Periods suddenly stopped

7 replies

I have missed 2 periods . Last one ended on 10 February. They have always been regular. No chance of pregnancy (no sex) .I am 48. No menopause symptoms. Could this be anxiety from everything that's happening ?

If you are 48 it could well be a menopause symptom starting. Longer gaps between periods happen at start of menopause.

My bet is peri-menopause, leading to full menopause.

That's very sudden then 😳

My friend had her last period aged 41 with no menopause symptoms. Her DD did the same but with a one time recurrance a few years later.
I was 52 but my DD was in her early 40s. SIL 's aunt had her 5th child aged 48.

It is different for most women and the earlier periods stopped forever the better in those days. Enjoy your freedom. Smile

Periods stopping is a symptom in itself. Lots of women won’t have any other symptoms.

I had the same as you at 48, but my periods did restart after 3 months and are still going and I’m now 52, though they are not regular any more. Plus have other peri menopause symptoms now, though nothing dreadful luckily. I have a work colleague who got pregnant at 47 and didn’t find out until she was 4/5 months because she assumed it was menopause. It’s another possible cause!

Short of the immaculate conception, I suspect pregnancy isn't a possible cause given the info in the OP's post!
Menopause would be prime suspect given your age.
