Could it be early menopause

[Liliuk]

Hi, I just turned 43 and for the first time in my life (v regular cycle) my periods are 3 weeks overdue. Done 5 pregnancy tests all negative. I have seen gp who recommended I do another test in 1 week and blood test in 2 if needed. But could it be age related? Thank you

I think just having a random skipped period is quite common - I had something similar in my 30s. It could be the first sign of peri though - typically cycles shorten a little at first, but everyone's different. Might not be early menopause even if it is hormonal though as peri can last a long time. Good luck at the GP.

Thank you

It could be perimenopause. I was 43. Only missed one period. My FSH has never dropped bow 30 since ladt year.

I’m 40 and have been experiencing weird cycles for the last year which I am assuming is Peri-menopausal stuff. So 3 weeks between cycles some months then missing periods other months. Plus spotting. Oh and worsening PMT.
The bloody joys.

Thanks everyone for your response. It's a weird feeling not knowing why

It depends on your FSH and your symptoms. If you start to have irregular periods or meno symptoms it is peri for sure.

Thank you. I will look into it. Still nothing so will see 🙂
