Hi everyone. I'm new here and all of this is very new to me. Feeling confused and unsure about what I'm going through so just wondering if other people have had similar experiences.
I'm about to turn 42. My periods went haywire a couple of years ago with bleeding between cycles. The cycles became heavy and very irregular. I've had night sweats around my period since my early 30s so didn't really think much of it. However in the last few months I've been getting really low, depressed, and irritable for around 2 weeks out of 4.
4 weeks ago I stated getting terrible hot flushes all afternoon and evening and through the night. I've not really slept without waking every 2 hours in about 4 weeks.
Then suddenly, the hot flushes have stopped over the past 2 or 3 days, (still not sleeping though!) My period hasn't arrived but I've been getting cramping for about 5 days.
Just wondering if the hot flushes thing is normal in early perimenopause or would I be getting them all the time? Beginning to wonder if I now just imagined it all and I'm going crazy, except for the fact that I'm still floored with awful low moods.
