Hi Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHER. A woman can start producing less estrogen and progesterone the hormones that regulate menstruation as she approaches her late 30's.  These changes come more pronounced in her 40's. You might need to see your doctor and explain the changes in your cycles.

Best,

Daisy
