This keeps happening could this be the start of perimenopause I am 41.

Hello 🙂 That can be a sign for some, but there may be other causes for erratic periods, too.

This Symptom Handbook from M-brace The Change might be useful:

Our M-brace The Change group here on Peanut has lots of posts and information on all aspects of peri/menopause, and we can give non-medical advice and guidance there too if that's what you need 🙂🩷
