Perimenopause missed periods

[tracey911]

I started missing the odd period at 37 and then gradually missed more and more over the years. I'm now 5 months late but have been getting monthly ovulation and sore boobs, just no periods. I've read it's normal during this time but can't help feeling a little concerned. Anyone else had this happen to them?

yes I started skipping periods, a few years ago or they would come early and be longer. I started HRT so they are more regular and it keeps my mood more level and anxiety down

So you were getting the monthly ovulation and sore boobs but no periods? I'm so glad I'm not the only one then. I just couldn't/can't understand why I'm still ovulating and getting all the usual "period is arriving" symptoms

Our bodies still have hormones going on but they fluctuate all the time

Wish I would start missing periods, mine are never ending at the moment. Last one lasted for 5 weeks, very heavy for 3. Had 1 week off and now they back big time, oh the joys!

Wow, that's a lot of bleeding isn't it!
