I’m coming up on 42. No huge blatant signs of peri yet though there may be minor ones I’m missing. However 2 days ago I walked in our apartment and smelled the sharpest tangiest scent of what I can only describe as being like BO I’ve smelled on some people before. It’s inescapable. Both levels of the apt. We’re in nyc which often has funky smells but it’s not the city. I only smell this in the home. It’s not me. After endless sniffing it’s not my husband. I get random wafts of it. It won’t go away. My husband doesn’t smell it at all which is insane to me because how could you miss it? And I’ve never smelled it before 2 days ago. It’s nauseating sometimes.
Other weird little things that have been happening- a few months ago I started waking up between 5-6am. Most of my life my natural wake up time without an alarm clock would be post 930 even as late as 11. Then a few years ago I stated naturally waking up around 8. Then a few months ago it’s around 530 regardless of what time I go to bed. My period is still regular but for 2-3 days after it ends I have very mild diluted bloody discharge. About 2 years ago my formerly very light periods turned so heavy the first 2 days of my cycle I needed ultra sized tampons. Prior I never used anything more than super or regular. They have since reduced back a bit those first 2 days. Also in the past year or so my pms cramps have gotten to what I’d describe as moderate (to where I need to take midol) when I’ve never gotten pms cramps ever before.
I started taking a glp1 and have been on it for 1 year but other than that no changes to lifestyle whatsoever. No change in sex drive or overall health. Im starting to get some fine lines on my forehead. Am I hurdling into peri??!
