please help.
Im 43 almost 44 and im late for my period by approx 10days. Im having dull aches in lower abdomen mainly under belly button and the ache comes and goes and sometimes its on the lower right and now its low left side. Its not painful to press but unpleasant at times. Also had ache in leg for a bit but has gone. Ive only clear normal discharge. My periods are usually 4-5 days late although on a few occassions I have had a period for a few days, stopped and then bleed lightly for a few days and then ok. Scared to go to a docs. Has anyone experienced anything similar as im worried! thank you

Hi honey! Welcome to Peri Menopause! This is TOTALLY normal - a pain in the you know what - but normal! This will continue on and off for a few more years - untill you are in TOTAL menopause! You constantly have to carry protection with you! It can hit at anytime and be of different strength! Sometimes gushing happens - with a lot of blood, and others is just spotting! To be totally sure of this, I would like you to see an OB/GYN! She/He might be able to tell you how they can help you with this - as in 2015 1.5 BILLION women in the world will be in menopause! 8-| I think the Incas were off by 3 years!! XD XD XD Thus me TOTALLY knowing that God IS a man! A woman would NEVER torture us for years on end! We have Pre Menopause, Peri Menopause, Menopause, And Post Menopause! think about it MENstruation, Followed by MENopause, then MENtal illness!!! XD 8-| ;-) ;-) Just trying to make you have a giggle about lifes challenges! And just read up on it, and I prefer natural remedies over artificial hormones! Talk to other women - friends, family - and in health food stores too! They have helped me with the sweating etc! Also watch out for heart arythmia - this is common! BUT I always tell women to get checked first! Good luck and welcome to the "change"
