Feeling premenstrual nonstop, now high FSH?

OK, I know no two women experience menopause exactly the same. But talk to me because I’m going nuts.

So my cycle has been super regular, everything normal. A year ago my doctor tested my FSH at my annual visit, it was 9.2. I’m 48, so I’ve been expecting peri-menopause to hit anytime.

January, normal period.

4 weeks later, started feeling all the normal misery that tells me I’m about to get my period. Cramps, painful swollen boobs, feeling tired and cranky, bloating. But no period.

And those premenstrual symptoms have continued nonstop for two months. I’ve missed what should’ve been 3 periods now. The cramps are killing me. So I went to my doctor, she ran a bunch of tests, and my FSH is 76.3?

Which is well into menopause levels. Not peri.

I mean if January was my last period then glory be, but I know it’s likely to be irregular. But this constant feeling like I’m just about to start is torture.
