Hi Sarah and other ladies! I am 49, have not missed yet but have has some variability. Last month 35 days. Heavy flow. And this is why I am posting. Heavy flow can mean your iron stores are depleting. Have your Serum FERRITIN checked. Low ferritin can cause fatigue and also scalp hair loss. Leading cause of hair loss in women. Mimics androgenic hair loss pattern. Miniaturizes follicles, etc. your GP probably is clueless about actual "good" levels. The "normal lab range" may be 20-90. But if you are below 40 you will have hair loss. Once your cycles cease and the blood loss stops it should be less of an issue. Retest then and stop supplementing if it is 70. Proferrin ES is a polypeptide which helps quickly to raise. B12 is important too. Natural good quality colostrum, like immune tree, has lactoferrin which helps raise also. But do not buy a synthetic lactoferrin as it contains no iron but will bind what you have.

Hi Sarah,
Did your GP shed any light? I'm in a similar situation, I've missed two periods now and am bloating, cramping in tummy, mood swings, lack of motivation, nil energy. Aching and fatigued. Blurgh. I feel rotten.
I'm so glad to have found you guys.
