it's getting hot in here

I think I am getting night sweats.

Wasn't sure before. Was able to brush it off as PMS, or a bad food reaction, the heat too high or the fans not on. But now? I've been woken up every night for at least a week now (granted, my PMS portion of my cycle) bathed in sweat around 1/1:30 AM. I don't go to sleep hot, I don't wake up in the morning hot. But the middle of the night?

I'm hot.

In addition to this, my cycles have been getting shorter. They were never terribly long to begin with (I've rarely been a 28 day cycle girl at the best of times), but they've been nudging their way from 26 to 25 to 24 and now the last 3 cycles have been 23 days. TWENTY-THREE DAYS.

Do I want to have another child? Seems to me that time is running out on that option with each passing 23-day month. How do I feel about it? Honestly, a little depressed. I would like to have another child. Once (if) that's done though? Oh man, I will be SO happy to welcome menopause.

In the meantime ... I think it's time to start doing research on perimenopause and see if I can figure out anything I can do to slow it down a bit.
