I'm a 41-year-old woman and have been healthy overall. Until recently, my menstrual cycle was quite regular at 25 days, but since April, it has shifted to once every 50 days, so now I'm getting my period every two months. Along with this change, I've also started feeling breast pain, much like the sensation during pregnancy. I'm wondering if these are signs of menopause starting. Should I be considering any medication for this? For context, my mom began menopause in her 40s too.

Its possible that youre experiencing early perimenopause, especially given the changes in your menstrual cycle and breast tenderness, which are common symptoms. Since your mother also went through menopause in her 40s, this could be hereditary. Its a good idea to consult your doctor for a thorough evaluation and to discuss whether any treatment or lifestyle changes would be helpful for managing symptoms.

I'm usually pretty regular with my menstrual cycle, like 30 to 32 days. But this month, I'm 18 days late, and I'm not sure why. I've done both urine and blood pregnancy tests, and they're negative. I'm not stressed or on any meds, so I'm really confused about what's going on. Any ideas on what might be causing this? What should I do next?
Given your regular 30-32 day menstrual cycle and negative pregnancy tests, the missed period could be due to various factors, such as hormonal imbalance, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), thyroid issues, or other underlying medical conditions; other potential causes include weight changes, travel, or environmental factors; consider consulting a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation
