Peri menopausal: You may be peri-menopausal which means that you are nearing the end of your regular cyclesI would suggest you get a check up with your regular OB GYN specialist

Hormonal changes: Given your age, it is likely that you are experiencing menopausal symptoms as the ovaries begin to stop producing hormones. This would be supported by other symptoms including hot flashes, irritability, etc. It is important that you are evaluated by with a pelvic exam, pap and possibly labwork to rule out other causes.
