How did your period start to change?

I’m almost 48 and until recently I would say I wasn’t experiencing any real peri symptoms.

My cycle has always been pretty much 27-30 days forever. At the beginning of last year I had a period that was weeks late (neg pregnancy tests etc) then it arrived and I thought that was the beginning of something but back to normal. I had my period as normal in dec , then another one about 10 days later. I’m now on day 9 (normally a 5 day type) it’s not overly heavy or painful but just unusual and doesn’t feel like the end is in sight - not getting lighter etc

Just wondering if this sounds familiar? I’ve also quite recently had an increase in my thyroid meds so wondering if this could also maybe be playing a role?
