Menopause at 40?

[JustFab]

My cycle is getting longer and I am currently late. Just reading a magazine and it says your periods get closer together when you are coming to the end of having periods. I have currently got PMT and an horrible taste in my mouth but after a regular 28 day cycle for years this all over the place nonsence is annoying. I am also getting warm and dizzy at times.

I was 38 & my periods did get closer together initially, became less frequent, then after a couple of years they stopped altogether.

I had no unpleasant symptoms really - no hot flushes or anything.

Could you be pregnant?

Still haven't come on. I can't be pregnant as DH had the snip about 6 years ago. I am quite stressed at the moment, maybe that is holdijng it off.

GP did a blood test for me and confirmed I was menopausal.

She was so surprised she rang me to tell me the news! She had previously said to me that it couldn't be the menopause as I wasn't in my 50s .

I was expecting it though because my sister, mum, gran & great-gran were all about the same age.

Do you have a family history of early menopause?

Hi

I am almost 39 (it will be my birthday on Saturday), and I just got back from the doctors, about my periods. My periods were every 28 days and over the last year or so my cycle has been just over 3 weeks. Then suddenly I noticed that I had two periods last month and just having another one! There must be about a gap of about 10 days between the last 3 times that I have had a period.

The doctor took a swab today to see if there is an infection, and I will get the results in a few days. I get awful pms and struggle with my mood and sleep, so this last month especially has been a bit of a nightmare!

I have an appointment at the hospital to see a gynocologist.

Im 41 i have raging PMT and im late and my period can come anything between 24 and 32 days It really drives me up the wall It has been like this since i was about 37 .
