasses
bon courage and bon chance, and time for twin beds

Am still at a loss as to how for Gawds sake HOW can I be pregnant??? I mean I know how of course, but I had a full blown period just 2 weeks ago and I thought we'd been careful etc. Ho hum.

Niceglasses - one of my friends who thought after years of trying that she couldn't have kids got pg just as she thought she was beginning the menopause. Bit of a shocker!

Happened to my aunt too - she went on to have another.

Hope it works out for you.
