Very late period

[scrabble1]

My period is 8 days late and I'm feeling confused. Always been regular. I've also lost my voice and feeling drained. Could this be perimenopause? I'm 46

I’m in the same boat for the first time. I have had a period app on my phone for a decade and I am never late.

So yes, I’m sure it’s the start for me. I already get hot very quickly, I’m like a boiled mushroom during the night where I get up and throw the window open or go outside. I sleep maybe 5 hours a night, can’t go back to sleep after getting up for a wee.

I’m a bit weepy/grumpy too and I’m struggling with being hugged.

So to you and me

I'll join the 46 and late club!
I also struggle with sleep.
Hoping it's the menopause and not for any other reason

Mine ended up being 9 days late! Totally crap, don’t want this every month or I’m going to be wearing sanitary towels constantly

I had a very late peri - no period changes till I was 51 ish when my cycles got shorter ( 26 days rather than 28-29) but then I had a couple of short cycles- 17 days- missed a couple of cycles, a few more normal cycles, missed 4 cycles, one more period then that was it- though might have had another a year later but was on HRT so not sure.

I took to wearing panty liners daily or something more substantial once I was more than half way through a cycle , especially if I was out and about.

The moon cup and washable pads are your friend. My periods are all over the shop these days, and wearing a comfy washable pad makes me feel much more secure.

I have no other symptoms apart from puffy ankles. It's very frustrating. I might try some natural progesterone
