I am nearly 46 and for the last year my regular 28 day cycle has gradually become 21 days. I have now been feeling PMT, swollen breasts, bloating and abdominal twinges for the last 2 weeks, but no blood. Was worried I might be pregnant, but did a negative test today. So now I am confused. I thought the menopause meant you didn't have a period at all, I didn't expect to feel like my period was imminent for a couple of weeks or more! Has anyone else had this experience?
