I'm 42 years old. My mother went thru abrupt natural (non hysterectomy) menopause at the age of 39. My periods have always lasted no more than 3 days. Up until the past 6 months or so, they were regular, 28 day cycles and bleeding lasting the 3 days. During the past six months they became irregular, somtimes every 2 weeks, but still lasting 3 days. It is February 14th and this is the 3rd time since January 5th that I've had my period. It lasted for 1 day (fairly heavy) on the 5th, then the next one came about 2 1/2 weeks later and lasted for 7 days.The longest ever! It just came agaiin and the discharge is sorta membrane like, not clots, if that makes sense. Also my breasts have been incredibly sore (evenly on both sides) since the beginning of January also.The night sweats, lack of concentration and all the other "peri-menopausal" symptoms are in place. Is the breast soreness/membrane like period part of peri-menopause? I had a tubal 16 yrs ago Couldn't be pregnant either,right?
