I am 50 now but I used to have pretty heavy periods as my younger self. They went lighter in my early to mid forties then I would skip a couple months, then have a heavy period. Sometimes I would skip three months and have a very light period and a couple weeks later have a heavy period. I would skip four months and think "Ok, I am done!" and would have another period. Eventually they stopped all together. I think the last month (1.4 years ago. I had what was like sputtering. Light for a couple weeks then very very light for another week and finally it was done. I also had symptoms a for years before my periods caught up with the hellish program. My doctor even told me that I wasn't in menopause even though my periods were erratic, at that time she had my hormone levels tested and she said I was normal. Ha ha, I haven't been "normal" in years. (She's in her mid to late 30's). She didn't really subscribe to perimenopause.So I felt like a hypochondriac. Another 5 to 10 years she might whistle a different tune, lol.
Anyway in my experience my period didn't just stop it kept me guessing. Heavy? Late? Long? Light? Early? I hope this helps. Hang in there!
I told my husband I feel like us women are hormone combat veterans. It feels like my hormones are at war with me, physically and psychologically.
