bloating perimenopause

ve been experiencing excessive sweating and periodic hot flashes.In the last 2-3 years I encounter several missed periods,but however I still have the bloating and cramps without the bleeding.I've taken severeal at home pregnancy test,but they were all negative.My tubes were burned and tied in 1988.I am aware also that I do have an ulcer. Can you please tell me what is going on with me? Am I experiencing Perimenopause?

Hi Terri, I am not a doctor, but almost the same thing has happened to me. but it is perimenopause. perimenopause is good at mimicking your period by bloating you and making you feel crampy but no bleeding. the your body went through the motions but you did not have an egg to bleed out that's why your period did not come. i am experiencing my very first episode of this right now. i feel like you about the pregnancy test but, it wont hurt to take one. take care.

sore breasts, bloating, crabby..lol, etc. This month those symptoms lasted right up until I got AF. Today is cycle day 3, they went away yesterday completely. I know this is due to increased progesterone, but am wondering if you think it might be a symptom of perimenopause. My last 3 cycles have also been a bit irregular. 26 days..not a big change. 28 days, normal. This time AF started on CD 22!! OPK still showed positive CD 13, so O was normal. What the heck?

insomnia, constipation/bloating, hair loss on head, new hair growth on face, intense premenstrual cramping and lower back pain, low libido, dryer skin, and just last night I had my first night sweat. I also now have chronic dark circles under my eyes and have noticed more brown spots on my face. I've had a ton of different hormones tested, all of which have been within normal range, and "good" according to my doctor. My thyroid is normal. My day-2 FSH is 5.8.

Anyone ever take herbal supplements? I have been taking the GNC menopause vitapack for almost a year. Now the perimeno symptoms are getting worse as I think I may now be in the later stages of perimenopause. Anyway I just added vitex (chasteberry) 2 caps a day (about 800 mg-it's by Nature's Way), in addtion to **** Quai and Dandelion Root (for water retention). I feel like I have all of a sudden blown up in bloating the last couple days.

have read that clomid tablets,a fertility tablets held...how true is it?again got loads od symptoms of being pregnant,bloating from abdomen ,eating much,cramps,boobs bigger and heavy,missed my period,fatigue,dizzy spells,strong smell of urine....anyone there,,need your opinion....

Help! Since I stared perimenopause I suddenly developed horrible bloating/gas along with heartburn/acid reflux. It sems to be much worse at certain times of the month. Does anyone have a home remedy they use that works well for this? I hesitate to see my Dr. because I know they will hand me a script for "the purple pill". I am not opposed to medication, but see it as a last resort. Anyone have any suggestions?

I have had bloating and constipation for the past few years. Everytime i drink something i feel my belly swells up like i am 9 mo. pregnant. I also recently was diagnosed with Hashimotos a Thyroid condition. So i blamed my intense tiredness on the Thyroid issue. I have been growing these stubborn facial hairs on my chin as well. So today i went for a transvaginal ultrasound since my period hasn't been coming since March.

I am 47 ,and have all symptoms of perimenopause ,with bloating at times .No pain ,but disrupted menses .what is the next step in this ,have to wait for 10 days for GPs appointment . Thanks.

I am not really experiencing symptoms. Some bloating, my periods are about every 25 days with mild cramps the first few hours on day one. I was tested for PCOS in Dec '08, but that was negative. She tried me on prgestin a year ago but I couldn't tolerate it; severe insomnia. I am not on any medications now and have no history of GYN cancer. I am nervous about such a drastic diagnosis. Thanks.

I'm experiencing the following symptoms: missed period since April 2016, bloating, and lower back pain on and off. I went to see my GP and asked for a sonogram. The results were Normal Pelvic but there was a typo which said my left ovary was 23 cms. When doctor called to confirm he was inform left ovary measures 2.3 cms. The problem is a sonogram from December 2014 and August 2015 both show I had uterine fibroma and a cyst on the left ovary.

I have bloating/ cramps and but no period. I am 10 days late now. I am concerned about menopause but have no hot flashes.I am 41.

s possible you do have ovarian cysts (your symptoms are typical) but generally the distention and bloating persists unless your cyst has burst. If it is still there you should arrange for an ultrasound. Your symptoms can be many other things as well. My husband is suffering from abdominal distention, pain and digestive issues and thought he had it solved going on a gluten free diet but it keeps coming back.

