Missed period and awful headache

[Goodyetalso]

I think perimenopause things have been happening to me for about a year now but until this month my periods weren’t particularly affected. But I missed my last period (cycle usually around 30 days, now on day 46) and have had a banging headache most days since it was missed. Do you think the headache is linked? I can only find info about how hormone surges cause menopause headaches but surely my hormones aren’t surging if I’ve missed a period? Or am I misunderstanding? (I probably am).

I have to say that after a year of miserable itching and fatigue and horribly painful breasts for over 2 weeks of every month, I am enjoying the lack of period aside from the headache - no itchiness or sore boobs for over 6 weeks now! 🎉

@Goodyetalso did you get any outcome with this? I am exactly the same this month and no paracetamol is touching it, usually bang on 28, but has been later last two months but with eventual bleed and now this day 3 over headache and sickness exactly around day 28 no sign of bleed. Same hot, sore chest leading up to days. Urgh, I feel dreadful.
