10 day cycle length at 43yo - peri, breastfeeding or something more serious? šŸ˜•

I’m 43.5 and have been breastfeeding for 24 months. My periods returned around 15 months ago. Cycle length fluctuates from 26-39 days with an average of 30 days. I had just put the variability down to the breastfeeding.

However, I am now having a period which started on cycle day 10! I am waiting for the GP to get back to me but am worried it could be something dodgy.

Surely it’s not peri?

GP hasn’t replied for three days now… guessing that means they don’t think it’s anything serious…
