I am 52 and just now feel like like I'm starting peri-menopause. Mostly night sweats, a little weight gain but my period is all over the place. Up until Feb this yr I get my period exactly on time. My husband says I'll be 70 and still buying pads and tampons, lol. Then after my Feb period I didn't get one for 65 days. I was so happy. Then last week I get it and now a week later I'm still heavy, ugh! It's going to be good for me to read all your stories.
