Perimenopause And Irregular Periods Posted: 01-25-05 14:11pm
Hi,
i am 45.6 yrs. Old and I think I am in
the throws of p-menop., but I need a
menopause-mentor, 'cause this is
unfamiliar territory.
I know that my af has shortened in the
last 12-18 months. I use be anywhere from
28-31 days with 31 days the norm. I am
now around 26-28 days. Well this past
month I got af as usual and then she
appeared 13 days later.
That was last wednesday. I didn't have
any idea she was coming on. I want in to
the bathroom and just --whooosh--bright
red, lots of blood. This only lasted for
a day and she was gone. Now, 6 days
later, i'm starting to spot. Is this
normal perimenopause behavior?? I feel
like I can't go anywhere without a pad.
I have also been under a great deal of
stress lately and I have 2 small children
3 and 5 -- both natural pregnancies. Of
course, I had my yearly physical with my
ob/gyn 2 days before af and all of this
began. So when she asked if I had any
issues -- I responded, "no, everything's
great." figures!!
Thanks for any insight.
Dana

I can relate to all of you, would like to
discuss meno issues with you, I am going
through the same symptoms, and I think it
would help just to talk to someone who
understands.
