Irregular periods 1st time in my life

We have a 3 yo. We conceived her the second month after we married. I was 39 and gave birth at 39. Since I had no problems at 39 having a child, I took my reproduction for granted, and chose to wait until she was 3 to have another even though my OBGYN advised against it.
I am very down over my last cycle number of 39 days, because I know the writing is on the wall that I am entering perimenopause. My mom and grandma ended their periods at 59, so I didn't expect to start at 41.
I know that it will be more difficult to conceive now. That isn't what is really bothering me. What is bothering me is entering another stage of life. I have trouble with change and with aging. I have always looked younger than I am. I have to start focusing on the positives. I just have to get used to perimenopause. It just happened to me the last few months. Thanks for listening.

Getting older is really hard. I turn 43 in August and have been TTC #1 for two years. We haven't given up hope yet, but I feel like a complete failure. I just got a BFN on my second IUI this past weekend.
Hang in there and don't procrastinate to seek help.

Thank you very much for replying and for the advice. I will definitely be making an appt with an RE in the next few days.
You were a BIG help!
One friend of mine got pregnant at 44 as do a whole lotta lovely 40+ ladies out there, therefore I pray you will too!
