Has anyone found that their cycle/pms symptoms have changed at they have reached their late 30s? I’m 38, almost 39 and have found that I now suffer from headaches/nausea at times in the week leading up to af arrival and also suffer from spotting for a day or two before af arrives (whereas it used to be all of a sudden). So now, pms symptoms are very similar to pregnancy.

I’m finding it so hard every month as I get my hopes up that I’m pregnant, I suffered a chemical pregnancy in Oct for which I had implantation bleeding, so now any time I have spotting it’s always ‘is this it or is it just af’ again.

I know a lot of people are going through much harder times, it’s all just getting me down and today, as I wait yet again (9 months ttc my 2nd) to see if spotting is af arriving, I feel very sad ☹️
