    Hi Pamela,

    I am hoping to hear similar reports from post women 😃

    I am only 43 but the last few years it's been 21 day cycle but very light. Lately, still around 25 days and the same spotting then light days you are experiencing. I don't even have bleeding a full day. I intend to make another gyno appointment soon because this just seems abnormal for my age. I have read smokers go thru menopause a few years earlier though, I reluctantly quit 9 months ago hoping it would help symptoms.

    I don't understand why some of us have it so bad and then other women seem to be having a great time in their 40s.

      im a smoker as well but i cut way down 5 a day if that, just seems this has been a very long road and no end in sight. im seeing nothing now so idk if period trying to come or not at all kind new this happening so light and very little usually cycle would have started by now. i just want this over with already going on 10 years of this October will be 10 years

      10 years ðŸ˜ĶI have had odd stuff since my mid 30s and now think it was all hormonally related.

      Unfortunately there is very little information out there on what smoking does to hormones. I am guessing it affects stuff since it supposedly lowers testosterone in men and affects libido, probably does something to women but who knows.

      None of this makes any sense, I just keep hoping that those of us that have a really bad perimenopause will get some relief post.

      this October makes 10 years of this crap its really changed me and ive become a hyperchondriac sick of it all

    Yes, odd light cycles and weird feelings through body.

    From what I read, I think the light period is low progesterone. It seems we only produce progesterone if we ovulate and as our eggs age, we don't ovulate every month. So we can have low estrogen but if we don't ovulate can have symptoms off the charts of both low estrogen and estrogen dominance due to low progesterone . And if we ovulate sometimes, it makes it hard to treat the symptoms because they can change month to month.

    Basically it all sucks.
