Journey Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I have a question....I haven't had my "friend" for almost a year (I think) so I'm in perimenopause...hot flashes etc....well for the last week or so I've had a nagging stomach ache and/or cramps down there. A couple of times I've felt like I've wanted to throw up that has lasted from about 15 minutes to a half hour. I am a HUGE worrier and now I think I have cancer...I'm not kidding...that's how much I worry about things like this. I made an appointment with my doctor for tomorrow but that makes me ever more nervous. So I guess my question is....have any of you who are going through or who have gone through peri or menopause ever had stomach problems? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Girls' Mom Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I have heard that random nausea is a symptom of Peri. http://www.34-menopause-symptoms.com/articles/34-menopause-symptoms-nausea.htm I've been having symptoms for a couple of years now, and sometimes the nausea is so bad that I end up taking a pregnancy test..lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) from your descripition - I'd take a pg test just to get that out of the way. expect a period, then be disappointed my year coundown was probably going to start all over.

Seasider Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Yes, I am still regularly cycling but in the last year or so my PMS symptoms have grown to include extreme tiredness, loose bowels and sometimes nausea on the day or two before onset of flow. But by all means, if seeing your doc for a thorough check up will give you peace of mind about the possibility of serious issues, make an appointment!

Cinder Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I'm starting, but so far my longest break has been 3 months. I'm mostly plagued with massive hormonal headaches that last 2-3 days on both ends of my period. This last one was my first bout with slight nausea; I also had cramps but that part isn't new. :grouphug: I hope your appointment goes well!

gardenmom5 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 earlier in peri- I frequently felt early pg symptoms before a cycle . . . when it stopped I knew my cycle would start. now . . . .massive cramping (of the type I had when I first started) and symptoms - even without a cycle. or the cycle will show up several days later. or just spotting . . . . my longest stretch was in 2014!!!

Suzanne in ABQ Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 It's also possible you're just constipated or something. This may have nothing at all to do with menopause. There's lots of stuff down their besides your uterus, and lots of reasons to have stomachache and nausea, and most of those have nothing to do with cancer. I know it's easy for me to tell you not to worry, but I hope you can decide to wait -- just decide that you'll worry about it later, if you need to, after you have information. Right now, you don't have any information. You just sometimes have a stomachache. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
