So...where to start...Well, I turned 40 in February and just kind of wonder if I am getting to that..umm..age if you know what I mean. After 2.5 years of not going to see the Dr. for the annual check up (I avoid Drs like the plauge because I have had several bad experiences) I decided it was time because I have found that I have been far moodier prior to my period, they have been inconsistent and heavier. So my appointment was at 3pm last Thursday. I am waiting in the main waiting area and 330 comes and I go up to see if they are behind schedule or if I was forgotten (I was forgotten before). They tell me they will be with me in 5 min. Well they finally get me into the examination room at 430. 1.5 hours after my scheduled appointment. I was pretty frustrated and they really didn't appolgize. All the Dr said was that she was behind because one of her pts started to cry. Well any ways, after the exam I explained to the Dr. my concerns/?s re: the changes in my mood and cycle including getting hot frequently and all she said was "You are getting older" and left it at that. So I was just wondering if any TE friends have experienced the same changes around the age of 40. I am just curious if it may be perimenopause.

Thanks!! Sorry for such a long post.
