I'm so confused

I'll be 37 in a couple months and over the past year my periods which have always been like clockwork, 28-32 day cycles have since postpartum turned into 19-24 day cycles. And my periods have always been 7 days so I literally bleed half the month! I haven't seen an gyn about it yet but I started using progesterone cream this past cycle and it's the shortest cycle yet. Does this sound like Perimenopause or something else? I'm so confused..

good to know but I haven't been diagnosed with perimenopause yet. I was told my friends and research that my short cycles were due to low progesterone.

the fact sheet was really helpful though. Thank you 🙏🏼 I'll make an appointment to get to the bottom of it.
