Hello, I'm new on here, so apologies if this question has been asked a million times before! I also wanted to say that I do have a doctor's appointment booked, but am worrying quite a lot, so just wondered if what I'm experiencing anyone else has too just so I know if I need to freak out or not?
My periods have always been sporadic from the word go, so them being even more sporadic now I'm perimenopausal is not surprising, but up until recently up and when I've had a period it's been what you'd expect in terms of it completes itself over a number of days - if that makes sense. They are weirdly lighter or weirdly heavier, but know that's now 'normal'. However, what has changed (and why I've got a doctor's appointment booked) is that recently I had very light spotting for a week, then a very light period, for 2 weeks. I had nothing for a couple of days, then 'normal' period symptoms started again (bloating, cramps etc) and then I had spotting again for 5 or so days. The first period started 10 days late, the second was almost bang on time. It's almost like they butted up to each other date wise, but the second time my body thought, what the hell I can't be bothered with this so did a very lame attempt of a period. Has anyone else experienced anything like that please?
Other than that, I just seem to be having 'normal' perimenopausal stuff, tiredness, anxiety, sleep issues, the odd sweat etc which I'm coping with.
I'd be grateful for any thoughts.
Thank you x
