I'm in the age bracket for perimenopause. My question is my periods have always been regular since they started but the last few months I've noticed a change in my cycle for example i was a week late last month this month a week early. 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.

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 🙂🩷
Thank you for this information it's really appreciated 🙂 I have noticed I seem more tetchy too.

Hi im 39 and notice a few months back my cycles had shortened a week. I have been to the doctor for bloods and they think it could be the start of peri. Although this cycle has been a normal 28 cycle. I would see your doctor and get some bloods done. Message if you want to chat about it x
