Post period anxiety & pain

My periods are still regular but getting much shorter over the last year. Very exciting times!

But I'm noticing a lot of other peculiar stuff that seems to happen cyclically. In the week after my period I'm getting serious anxiety & aches on the lower right hand side of my abdomen, not too dissimilar to ovulation pain (which has dropped right off this last year). Niggley burning ache that reaches into the crease where my thigh joins my groin with the occasional peep behind my knee (the fleshy back bit).

Recently had bloods inc ca125 & all is clear. Previously diagnosed with polyps but no idea where or how many/size etc. Do have gallstones which I'm under investigation for after they've repeatedly tried to kill me this year. But this doesn't feel related to that.

Does this sound familiar for perimenopausal weirdnessess?

Fibroids, not polyps. My bad 😬
