44 years old missed period not pregnant

Posted , 4 users are following.

I am 44 years old and i am 9 days late for my period, I have the period cramps and have had one occasion of very light spotting. I have always been very regular and on time. i did a pregnancy test and it was negative. I am starting to worry something is wrong. I suffer from an anxiety disorder. could this be perimenopause?

    Hi, yes, it could totally be the first signs of perimenopause. I was having that at your age.

    In any case, are you up to date with your gyneo check ups?

      thank you, that's what I am thinking also, I do have an appointment with my doctor today.

      yes I am all up to date, I just had a smear done in September

      In that case it's more than likely peri. I started with things like that at around 42 and I'm almost 50 and still not completely menopausal, it's draaaaging on 😉
