47 and nobody warned me about this bit. My cycles have just gone... weird. Like 24 days, then 34 days, then 27, then nothing for six weeks and I thought I was pregnant (I am not). I have been a 28-day-like-clockwork woman since I was 15 so this has completely thrown me. I've started writing it down because I couldn't keep it in my head and I wanted something concrete to show my GP rather than just saying "things feel off". Also tracking when I sleep badly and how much caffeine I've had that day because I noticed the nights I have a second coffee after 2pm are the nights I wake up at 3am staring at the ceiling convinced I'm dying. And the mornings after those nights are... not good. Brain fog doesn't cover it. I basically need a proper breakfast or I'm useless until noon, which I never used to need. I keep second-guessing whether any of this is worth mentioning to my GP. Like will she just say it's normal variation? But the changes since last year are pretty stark when I write them side by side. So I'm going to bring the notes and see what she says. Bit nervous honestly. x
