Missing period

I think I'm into peri. Generally mood and anxiety has got worse. My periods have been regular till recently but my last one was a gap of 47 days instead of the usual 27! My period is now much heavier than usual too - perhaps add it's "two months worth"?

Does this sound familiar?

Thanks!

Yes, sounds like it. Watch your iron levels as I hadn’t noticed how heavy my periods had become and I ended up with low ferritin

Yes, sounds normal.

Last period was 12 May here, (I think), that is 3 months ago. I m delighted, I feel much better mood wise. I m getting v. mild hot flushes in the evenings. I m late stage by my symptoms (45 years old), I noticed the first symptoms in late 2017, so 7 years ago, it makes sense that I should be approaching late stage perimenopause.
