50 years old and my periods have basically lost the plot. I went 47 days without one, thought right, that's it, it's happening, told my husband, felt weirdly emotional about it. And then. THEN. It came back like it had a point to prove. I genuinely had to change twice at work on a Tuesday morning and I work in an open plan office with mostly men in their thirties. The shame of it. I am not twelve. I've started keeping a little calendar on my phone, nothing fancy, just noting when it starts, how heavy, how many days. Feels a bit ridiculous at my age but the GP asked me last time how long my cycles were and I just sort of waved my hand and said "irregular" and she wrote something down and I have no idea what. I want to go back with actual numbers. Also wondering whether anyone has asked their GP specifically about iron levels? I am so tired all the time and I don't know if that's the blood loss or sleep or just life but I feel like I should be asking for something when I go in. Just don't want to turn up and blank again x
