51 periods have alwys been pretty regular cycle of every 27 days or so
a few months back this suddenly went to 56 days, since then I seem to have a ‘reverse’ cycle I seem to have a period that lasts around 21 -23 days but is very light and not at all painful (unusual for me) nothing at all for about 5-9 days then off we go on the long period again, this whilst not practical was managable as I felt OK. Now about 4 days ago we seem to have the priod from hell, I’m so heavy having to use tampons and pads as leaking through in about 45 minutes, stomach cramps that reduce you to tears, sleep is almost impossible thinking about putting a campbed in the bathroom! A bit hot and sweaty but either weepy and emotional one minute or some temeper crazed hag the next. Even I don’t like me…………….guess from other comments what ever happens is normal but at least it helps to read other similar comments and know you’re not suffering any odd.

I am 51, still have my period, although it is changing. It is much shorter than years ago, but sometimes quite heavy. I do have occasional hot flashes. My main complaint is lower back pain. I’ve had an xray and it shows negative for arthritis. Can someone out there inform me about this issue, or let me know if they experienced this same problem. Also, are there any supplements that you would suggest?
Thank you

I am 54. I know I am menopausal because my periods only come occasionally and in between my periods I experience terrible hot flushes etc. I have gone as long as 8 months with no period and then got one. When I do get a period, I get terrible cystitis for about 10 days beforehand. This time, it’s only been 3 months between periods but I am having terrible period pains and lower back pain. The pain is really bad almost like I had when I was a teenager and is making me feel quite ill. Has anyone else experienced increased pain as they get older?

Hi. I’m 43 and think I’m going through the perimenopausal (?) stage. My mum went through the menopause at 45/46 so I reckon my day’s are numbered! I’ve woken up the last few nights absolutely sweating and had to open all the windows in the bedroom and put a fan on. I’ve never had breast tenderness or stomach pain before but have been experiencing this the past few months. I’m still getting periods. My blood pressure is also through the roof even though I’m already on medication for it! Does anyone else thing I’m going through the menopause and what advice can you give me? I am NOT going to go on HRT if I am so any alternatives gratefully received.
