122 days since last period
Hi all,
I am 45 and have been experience peri for over a year but still mostly having regular periods. In September, I went 44 days then 17 (that was around Thanksgiving) and now its been 122 days. I’ve been having hot flashes and night sweats and also some cramping, although pretty mild. Today, I finally called my gyno and I am going for a blood test on April 5, then an ultrasound and to meet with him on April 9. As though it’s some big joke, I’ve been having really bad cramps all afternoon/evening and my boobs are a bit tender, which hasn’t happened in the last few months so now I am waiting to see if I start bleeding!
My mom died of uterine cancer (at 72), as did her sister, so I am reluctant to wait too long. I’m sure this is just more peri-menopausal joy, but I’d like to make sure nothing else is going on. Anyone else have a similar experience with missing 4 periods, but having cramps? I guess I thought they’d kind of sputter for longer before taking a leave of absence.
Thanks!
