Pregnancy or Perimenpause

Hmmm...hard to say. I'm 46 with a 7 year old son (so I was 39 when I had him and I survived! LOL) My periods are still regular but I know women younger than me who have experiences peri-menopause much younger. Either way, I wish you SANITY!

Good Morning M....I was 40 when I started peri-menopause...my periods were just as you described (not normal) and it lasted that way until I was 42 (with a count-on-your-right-hand hotflashes - ever!) Then at 42 NO more periods...I was done and through menopause. I am now going on 52 and feel like I "breezed" through menopause...to this day, I have not had to take hormones or anything...(I did have 4 children and was done having them) So I didn't feel sad that I went through menopause so young. So you could just be starting that cycle. Some people have a very difficult time with it and with hot flashes etc. I was VERY LUCKY! Good Luck! :-)

You may just be starting peri-menopause, M.. See what your GYN thinks about getting a bloodtest done tomorrow, both for a pregnancy test, and to check your hormone levels. (Unless you are on birth control pills, which would mask your true hormonal level.) You want to know as quickly as possible if you are pregnant. If you aren't pregnant, just remember that it's possible to get pregnant at 40, and during perimenopause. Keep using your birth control! Smile!

Hard to tell. As I get older my cycle gets less and less predictable. I can have a regular 25 day cycle 3 months in a row. Then 42 days. Then back to regular and very occasionally I'll get a period 14 days after the last one. Many things can throw your cycle off (besides pregnancy). You doctor will help you figure out what is going on.

It sounds like perio-menopause to me. I had my first child at 39 with no problems. I tried to have a second one and it took me 13 months. I had her at 42. Starting at 40 my periods have been irregular and crazy. I'm now 52 and after having no periods for 17 months, I had one on April Fools Day. Mother Nature is not always kind. Periomenopause can last 10 years.

I am about to turn 4o and have been dealing with the same issues for 2 years. After every test in the book and thousands of dollars spent to find out what was 'wrong' , I come to find out that nothing is 'wrong' and I am just in perio-menopause. All I can say, is that I really struggled with it until I got the answer, and now I am working to balance my hormones as naturally as possible through diet and supplements. It isn't fun, but it is part of the journey, so I embrace it. Good luck to you, I hope you find the answers you need quickly.

It could be perimenopause. I started going into it in my early 30's with irregular periods and a lot of spotting for 1-2 weeks afterwards. My doctor did a bloodwork workup and discovered that my FSH levels were starting to rise (this hormone shows how hard the body is working to release an egg). I asked him if there was anything I could do, he said no.

I did research though and found that acupuncture (if done by someone with knowledge of women's fertility) can regulate your cycle and normalize FSH hormones levels - I've done it twice, at 35 and 39.

If you were trying to get pregnant and find alternative ways of normalizing your period and increase your chances, the book "Inconceivable: A Woman's Triumph over Despair and Statistics" - Paperback (Oct. 9, 2001) by Julia Indichova was my resource both times. It's a godsend.

Hi,These are the sighs of menopause I don;t know why but these days we all have started having menopause so early.I remember my mom had hers at late 50s.All you should do is exercise a lot. And please don;t go in for any hormonal treatment as it actually does not work. I took two doses IE one month course treatments but it only aggravated the problem then I started my exercises and yes I did have hot flushes and my bit, but now I am perfectly fine I am 48.So please don' worry You will be fine.I would like to suggest all my dear friends to down load this movie "THE MYSTERY" and write back to me as to how you all felt.
