I think I might be pregnant!

It's been four days now since I should have seen a period, I was due on Monday. Maybe, if that is the case, I am pregnant. That was the reason last time I was late, some 20 years ago?

The trouble is, I can't remember some handsome hunk taking me in his arms and wooing me to the point of making a baby. Nor can I remember a flash of light followed by Archangel Gabriel declaring that I am with child at my window.

But what else could it be?

The menopause need not be as traumatic as you expect, ruby. Mine started at 43 and was really quite uneventful, apart from some sweaty nights, but then it was a hot summer anyway. If you do have problems, see your GP - preferably a female one if you can - and ask about hormone replacement.

WARNING - GRAPHIC DO NOT READ WHILE EATING

Well, I did start, not a full on period, but more like very light and pale. It was two weeks later that I expected it to be. I am going back to gyny clinic in January so I will tell them and keep an eye on it til then.

I have been sick a couple of times too recently, not proper sick, like water but heaving terribly too. Is this normal for being peri? I used to suffer like this when I was starting my periods all those years ago at age 11. Sick, the runs and bleeding. My mum didn't know where to run to next, poor thing. Then she dosed me up with Indian Brandee. (I think she just wanted me asleep so that I stopped moaning grin).
