hi, hoping someone can share their experience and shed some light on what could be happening. (I will of course be going to the doctor, but in the meantime I thought I’d ask on here)
im F 38, healthy. 3 kids.
for the past year my periods have gone nuts. Absolutely bonkers. They use to be very manageable, quite light, barely any cramps, I was like a walking advert for lovely periods. Now I bleed so heavily that I have to wear a night pad, inside period underwear at night. And even then I’ll bleed through. they last for a good 5/6 days, then stop…… only to come back about a week later just as heavy as before. It’s seriously having an effect on my work as I have to change my tampon and pads so frequently.
im tired, boiling hot, having trouble sleeping, have incredibly itchy ears and brain fog. All of which I’ve never had before.
im on the pill. Keep trying to persuade my DP to get the snip but he changes the subject quickly. The implant didn’t work well for me nor have other methods.
Could this be the start of perimenopause? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you
