Girls, Can turning 30 effect your menstrual cycle?

[sweetkiss99]

I turned 30 in April and every month since then. I have been having the most painfull periods and intense cramps ever. I have not have them this bad since I was 13. I pay close attention to my cycles and record everything and since being 30. I have noticed a shift in the cramps they are almost to the point of going to th ER.. do u think my age is the cause.. Anybody experinced this?/

Oh gosh this must be so painful! It's not because you turned 30 as your menstrual cycle is completely oblivious to your age and active life style. I would go and see a doctor, it might be as little as a infection or even a spot or an irritated piece of skin that's been cut. The doctor should run tests first and then when he's found why it's causing you so much pain he will get some antibiotics or some more tests done to find/treat the pain in the best possible way.

I hope this helps. Hope you get better soon!

Is it your first PP period? I hear the periods directly after pregnancy are horrible.
Maybe you you have a drop in estrogen because of perimenopause? Menopause usually happens near 45-50 but it can start at 30, its pretty rare, but your body is going through changes to stop producing eggs. Its pretty rare that thi sis the case though.
Go ask a doctor or a gynecologist!

It was just a possibility but consider the perimenopause.
But seriously, if you have concerns you should really see a doctor or gynecologist.

Have yourself evaluated for perimenopause - do please visit a doctor with your observations who can help you

It's not the turning 30 thing that is causing it, it could be anything, go and get checked out by your doctor, you won't get a correct answer without one examining you.

Definitely go see a doctor. No one should ever have to put up with that every 4 weeks.
