perimenopuase and missed period

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi I need advice.

Im just turned 46. I had my last child 10 years ago. My periods are always 28/29 days without fail. I am 8 days late.

Of course I panicked and thought I was pregnant. I did 5 pregnancy test all negative. Could this be a sign of perimenopause. I dont have any other symptoms ( well not that Im aware off) or could I be pregnant.

Any advice would be great

    Hello,

    That's exactly how my peri started, so basically yes, it could be.

    I kept getting preganancy scares in peri lol.

    I would wait another week or 2 and if you still don't have your period test for pregnancy again. if negative, then I would deffo say peri.

    Are you up to date with your gynae check ups? that's very important.
