42 and feeling like I've fallen through a gap. Period apps keep showing me fertility windows and ovulation stickers and I'm there like, that's not really why I'm here anymore. But then I look at menopause forums and everyone's talking about being post-menopausal for years and I think, am I even allowed in? My cycles have gone a bit strange the last six months, shorter, then longer, then a 19-day one that absolutely floored me, and I've started keeping notes on my phone just to have something concrete to show the GP. Not sure what I'm expecting her to say but "you're 42, it's probably stress" is not going to cut it this time. Anyway. Hi. Glad this place exists.
