Can you get signs a period's coming when one isn't?

[pudsma]

Hello. I've been having periods bang on 28 days most of this year, but the last two have been 35 then 30 days apart. This time I feel like one's about to arrive (29 days - that'll teach me to hope!) but I just wondered if you can get cramps, sore boobs, irritability, all the usual signs it's about to arrive, but it not arrive? I'm wondering because I was so sure I was about to have a period when I turned out to be pregnant with my daughter! I'm not worrying that I'm pregnant btw, the coil sees to that.

Hiya, I am jumping on your thread for the exact same thing!

I was going to post "is this the start of it??".
I'm 44, my cycles have ALWAYS been less than 28 days since they started when I was 12.

The days between have been 22-26 days most of this year. Im on day 32!
I don't have any other peri symptoms, other than a bit of brain fog (saying the wrong thing / forgetting my words), periods have been awful since last baby (shes 10 now 🤣)
No hot flashes etc.
Keep thinking my period is about to start, but nothing at all.

I had a tubal ligation at my last c/s!

I feel your pain. I was always 28 days. I am now anywhere between 21 and 60 days. My period app has completely given up. But the worse thing is having the period symptoms still on a 28 day cycle. It fucking stinks.

Yes I did a few times. But that apart I sailed through without any other symptoms so I can't complain!

@Twix42 at 44, even with the tubal ligation I'd be getting a pregnancy test!!

oh no. I was worried someone might say that.

Still no period 😢 I cd41 now...
Not pregnant either!
Urgh, no clue if I should see GP. What could they do??

That happened to me the cycle after my first Pfizer jab. Everything pointed to my period being round the corner then it didn't start. It was not a peaceful wait, despite the -ve tests. The next period was on schedule and horrible - sorry.

I haven't had a period since October but I've had the usual weight gain, bloating, bad mood and spots for about 3 weeks now. I just want it to come! I'm 48 though so maybe it's buggered off forever. Wish the extra lbs would as well.

My periods have still been really regular, but much shorter and heavier. They've been exhausting (and I've been like a teenager!). In August they stopped, but I've still felt like I was coming on each month, still felt a bit PMT. But that seems to be calming too. And I'm not missing them! (I'm sure there will be more at some point just when I've forgotten all about it!)

I had that on and off through menopause.
