I'm 42. my mother started menopause at 60 (yes, really!) my sister is starting to show some signs of perimenopause at 47.
My cycle used to be 35 days. for the past two years or so it's been 31. The last few months it's been 28.
Okay, now here's the new part.
For the past 2 1/2 weeks I've felt extremely pregnant. very sore breasts, very heavy uterus. every day I feel like when I go to the washroom I'm going to see a red spot, but it never comes. Been averse to some smells. Been fatigued.
The only times I've experienced this is when I was pregnant, both times. second baby I knew I was pregnant long before period was due, and kept taking negative tests but knew they were wrong, and they were!
It's now 29 days since my last period started, so I'm not exactly late.
Oh yes, and my husband had a vasectomy a few years ago but never tested to see if he still had swimmers.
So what do you think? Pregnant, or perimenopause symptoms?
sounds like pregnancy.
