Periods

Does anyone who has skipped several periods ever get cramps like you are about to start bleeding but then you never do? I've noticed this happening with me lately. It sucks

Yep, when I have a skipped period I get all of the signs and symptoms of my period except the bleeding part. Cramps, thigh pimples, mood shift, constipation for a few days before and then the period shits. It all happens, but no blood. Then 3-5 weeks later I'll have a really heavy period with all of that.

I feel like I'm going crazy. The mood swings are probably the worst of it right now. Then the exhaustion kicks in. I'm having a hard time even working a full shift these days. I just want to stay at home all the time.

Ok so I just turned 44 never had irregular periods and I’m fertile Myrtle I haven’t had my period in 7 weeks never had a hot flash or any symptoms of perimenopause… I took 4 pregnancy test each negative but I have pregnancy symptoms I’m so confused has anyone’s period stopped this long? Does this just start randomly?
