Hi all

I am 46 and have always had regular periods.  About 18 months ago things started to go a bit off piste, sometimes 2 weeks between them, sometimes 6, sometimes very heavy, sometimes very light.  Now I have had nothing for 8 weeks BUT all this week I feel like I am having a period, there is just no bleeding.  I have all the other symptoms; spots, greasy skin, low mood, clumsiness, bloated tummy and perhaps strangest of all period pains.  It's very odd.  It would be reassuring to know if anyone else out there has had similar symptoms. 

Thanks

Hiyer,

Me!

I currently have everything you describe except the period pains, but then I've never had period pains in my life at 'normal' times. I am however getting the griping bowel feeling I used to get a the start of a period. I'm 50 and now heading to 60 days without a period, and  would honestly say that for the last two weeks I've been convinced every day that my period is about the start/is starting! All my past 'clues' to the period coming have been there; mood fluctating between crying despair and coping, forgetting things, spots, water retention. I can't provide huge amounts of experience on this, as its the first time in my life of it happening too. I've had a few years in peri-meno, the last 12 months have been the most erratic- 18 day cycles and 40 day cycles. Prior to that I had 4-5 years of very heavy periods and shorter cycles.  I know there are loads of people on here who have had similar to what you are describing, as I've read their experiences on these boards during my time here....and I'm sure some will be along shortly. Just thought I'd reply and let you know you aren't alone!

[OddPomme]

Phew - thank you.  That is so reassuring! 

[Charys]

I'll be honest, there have been times over hte last few weeks where I've even thought that I must be bleeding and its 'stuck' and not coming out !

Thanks all, it's really reassuring to hear that other people have the same symptoms.  I can stop worrying now

I'm still here 'waiting' with my silent period.....

I have even been getting the night sweats the night before (like I started having a few years ago when peri started) and the constant crying the day before. Ta da.....next morning.....nothing......

Its the oddest thing, as if your body wants to do something, kind of remembers how to and then can't do it.

Yes it's quite common part of peri albeit confusing

Pms with no period period with no pms period with pms no period for weeks or months two periods back to back heavy flow, light flow,...all down to the fluctuation of hormones as our ovaries malfunctioning

I've never checked the gusset of my pants as much as in the last decade.

I should make that my signature here lol,

I have been period free since 2001 and still get 'oh not after all this time' feelings

So, my phantom period has now become a period on day 56.

Looking back OddPomme......I had the same on day 29, a period that felt like it was happening but nowt. So, it might or might not turn into one for you now....it might disappear and return to properly be a period later on.
