    I am going through the exact same thing! Routine blood work showed a low positive ANA, so doctor sent me to a rheumatologist who ran a bunch more tests. Everything else has come back normal. Super scary though!!! Hang in there!!

    When I was in my forties I got tested to see if I was peri menopausal and that said yes.

    Went to another doctor and got tested again and that gp said I wasn't peri menopausal.

    My sister in law,was told she was in menopause early because her periods had stopped and her mother and grandmother had early menopause.

    You can only imagine two years later without a period she gave birth to a beautiful baby.

    So in my opinion they are not always correct and GPS have a little knowledge of hundreds of things and I think there should be a menopause clinic available to women as soon as we first get the news under the guise of the well woman clinic.

    Please don't worry yourself ( sorry I'm the last person to say that , worried day and night) until you really have to.

    Hi I had multiple FSH and other tests that said I was not perimenopausal (FSH or 3 or 4) and a mullein test that said same, and a few that said I might be (FSH of 11 a few times). None of the tests are truly accurate as if you are in perimenopause your hormones are fluctuating every day. Hormones fluctuate even if you are not. So doctors are clueless, don't have any accurate tests, and really you have to base it off your symptoms. If you are having perimenopause symptoms, increased anxiety, weight gain, etc (google the symptoms) then no matter what your blood tests say, you are in perimenopause. Don't rely on the tests to tell you your'e not. If you are not having any symptoms than you are probably fine.

    Yes. About 2 years ago I started experiencing Raynaud's phenomenon. Since it got bothersome at some point I asked my doctor about it. He ran ANA test that came back positive. I already had random crazy symptoms anyway, so that made me feel very anxious. Than they ran extra tests just like you and all came back negative. I was referred to rheumatologist and will see him in few months but I read a bunch about ANA testing and autoimmune disorders. The test can suggest that there might be a problem, but not always. If the test comes back positive and you have symptoms- diagnosis can be given. If you have no symptoms, even positive test isn't taken into consideration. Sometimes test is negative but symptoms are overwhelming. It is tricky and very scary too. I hope your other tests come back negative. False positive is often found in women. I am confused about what to expect so I try not to expect anything. Hope all comes back well.
