general question about symptoms

Hi everyone,
This is a general question about menopausal symptoms, rather than weight loss, but I hope someone out there might be able to help!
I started to have peri symptoms about a year ago - mainly shorter cycles and insomnia/night sweats. About 6 months ago (just after my mom died of ovarian cancer) my periods started to get really erratic. Sometimes they come every couple of weeks, sometimes they never really stop at all. Now I've also started getting really painful bowel movements when I'm menstruating.
I'm kind of worried about this last symptom. Does anyone else who's peri also get painful bowel movement when they are menstruating? I personally haven't seen it listed anywhere, but it does seem to come up as a symptom of endometriosis. I'm also concerned because both my mother and grandmother passed away of ovarian cancer ...
Any advice appreciated ladies!
