I have been experiencing cramps, headache, fatigue, and lightheadedness for over a month, along with delayed menstruation. I am on birth control (norethindrone) and missed one pill, which might be causing the delay. I had spotting for two days but no full period. I also had sexual intercourse within five days of missing the pill and took a pregnancy test, which was negative. What could be causing these symptoms and should I be concerned?

I am a 45-year-old female with rheumatoid arthritis. I have symptoms such as weight gain in the breasts and stomach, painful breast bloating, frequent night sweats, abdominal bloating, increased urination, thinning hair, dry skin, and vaginal dryness. I am trying to determine which of these symptoms may be related to perimenopause.
