just turned 46, periods getting odder ie 17 day cycle (short ones) and sometimes longer ie 30. no night sweats. hormonal most of the time. sometimes i have light bleeds a week/5 days before af, some months af lingers on for a week or so very very light spotting but had recent scan (few months ago) to check it out via gp and all seemed fine, had recent smear too which was ok. this month however i am really late (cd40), did a pg test, neg. question - when women start to miss periods do they still get af symptoms as i still have bloated tummy with mild cramping and larger boobs, perhaps i will still come on and it is all hormonal nonsense, would appreciate knowing if this sounds familiar. i would have thought that when you miss an af you wouldn't have any symptoms but i could be totally wrong, thanks
