Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for reaching out to us for help.
The menstrual cycle is regulated by a delicate balance of hormones, including follicle-stimulating hormone, estrogen, progesterone, and luteinizing hormone. The pituitary gland produces follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone.
Anything that upsets this balance causes irregularities in the menstrual cycle. During perimenopause, estrogen levels fluctuate. Irregularities in the menstrual cycle are a sign of early perimenopause. Some women experience the early signs in their late 40s, while most begin in their 50s.
Mariam, I strongly suggest you schedule an appointment with your gynecologist. With a physical and medical exam, along with any diagnostic tests, including blood tests or an ultrasound, your doctor can determine the cause.