Is this normal for perimenopause/menopause? Should I be worried? I am calling my doctor Monday to see when she can fit me in, but my husband is terrified of the possibilities of cancers. I have to admit that the more I think about it, the more it worries me and concerns me also. Any thoughts?

We have really only been trying for a couple of months, but I am very worried I may be in this perimenopause, as when I read up on it, I have classic symptoms of it. Has anyone else out there been concerned about this, and still gotten pregnant? I desperately want another child!

s the majority of it. It had not even occurred to me that it could be perimenopause until a few weeks ago. I went for blood work yesterday so I won't hear results until next week. I have made some changes such as changing to decaf coffee (and only drinking a fraction of what I used to), trying to eat healthy, etc. I would like some suggestions to help with the lightheadedness and jitteryness/nervousness though as these can be hard to deal with as many of you already know!

I think that I am into my first year of Perimenopause that I have experiences with all Symptoms. Did anyone like me as the first year going through it? It seems aging has its price. I would like to exchange notes with people like me so perhaps we could share better tips to deal with it together. As Perimenopause may cause bone lost so I am trying to add in some Vitamin, did anyone take some Vitaman to prevent bone lost?

I was told a couple of months ago that I am going through perimenopause. I have irregular cycles. My 1st cycle was when I was 15 years old. I had one cycle in September and it did not come back the next month. I took birth control pills when I was 16....The 1st set of pills made me gain weight and the 2nd set made me sick. So now my cycles are 2-5 years apart. The last cycle I had was in May 2007.

I'm 44 and have been very irregular with my periods for the last few years. I'm on the pill (Yaz) and never miss any. I'm still irregular on the pill even though my GYN put me on it to try and regulate me. I sometimes get my period during the "active" pills and not during the "inactive" pills. My cycle would last anywhere from 3 days to 14 days and would be very light to severe. The last day of my last period was May 1st. I haven't had a period since then.

Im also having bad headaches and bad palpitations too (worse before my period), the thing is, ive had the usual heart test and hormones checked and all is normal! How would pcos afect my hormones and does it make a difference in perimenopause? Please can someone enlighten me or give me advice as i am at my wits end as my gp says it is stress and wont entertain the thought of peri.

I've been getting major cramps since I've started perimenopause I saw a midwife ( no gynocologysts was avalible ) about it and I was fobbed off and I was told to take ibuprofen and I told her that I've tried that along with everything on the market and I was told to take ibuprofen before I get my monthly and to come back in 9 mos. Since I can't get help from a doctor ( or anybody else in the medical community ) does anyone have any ideas of how I can stop this pain?

Anyway I was due 10days ago and no sign of any bleeding but have had belly and bloating cramps for over a week. My husband had a vasectomy 10yrs ago so I assume it cant reverse itself.Do I need a doctor or just wait?I feel ok apart from the belly aches.I have been using a nasal spray on and off for sinus congestion and read somewhere steroid sprays can throw out the hormone levels.Anyone with advice?

) My sister was ending a fair amount of soy while going through perimenopause, had severe gas and bloating; ended up she has a soy allergy. Please keep us posted.

The bloating I experienced got worse, not better. So, if your bloating was temporary, it may have been caused by another health issue. I believe the bloating ovarian cancer creates is actually the ascites (fluid) that develops. And, ascites does NOT go away unless tapped from the body. I don't know if what I've said will ease your mind a little, but I do hope the best for you.

I again skipped a period in May but resumed menstruation in June and July, with pain/bloating during ovulation and at menses. OB ordered a trans vag ultrasound that came back negative. About a month ago, I had a CT scan of my entire pelvis and a cysts plural (spelling?) were found on my left ovary. I had a pap done in April 09 with no abnormal findings. I am only nursing once a day, in the early morning, or maybe twice if the baby needs it during the night.

I don't know what test they ran. When I was having severe perimenopause symptoms a few years back (and didn't know why) they tested my blood FSH levels which were within normal ranges and the drug store test kits all were normal. Nonetheless it was hormones. It wasn't until after I'd been tested for a bunch of other things (all negative) and I went 6 months without a period and then started having hot flashes that they really believed it.
