Yes, Anon, that would be my first thought. When perimenopause begins, one of the most common signs is that our periods can get more and more irregular. You might miss one, or two, or even six months' worth of periods, and then have one. Or you might just miss one and then go back to being fairly regular for a while, and then miss another one. It slowly progresses until you are having no periods at all. When you've had no periods for a year, you are officially in menopause.
I am concerned about the pain you've been feeling in your left breast; was this a common symptom that you used to get with your period, or is it something new? Have you checked to make sure there is no lump, no dimpling of the skin, etc?
