Hi my name is Marie, I am just trying to figure out what the heck is going on with me :confused: Ive been having problems with my period for several years now, since I was in my late 20's. I am now 37, when I say problems I mean I would get 2 periods a month. Usually about 2 weeks apart it seemed that when I was suppose to be ovulating I would bleed instead. Anyway I got used to that it became the norm for me evrey month. Now I'm having this other issue I didn't have a period for 3 months, I wqs going crazy thinking I was preagant again at 37! My kids are already grown well for the most part my oldest is 19 I then have a 16 year old and a 14 year old. But pregnancy test after pregnancy test kept telling me I wasn't preagant! I was just about to get a blood test to find out when I finally got my period after 3 months of not having one. And I know it's a normal period,(well normal for me) its not just spotting or anything. I have cramps and the whole 9 yards. I also started experiencing nightsweats, and hot flashes recently actually they started about the same time.. .
So I guess my q is can I be going through early menapause, and in case your wondering why hasn't this dumb woman gone to a gyn :eek: the answer is NO INSURANCE, and I live in a small town that has no free health clinics. I hope someone can help me with this.

Thank you,
Marie

This could very well be what is called perimenopause, however, it is impossible to diagnose over the internet as you well know.

Unfortunately, a visit to the doctor is warranted to rule out any serious illness such as uterine or cervical cancers, and such. I understand not having insurance, I don't have it either. But it is imperative that you get it diagnosed properly. I don't know where you live, but could there be a clinic close to your town?
