Ok thanks. Its just that I've been told I'm either pregnant or I have a hormonal imbalance and I'm about to do my fourth urine test for my doctor, so I'm trying to find out what else can cause these symptoms.

You're a bit young to be going through perimenopause, although it's not impossible.

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you. Your best bet is your doctor. I hope everything works out.

Good luck.

Thanks, but my doctors have been useless which is why I'm on here, but thank you for the advice.

Have you considered changing doctors? Is that an option?

I went through this at around age 26. After thousands of dollars of tests they could find nothing wrong. As it turned out, I would ovulate, but not menstruate. I have a beautiful 14 year old daughter and a 6 year old son now. And my periods were never regular after that, but I continued to ovulate.

Well at my doctors surgery you have to ring up the mornin that you want the appointment so it's a first come first served basis, so if I did change doctors I don't think it would change much.

The only thing is that I don't have children, but I would love to have some. So I don't really want it to be the premenopause. However I would love to be pregnant

You really are too young to be experiencing perimenopause. Have the lab work done and see what they come up with.

The blood tests would be the labwork I am talking about. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear.

Ive decided to do a test myself as the doctor says there just as good and I won't know about my test from the doctors for over a week, the wait would get to me.
