Is this a perimenopause symptom

[kirinm]

My cycle length has shortened slightly which I've got used to but this month I've had my period but since finishing I've had the aches and pains that I get as PMS symptoms. It's been going on for days and it's just making me feel crap.

I'm 46.

Definitely could be - all signs of an irregular cycle. Worth monitoring and seeing your GP if you think it might be something more concerning though.

Yeah I think I might. The pains are exactly the same as PMS symptoms - back ache, thighs aching etc but my period finished a few days ago. This is the first time I've had this.
