Period - night sweats - insomnia

[RenGreen]

Period ranges from a 24-29 day cycle.
Lasts 5 days.
I always get insomnia 2 days before my period.
Last night on day 3 I got insomnia which is unusual, fell asleep at around 5am and then woke up sweating around 8am! Like wet on my chest and neck! I rarely sweat. Under active thyroid. Am I peri-menopausal? Thanks!

Oh I’m 41!

I have the insomnia exactly the same, for a few nights before coming on. I also have hot flushes and sweats where the bed sheets are soaked pre and during first few days of period. I'm 38. Apparently can be normal for some women although I have low estrogen due to another issue but not menopausal levels x

Perhaps I need to get my oestrogen levels checked? Is that the same as estrogen?

You could sweat due to periods or alcohol, but I’d bet it’s peri menopause.
Do you know what age your DM was when she went through it ?

Mum had ovarian cancer so had menopause artificially early due to surgery
Grandmother had hysterectomy too so once again I don’t know.

It sounds like peri to me.

Think I need to watch Davina!

Just googled - sounds like it. I also get breast soreness but in saying that I know when I’m ovulating always have as whichever ovary is ovulating I get ovulation pains every month since I was a teenager and started my period. I think I was 12ish when I started my period.
