42 and I don't know where I fit. Downloaded one of those cycle apps last year and it kept asking if I was trying to conceive or avoid pregnancy and I just... neither? I'm trying to understand why my periods have gone from every 28 days to every 19, then 34, then 19 again. The app doesn't really have a box for that. But then I look at menopause forums and everyone seems to be talking about things that feel years away from me and I feel like I've wandered into the wrong room. So I've started just writing it down myself. Old school notes app. Date it started, how long, how heavy, how I felt the week before. That's it. No algorithm. Just me building up a picture so that when I finally get a GP appointment I'm not sitting there going "um, it's been a bit... different?" and having them nod and send me away. Anyone else in this weird in-between bit? Too young to feel like this makes sense, too old for the apps to be helpful? x
