Hi Rhubarb, and welcome. 
Really interesting to read your post as I thought I was the only person whose periods have become more regular with the peri menopause, not less regular. (In fact, it sounded so unlikely, I've never really mentioned it on here before!). I've gone months all through my life without any - despite being fit and healthy - yet now, in my early 40s, I get them every 28 days almost to the hour and I suddenly seem to have aged 20 years overnight!

It's nice to know I'm not the only one too! I guess it's just the change in your periods that is significant, which for most people would be from regular to irregular. Mine had always been anywhere from 6 weeks to 2 months or more apart, and different each time.
Thanks for the welcomes! I think I first heard of this forum from a prolapse forum, one of their members is here also. I have read posts here many times, usually when I'm worried that something is terribly wrong with me, and I always feel much better knowing I'm not alone and realizing most of the things happening to me are hormone related.
I'm in the US and it seems most of you are in the UK, but I'm quite an Anglophile and when I've been over to visit friends in the UK I feel so "at home" when I'm there, I only wish I could stay longer. When I can't be there I watch British television, read mysteries, and meet up with friends in my Anglophile group.
It's Super Bowl Sunday here. My husband and daughter will watch the big game but I don't care for football so my son and I will watch the Great British Bake Off. Series 5 is airing over here at the moment, we're only on episode 6 so please don't tell me who wins
Downton Abbey is on tonight too, series 5 episode 5. Husband and daughter might take a break from the game to watch that with me
