| Period has been weird the last few years after being like clockwork entire life. For instance, it didn’t come at all for 6 months, and then I just got it twice within 24 days. Does that sound like perimenopause? I wish it would just go away completely already. |

| Yup. I didn't get it for more than two months and then it just came twice in 20 days. |

Welcome to Period Roulette! No Rules! No Regularity! No Flow Control! It takes a full year of no periods to know its over.
But Wait! There's More! Heavy flow, short period, long period. Lots and lots of surprise periods. Mood swings, night sweats, and hot flashes. Depression. Short-tempered. Weight gain, skin changes, and, my personal favorite, the hair on your legs migrates up to your face! It varies for everyone, from few minor symptoms to full-blown crazy. Take to your doctor and talk to your friends about what they're experiencing -- It helps. |

| Girl, I'm in my third week of pms. I never know when my period will start. Last time, it was 24 days. This time, it's day 37 and still waiting for it to start. I have cramps, mood swings, cravings, etc, but no period. |

| You can take birth control to regulate your periods. |

I could have literally written the exact same post. The endless PMS is awful. |

| OP here. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I should have known my period was coming because I went BALLISTIC about something the other day that wasn’t that big a deal. |

| Yes, its been really strange for me. I stopped for 6 months, then a few months of uneven periods, then it just stopped again. |

Period Roulette - I'm going to use that. Thanks! Stop reading if you want to believe (and this is fine) that you're in for a bumpy 18 months ... I'm on year four of no period in August, incessant period September through October (30+days), normal November through May, then full gore June and July. At least the blood is manageable. It's the brain fog, headaches, hot flashes, anger that's driving me cray cray! |

| NP here. No one mentioned age here. Can someone tell me when this all started for you? I am mid-forties shivering in my boots about this. |

NP. I'm 51.5. Was always very regular. Have had the extra heavy periods for 2 years, and the cycle swings (anywhere from 3-6 weeks between periods) for about a year.
super tampons are my new best friend... |

| I’m 49, I’ve had heavy periods for years but always 28 days in between. Last month I completely skipped it, this month I had a light flow for about 5 days then apparently a full regular flow. This is my 12th day of bleeding. I’m really afraid this is only the beginning. |
