Just hit 40, 18 days late and most definitely not preg

[kalidanger]

The (usually) spookily accurate Period Tracker app says I'm now 18 days late :( My last period was around my 40th birthday in early April. I have had some of what I recognise as my usual pre-menstrual symptoms - mood, weird hair, white-ish discharge and twinges but nothing else.

Is this it already? I'm 40 1/12 old :( I'm also single and child free

I think it's a bit early to say. I'm 52 and not had any changes at all. I have been waiting for some since age 40. We all differ.

Thanks Jane. I suppose I just have to keep an eye on it.

Them suddenly becoming irregular would be very annoying. Back when I had a massive fibroid and felt like I was losing litres of blood they were at least regular, and I've enjoyed the app being so accurate. I could even map an 'ovulation twinge'!

I'll go away now :o
