How many times did you test?

Twice, days 8 and 9.

I vote test again.

OP,

Are you done having kids? You might consider birth control pills, or getting your tubes tied, or having DH get a vasectomy.

Peace of mind would be worth it, especially if you are irregular to begin with.

19:15 here. I don't know. Maybe. But I thought menopause was less frequent periods, not more frequent. I need to check with my mom about when she had menopause. I'm pretty sure it was much later. Haven't had any other symptoms.

I'm thinking it might be fibroids. I had a lot 13 years ago. Had to have surgery to get them removed before I could get pregnant.

OP here. Hmm...I had cystic ovaries for awhile but after my 2nd kid, that cleared up. Maybe I should go back to the dr again? I'm not on hormonal birth control, but I am 37...maybe getting close to peri-menopause?

When did your mother go into menopause, I think early menopause is hereditary?

Wait until your next cycle and see what happens!

OP here. I don't know...I was adopted and don't know my medical history.

Same thing happened in April/May: 2 periods within 2 weeks, then 4 weeks later a June period followed by this one 2 weeks later. Ugh.

Wow...menopause?

My period can be weeks late. It's just stress.

It's probably not anything. I'm in my late 20's. 37 seems very young for pre-menopausal. I would give it a week or two more.

I skipped a period once last year when I was 37. The only other time that happened was when I was pregnant. I freaked out and went in to the gyn who did an ultrasound and a few other tests and came up with nothing at all. She said it happens to some women as they age.

I do tend to have irregular cycles, but this is pretty late. Tests are negative. Do you think I just skipped a cycle? I hate being waiting on tenterhooks, carrying around supplies should my period hit.
