I am 39 (just turned a few months ago). I posted over on the conception board that I am on day 31 of my cycle and no period yet, and my normal range is anywhere from a 26-30 day cycle, so this is unusual for me. I tracked ovulation this month and I got an LH peak at day 17, and DH and I had sex on day 18. Hence why I thought my later than usual period might be pregnancy. However I have had 3 negative tests on days 11,12 & 13 dpo (the latter being today). I've used different brands so I'm sure these tests are giving accurate negative results. My question is, if I'm not pregnant, could this be the start of the menopause?
If it's relevant, I've noticed over the past few years my cycles have changed from a consistent 28 day cycle to the range 26-30, so whilst they are within that range usually, it's strange that they changed from a 28 day predictable cycle to this range. This change happened after the birth of my youngest who is now 3 years old. Prior to this pregnancy my cycles were the consistent 28 days.
Can anyone shed any light on what on earth is going on with my body? I don't want to get my hopes up that I could be pregnant if I'm perimenopausal. 😢
