Rightho, a bit more research....I'm now at 38 days and no sign of 'anything' coming.
I looked back in my diary and started recording heavy and fluctuating cycle length 4 years ago, along with a few others things like flushes during menstruation, cycle length has been shortening and shortening in the last 2 years.....and got to 20 days. Looking back (isn't retrospect a great thing), I can see that I was having annovulatory cycles certainly 3-4 years ago, and the last year has been bizarrely irregular with every manner of possibility.
So.....I'm now going to place myself on the 'late perimenopause' section of the STRAW. I know that the 60 day with no period is instructive as a guide to really being in that phase, but I've never in my life had a time where my period hasn't come (apart from pregnancy), so something must be different? Does this mean I am now low oestrogen at the moment? (cos I've always thought in earlier stages I was low progesterone).I feel tired, a bit cold, headachey and tearful right now, which ties in with low Oestrogen?
INterested in the thoughts of anyone who knows and understands STRAW and hormones

I know I'm probably being a pain, but I do like to try and understand things if I can - specifically as I can't take HRT so am trying to reassure myself that I am slowly but surely mmoving through this horrible episode in life. Sorry, lots of questions.
