Signs of perimenopause

2 replies

Needanewnamenow · 24/10/2020 09:46

For many years (10+) I have had short cycles, with a few exceptions they've been 25 days bang on the nose every cycle. This month it was 23 days, now I am nearly 41 I am concerned this could be a sign of perimenopause. We have been ttc number two for a couple of years now (fertility issues, miscarriages etc) and am now concerned that my body is starting to gear down but am probably oversensitive as ttc has been very difficult. Can this just be a one off? I have been so regular for so long (even when breastfeeding) that it is easy to assume the worst.

Have to wait a few months to see. Do you have any other symptoms? How old was your mother, grandmother when they started the menopause?

Thank you for replying. My mother was in her much later 40s when she went through the menopause (she can't really remember any perimenopause symptoms) and my grandmother must have been older as she had my mum when she was 42/43. But if I am honest with myself my cycles have been getting a bit shorter for the last couple of months. I know this could be a bit of a one off but it's been a horrible year health wise so I'm a bit paranoid
