Ladies: Cramping

[ThankfulJen]

I joined a perimenopause/menopause group on Facebook. Its really crazy what some of these women experience! I get heart palpitations too. In the form of ectopic beats. I have had many who have told me it is perimenopause but it's really hard for me to not think the worst.

I’m a member of a few of those as well. Be careful because sometimes you get a “Please see a Dr for this” response.

Yes. I have gotten those, too. Great way to throw anxiety into overdrive!

For sure! I’ve definitely lost my mind a time or two over those.

Ugh…this is bad month. Usually cramps only hang around the first day or so…day 3 today and still feeling them. Plus it is grossly hot and humid here today and that is making me feel worse.

Yeah last month was my crampy month for sure. I’m on my last day of my period and crampy still.
I know I’m dying. I can feel it.

Well I thought I was done for the month but today period decided to start up again and at a moderate flow. Of course I googled and it is not competely uncommon for this to happen and I have actually experienced it before but I am anxious about it of course. My anxiety/stress level has gone up in the past few days (espeically today, really feeling awful) so that could be a contributing factor I suppose.

Have definitely had this happen. What the heck? I guess I'm just not having one this month. Was due a week ago. It's kind of crazy to me that no one ever informed me that there was a perimenopause stage to life.

I’m 40 and I get the same thing lately. Maybe for a year actually. I get crampy before my period for a few days. I also get hot flashes, chills, extra anxiety.
