Does your period change in your 40s?
Does your period change in your 40s?
In your 40s — and maybe even in your late 30s — yo-yoing estrogen and progesterone can make periods unpredictable. They could come more frequently. Or they might happen less often. The flow might be very heavy or — preferably — very light.
Is it normal to not have your period for 40 days?
There are many reasons why a woman may miss her period, or why periods might stop altogether. Most women have a period every 28 days or so, but it’s common to have a slightly shorter or longer cycle than this (from 21 to 40 days). Some women do not always have a regular menstrual cycle.
Are your periods irregular in your 40s?
If you’re in your mid- to late 40s and your periods are becoming irregular, you may be in the menopausal transition, or “perimenopause.” This is the natural stage your body goes through as you approach menopause. This stage lasts about four years on average, although some women may experience only a few months or many more years of symptoms.
Why have I missed my period for a month?
You can miss a period for a number of reasons; firstly I would suggest you take a pregnancy if you suspect you might be pregnant. However, a whole number of other causes such as stress, nutrient status or changes in body weight or exercise regimes can also have an effect on your period. Another possibility is that you are approaching the menopause.
How often does your period actually come back?
From the very first day you got your period, you’ve been able to count on it coming back month after month (except during pregnancy) for close to four decades.
Why does my mood fluctuate so much at 40?
All those hormonal ups and downs that start at 40 can do a number on your mood and emotions before your period begins. “As the hormones fluctuate more dramatically, those women who have mood symptoms with their periods tend to see more fluctuations in those moods,” says Dr. Dunsmoor-Su.
