I've been back and forth to the GP over the last 3 ish years. Periods used to be every 28 days lasting 3-4 days of proper bleeding, now irregular from 20-26 days, last at least 7 days but much lighter / brown (so although longer, they aren't heavier). Also tend to stop / start.
Am 37. All female maternal relatives had menopause in their mid 30s.
Feel constantly tired and have recently started to get dizzy migraines.
Doctor has just offered the pill to regulate periods, no comment / willingness to explore anything else. Apparently it's just a nuisance and just one of those things that women get....
Any thoughts? I'm happy to pay privately for any extra tests. Blood we're apparently all normal, but I'm not convinced, considering symptoms:
TSH 2.4 (same level 2 years ago. Could it be hypo?)
LH 8.9 (seems high in relation to FSH - not done during ovulation surge)
FSH 4.3
B12 248 (this seems low to me)
Ferritin 31 (is this low?)
Folate 17.4
Haemoglobin. 143
What might it be? What tests should I be asking for?
