you ask how do you know if peri or not... well can only base it on my own experience, first.. was night sweats at age approx 40/41 years of age, woke up drenched, legs slipping off each other with sweat, also hot flushesby day and urge to wee alot, and brain fog, and emotional, took things to heart... then like you my FSH blood test was negative, but.... only because ( Dr Said) my hormones were probably more level at that time, I then bought some home testing pee sticks for menopause and often did them, and bingo they began to show I was positive for peri meno... since then like now, my blood test FSH test is peri menopausal... the FSH blood tests can be tricky as the hormone levels fluctuate all the time during peri...
and I began all this 8 years ago, at first also I had weird prolonged periods and bled for 21 months either normal, heavy, spotting, streaking, without many clear days, it drove me crazy... hope this helps abit..
take care Jay x

2-3 ago really terrible anxiety kicked in causing me to go on sertraline. I put it down at the time to stress and ongoing journey of recovery from childhood trauma- though in that regard it felt like I was going backwards as I had never felt the need for medication as difficult as that journey had got over the years.
Then there was the night chest sweats during that time. Periods also became a bit heavier and I felt like an old eating disorder was coming back. About 6 months ago anxiety totally subsided and I weaned myself off medication.

i forgot that one ... but have mentioned it on other headings on here, in my very early peri ... as well as 21 months of weird ongoing periods, I also had 3 fainting bouts, ( in 18 month period) one was in a big store ( Boots) in a city, I felt unwell and asked the makeup lady if I could sit on her stool, which was high up, and I went, bang, passed out, fell off stool, I banged my head on the floor and woke with a policeman going through my phone, and paramedics... my blood pressure was very very low, I never have high blood pressure its always on low side.. 100 to 110 / 65 ish even now, but it went down to 65 .... good lord, I began to recognise the dizzy spells and as soon as i felt this way would sit or lie down depending where I was, and was told to eat little and often and always breakfast, this helped alot, I dont have them now ... its very scary as back then I began to not want to go out alone and lived in fear.. but now its passed.. and I always eat little and often, and force abit of breakfast down even if I dont want it, also weight loss to the point of being skeletal, my family thought I was seriously ill, but i wasnt... thank goodness.. it was just early peri for me... hope you ladies are okay today .. Jayx
