Long menstrual cycles every month

[Anonymous]

I am 41. For the past 6 months, my cycle (which had always been 28 days) has now lengthened to 32-35 days.

I have a few symptoms of peri-menopause but I thought in peri menopause that first the cycle shortens to 25-26 days, then lengthens as you get closer to menopause.

Last week I went to my GYN for a checkup and to discuss this. She didn't think it was anything to be concerned about and my exam was normal.

I also got blood work done that shows my FSH is still normal and I am not close to menopause at all.

I know I am ovulating regularly because I keep track of it so these longer cycles are not because of anovulatory cycles. I ovulate on Day 10. I don't understand how I can ovulate on day 10 but my period doesn't come until day 35?????

GYN wasn't concerned but didn't really give an explanation for these longer cycles. I've never skipped a period altogether.

You need a more knowledgeable doctor.
