My period has come early
I am a bit worried about my period. I am 45 and have always had a normal cycle. my periods are usually ever 27 or 28 days. So regular that i can count back months. My last cycle was 28 days but all of a suden today I started bleeding again on the 15th day. My last cycle was around 4 or 5 days as usual but I do not now whats going on here now.
I am worried because I cannot see that anything has changed in my in my life. In strange because shortly after my last period. I did feel as if I was going to come on again but I ignored it as impossible. My breasts had swollen like they aways do when I am getting ready to menstruate and I was very thirsty.
I have a serious relationship but as hes in the states and I am in London we have not had intercourse since november. So theirs no sexual issues. I have not been on the pill for years. So please could you shed some light on what ight be happening.

Hi!
I hate to use the term "age", but I fear in this case I must! I particularly hate it because I am the same age! Even as early as 35, some women can start to notice changes in their cycle that coincide with the declining number of eggs in the ovaries that eventually leads to menopause.
In your case, it may simply be that you just didn't ovulate this cycle, or ovulated very early. This could be the beginning of a trend, or something that won't happen again for years. If you do start to have periods more frequently than every 21 days, you may wish to consult your doctor for some hormonal therapy to control the cycles.
If your periods resume their normal pattern, just keep an eye on them. The average age for menpause is 51, so you are entering the "ballpark".
Good luck!

Hiya
Yes my diets all over the place. Sometimes I'm low carb which I was for ages and now I'm back to normal unhealthy foods....so yes that could have a lot to do with it as well. I am watching and waiting until the next.
