Do periods get more frequent towards the end?

[Bestseller]

I'm 48, so no real symptoms as such except that having been regular as clockwork, 28 days, and since dc, 15 years ago, my last 3 periods have been only 21 days apart.

Normal? Cause for concern?

It's no fun, it feels like I almost permenantly have pms or bleeding and period pain

Yes it is very common during peri. After that they become less frequent.

Or less frequent, mine are now on 6 week cycles

Yes, mine got more frequent for a few months, then less frequent for a bit, then even more frequent again until they finally stopped altogether the year before last.

My periods went to 3 weekly in my 40's then they stopped
