Hi,
Well for the last 18 months I've had weird symptoms around the time of ovulation, periods and just in general.
My ovulation symptoms were initially dodgy tum, shakes,panicky at night with high temp, bad headaches,itchy skin, cold shivers,cold/throat symptoms.
This then changed in the last 4 months, the dodgy stomach stopped and I didn't suffer as badly. Then the last two months I've developed a rash on my forearms the week before my period along with cold like symptoms and horrrible breast pain.
I was on the pill (Microgynon 30) and have been back and to the docs. (Male locum)-useless!
He's adamant because I'm on the pill the rash and other symptoms I've been experiencing can't possibly be due to perimenopause. I asked for bloods which he refused cos as on pill wouldn't show any change.
My periods used to be every 29 days and would be heavy for 3.5 days and light for 2.5-3 days. Now tho.. periods are every 26-27 days and are very light. First day heavyish but nothing like before then 2.5 days of light.
Along with so many other symptoms I've forgotten (brain fog is unreal) arm pain,higher temp all time,dry eyes,fatigue,bad taste in mouth,sore breasts,night sweats,can't sleep, anxious,clumsy,dizziness,palpitations at night,itchy skin... I'm sure there are some I've not put on here.
Really am so grateful I've found this site cos it's really helping me see I'm not going mad!
Thanks for replies and reading 😊
