TMI but question re: periods

[lil_acorn]

I normally have my period every.28.days like clockwork (for 11 months in a row!), but last month it came at 26 and this month it's 25 days. What gives? I am 38. Is this the start of anything I should worry about?

Peri-menopause can happen for up to 10 years (YEARS!!!) before actual menopause occurs... just something to think about!

Otherwise, has anything been "off" or different lately? Travel, different stresses, etc? Missed BC pills? Weaning child?

Mine used to be clockwork and now it fluctuates a few days either side of 28 days.

:yeahthat: I am 41.

I'll be 40 soon & I've noticed since having DS2, that mine are anywhere from 21-28 days. It drives me crazy, it's different every month. My OB/GYN was not concerned.

I'm only 31 and my periods used to be every 28 days as well. Now they are anywhere from every 26-32 days! My mom and grandma didn't start menopause till they were both over 50 years old, so I don't think it could be related for me. I keep an eye out for AF starting on day 26 and if I ever make it to day 33 (never have), I'll take a pregnancy test! I'm on the minipill still, so it may be related to that.
