Spiralling - hormonal imbalance

Hiya,

I was feeling v rundown & tired for some time & had bloods taken back in January & was diagnosed with anaemia & given tablets. I don’t feel like they helped at all & they were just for 3 months & feel as tired/run down as ever.

At the time, it came up in conversation with my Mum that I was having irregular periods (I have a tracker app & consistently for well over a year). What once lasted 5 days max & came every 28 days was now 10 days max & every 19 days…..The Doctor did ask about periods but seemed more concerned if if they were heavy or sore.

Flash forward 3 months & I call up re medication to stop periods on holiday & just mentioned the irregularity again & the (male this time) Doctor books me in for hormonal imbalance blood tests. I’ve been Googling & they can be for thyroid issues (which the bloods in Jan also covered), infertility (👶🏼👶🏼), PCOS (no) or pre/peri menopause (Doc already counted it out as too young).

I’m just curious if anyone else has had these kinds of tests & what came of it?

Thoughts?

Period due two days ago…

Pre-menopause

Quick question ladies 35 and I have been experiencing super light. periods. Is this a sign going through pre-menopause?

Menstrual cycle syncing experience?

Hi all, read the book In The Flo from Alisa Vitti and feel like I've lived in the dark for most of my adult life 😯
Anyone has experience with cycle syncing your life (food, exercise, planning schedule etc) with your period phases? Did it help you in any way - feel healthier, happier, lose weight, get less PMS... ?
It feels like something everyone should be taught at school but no women I directly spoke to knows anything about it...

Period missing and no postive tests any ideas?

Last period was Feb 12th-16th. No signs of period coming. I’m on cycle day 40 now. My period cycles are usually 28-33 days. Now it’s currently predicting 34 day cycles. Regardless isn’t 40 days extra late should I go to the doctor?

Period late

Could I be going through menopause at 26? I missed a period 2 months ago then had one the next month this month no period yet just feeling crampy and like my periods going to come but nothing yet, sleepy as Heck! Sore breast I took a test but was negative then a couple of days later I wound up spotting for a little then it stopped thought it was my period but nothing do you guys think it’s pregnancy or menopause my hormones have been sooooo off since my 2nd daughter which was a year and a half ago they never went back normal
