If you had periods of 33+ days for 2 years and then suddenly periods of 26 and then 18 days, would you say this could be menopause? I am 36 in January. Just wondered how it affected other people!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.When I first read your post I thought you meant your period was lasting for 33+ days! When I had my baby, periods went up the wall - only just returning to normal after one lasting 40 days, one week break, then twenty days, had coil put in, perma-period for 35days now settling down to oldish pattern. You don't say how long ago your periods went to 26 days then 18. If you're on new contraception or other medication it could be down to that. Every 18 days is a bit often to be having a period though, if you're actually menstruating for a week you'll be losing a lot of blood. I hope you feel OK, and good luck when you go to the doctor (as I presume you will or have already done)
Its a possibility scarlett..as periods usually get closer together then you go into the next stage of further apart..but the closer together stage could last for 3 to 5 years..everyone is different..you can get some tablets off the doctor if the closer together stage becomes a nuisance i.e every 10 days or some thing ridiculouse like that..
