Periods gone from 28 day cycle to 20/21 day cycle?

Seriously, I've gone 15 days between periods this month and 13 days the period before. I've always been 28 days give or take a day. Is this the start of menopause or something? I thought you ended up going longer between periods. For reference, I'm 44, 2 DC and have the copper coil.

Was about to post a similar thread. 25 day cycle here. Usually light. Last period was now heavy and now, 2 weeks after finishing that I'm on again. I'm 46. Think this is a pre menopausal thing. Really hope I don't get more regular AND heavier....😣

My periods started going closer together for a couple of years. Nightmare. Heavier etc

Now I haven't had one for 3 months+

Go figure

Fuck me! Us woman really get a raw deal from Mother Nature! Sad I'm feeling far more ragey before I get my period too. Thanks for sharing ladies. Flowers

I'm in an every 3 week cycle too, have been for about a year. I think it's remarkable that we carry on with the same responsibilities every day when physically, hormonally we are fluctuating so wildly. And my skin. Anyone else getting acne with this lovely phase?

My skin has got quite greasy especially around my nose. Add in bloating, a bit of constipation, tiredness and the raging hormones, I'm in a great state! Grin
