Thanks. The worry was having the cramps but no sign of a period. Thus I had no idea what was causing the cramps and the gas. But now that I got the period those symptoms are consistent with TOM. I swear to god.. I use to wonder why women in their 40s and 50s didn't go to the doctor when a concerning symptom happened... now, I know. They are having so many concerning symptoms on a daily basis they learn not to get worried about them.

End perimenapause rant.
