Title: Symptoms of a Period
Post by: toffeecushion on March 08, 2017, 11:01:38 AM
Anyone else get the feelings that they are about to start a period but it doesn't happen?

Do you mean cramps etc?  I was so bad a few weeks ago I ended up at GP.  I've had a hysterectomy too! I was hugging a hot water bottle. In my case I have a slight prolapse, but apparently not bad enough to be causing the pain.  I've had cramps off & on for about 4 years now & hadn't bothered with it before.  Now being referred, just in case.  GP doesn't think it's anything to worry about though.

Yep.  I haven't had a period for over 15 years but occasionally the feelings are enough for me to think "Oh no, not after all *these* years!"  ::)

Toffeecushion where are you in your journey- are you skipping periods a lot now? It may be if you are that you are still getting the feelings that a period is coming. I have had this a lot recently- like PMT but no bleeding.

Machair - That's what it's like, PMT without the bleed.  I am missing periods, had my last one in December.  It was really heavy but only lasted a couple of days.  This last week I have been feeling anxious and have the usual PMT feelings, keep expecting a bleed.

I've felt like this on and off  for a couple of weeks now, been 9 weeks since my last period. Felt v irritable today so expecting something. Weird we're all feeling the same way Machair and Sparkle!
