Waiting for a late period - FFS - the feelings

[Youngatheart00]

I just need an outlet for my anxiety and hormonal rage! I’m perimenopausal and used to be 28 days regularly, this month I’ve had PMT from cycle day 23 onward but now cycle day 30, so a whole week of agonising heaviness, cramps, sore boobs, awful mood and so tearful, and still no period!

no chance I am pregnant but christ I am fed up!!!! Anyone else identify??!

Totally. My pmt is two full weeks of agonising huge boobs, bloated stomach - I look 6 months pregnant, period pain, tearful, the lot, then I have my period for 5 days which new level of agony and then I have 9 days of feeling normal before PMT kicks in again. Every month. I'm 52 and still like clockwork but I just want it over with 😭

I am so sorry for us.

Oh wow, every month like that, poor you, that sounds awful. I used to be like clockwork, and some months still am (I’m early 40s) but any kind of stress, travel or medication seems to throw my cycle off. That feeling when you need your period, and it won’t start, is so awful. And I feel like the stress of that feeling is probably delaying it further!

I have taken so many painkillers but none having the desired effect either, shouldnt have bothered

fingers crossed for us both
