Hi all you lovely ladies.

Ok so I think I'm peri menopausal due to my periods being all over the place and been on cerezette mini pill for a couple of years. Occasional hot flush lots of anxiety, low mood etc but anxiety is through the roof today as I thought my period ( that's been on and off for a couple of weeks) was finally coming to the end but I'm getting cramps and the feeling you get when you are due on. Anyone else had this towards end of period?? I'm 43 but my mum went through it at my age oh and I had ultrasound scans last yr due to a really heavy period and that was normal apart from small fibroid.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

    Hi Sharon. i am now postmenopause, but now thinking back i had IBS very bad during menopause, had it for a good few years not nice for anyone ! I do know that anxiety can bring it on or make it worse. I took medication for this on prescription, i don't now take anything, which makes me think peri/ or menopause can make IBS worse? smile
