Is this a sign of perimenopause?

My periods as a teenager were always irregular as I was an athlete. This didn’t surprise me or my doctor at all. Only once I became pregnant in my twenties did they start to "normalize" and become more regular…but they’ve always been fairly heavy and prolonged. Usually lasting 7-10 days, with fairly strong cramping starting the day before my bleeding and lasting through the entire period until the day before it ended.
Recently though, my periods have suddenly become irregular again. The one before last was two whole weeks early and unusually light, with mild to no cramping. Then not even three weeks later I started again but this time the cramping was severe and the bleeding extreme! I’m only 43yrs old and early menopause does not run in my family that I know of. Could this be perimenopause?




Any woman in perimenopause had this problem?




I’m in an active perimenopause at the moment. I haven’t had a period since February of this year. I’ve had high stress since the first of March. I’ve dealt with the loss of my husband’s father, my husband’s uncle, breaking foot, having surgery on arm. After all the stress left then I wake up on Wednesday to have a little surprise of a light period again. My sister is also in perimenopause and came in after 5 months. I know that women come sometimes cycle together but this is ridiculous. It isn’t bad just annoying. I was enjoying the freedom and now this. My mother entered menopause at age 48 and my aunt at age 56. I think I’m going to go for a few more years. I don’t want to go on birth control because of the risk factors. I am taking supplements that my doctor recommended last year though which balanced my hormone levels. I might have to have the levels rechecked again. Has anyone else had this problem? I know that my doctor told me that after 12 months you are considered to be in menopause. Thanks.




Dear Tide, I am writing to say what an excellent product you have! I’ve used it all of my married life,as my Mom always told me it was the best.Now that I am in my fifties I find it even better! In fact,about a month ago I spilled some red wine on my new white blouse.My inconsiderate and uncaring husband started to belittle me about how clumsy I was and generally started to become a pain in the neck.One thing led to another and somehow I ended up with his blood on my new white blouse! I grabbed my bottle of Tide and to my surprise and satisfaction all of the stains came out In fact,the stains came out so well the detectives told me the DNA tests on my blouse were negative and then my attorney called and said I was no longer a suspect in the disappearance of my husband,What relief ! Going through menopause is bad enough without being a murder suspect! I thank you for a great product! Well, gotta go, have to write the Hefty bag people.

I grabbed my bottle of Tide with bleach alternative, to my surprise and satisfaction, all of the stains came out! In fact, the stains came out so well the detectives who came by yesterday told me that the DNA tests on my blouse were negative and then my attorney called and said that I was no longer considered a suspect in the disappearance of my husband. What a relief!

About a month ago, I spilled some red wine on my new white blouse. My inconsiderate and uncaring husband belittled me about how clumsy I was, and generally became a big pain in the neck. One thing led to another and somehow I ended up with bloodstains on my new white blouse! I grabbed my bottle of Tide with bleach alternative and, to my surprise and satisfaction; all of the stains came out! In fact, the stains came out so well the detectives who came by yesterday told me that the DNA tests on my blouse were inconclusive and then my attorney called and said that I was no longer a suspect in the disappearance of my husband.
