Late short period??

Question

OK here's what's going on:
Period was 3 days late, it started out as spotting on Dec 11 got slightly heavier but went back to spotting the next day. It completely ended on the 13th ( today). I kinda had some pg symptoms but resisted temptation to test early. Could I be pregnant or just wishful thinking?
I am also 38 so it could also be menopause??

I should add i had cramping like the week before which felt like i was going to bleed but didnt.

I should also add that my periods are ALWAYS about 6-7 days long with the first day being more than spotting and then get heavier the 2nd 3rd days and then get lighter for the rest.

Answer 1

Hopefully it is not menopause which should start sometime in your 50's or sixties , but you are right it can start earlier so keep your fingers crossed

The best advice is to wait a week after your missed period and then test. Sometimes women who want a child can create symptoms that arent "really" there thus creating the "Am I ? " thought which may lead to disappointment. Best wishes

Answer 2

Well, I don't think you're at your menopause age. Anything could happen, but you're actually in your sexual prime lol!! My periods actually have NEVER been longer than 4 days. Strange huh? I always thought there was something wrong with me...but...I just found I I was pregnant with my first in October!!!! :) (BTW..I'm 25) But...even if you don't continue to have anymore symtoms get a pregnancy test as soon as you can just to make sure you're not pregnant, because if you are....then you need to get the proper vitamins...and etc..to have a healthy baby. I hope things work out the way you want. GOOD LUCK!!
