Is this the beginning of peri....actually quite excited

[madchocolatemum48]

I'm 49 and my period is really late, always been 21/28 day cycle girl. I'm on day 40 now and still nothing. Had the built up (PMS) but that's all gone again. Periods have always been painful and heavy so I would be glad to see the back of them.
I have been having bad palpitations on and off for a few months now.
Bad headaches.
Completely exhausted.
My mothers periods just stopped when she started menopause apparently and the thought of mine doing the same is wonderful.
I am not delusional in thinking it's all plain sailing but I would be happy if this was the start of things.

Its fab to know I'm not just getting old and mad. (51 and losing it)
Just for a change been awake most of night - to iron or not to iron? - that is the question.
You have all made me realise that I don't have to put up with wanting to kill my husband/ not sleeping/ and constantly having to escape from clothing in a panic.
Doctors here I come.
WELL DONE LADIES
