Is this the Menopause?

[BaconAndAvocado]

I've just turned 48 and my periods have been 3 weeks apart for about the last 5 months.

The way I feel physically and mentally before and during my periods has got worse in recent months.

Yes i think it could be the start,perimenopause, i would say, as you still have periods but not as regular,
See your GP they might start you on some form of HRT if thats what you would like, but they will explain it all to you
