Hey everyone,
New to the site, been looking through topic discussions but finally built up the courage to get involved.
I’m 43 and my periods have become very erratic (between 14 and 30 day cycle). Very short but heavy.
I’m generally feeling rotten, low mood, anxiety, cramps most of the month, achy tired legs, lower back ache and the constant feeling that I have a UTI (each dip test detects blood but no infection)
I’ve felt like this on and off for over a year, I had bloods & scans last year but all okay, my GP is taking bloods again and sending me for a bladder scan but refuses to check my hormone levels until I’ve missed 6 periods.
Does anyone else have symptoms similar to mine and know it’s due to being peri? Thanks so much ☺️
