Hello,

Periods getting less often and weight gain may be due to premenopause but having some tests to verify this is important.

FSH is the hormone that increases when the ovaries are failing to produce enough estrogen and ovulate, which may be due to entering the premenopouse.
If the test is normal, then other causes should be considered and a thorough hormonal check such as prolactin, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, etc, may be needed.

I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
