Weird periods and mood swings

[askmenothing]

Hello,

I'm 38 and hoping for some advice? For the last 3-6 months my periods have changed from a 29/30 day regular cycle with 5 day periods to 35/36 day cycle with 2 day periods.

I've also noticed that I'm fine and feel like me from the day my period starts to the middle of the month but then from then to my period I am horrible! I'm down, moody, easily angered, tired.

It's this peri-menapause? Am I not too young for that? I had my hormones checked at the docs and they said everything was fine and basically dismissed me.

Could I take any supplements or anything? Do I need to go back to docs. It's starting to affect me, I'm surprised DP hasn't walked, I can't bear him to touch me for 2.5 weeks of the month! I'm sure I'm being unpleasant to live with.

Any help/advice/suggestions would be really appreciated

@askmenothing no advice op but going through very similar too & same age. Do you get a bad headache a day or two before your due on?

Hopefully someone else will comment with advice.

Ahhh sorry to hear that! No, no headache. At least not that I've noticed

Bump

Me too in my late 30s. The actual periods suddenly became much shorter. One month it was as usual, and then that month and ever afterwards they were shorter and lighter.
