Used to have quite bad period pains and bloating. Normal 28 day cycle. Last two periods were lighter, less painful but still 28 days and my stress levels are considerably less since no longer in an abusive relationship. In new relationship and happily active love life. Last period was 39 days ago, no symptoms of period and negative test. Am 48 - is this it now? Definitely not complaining about the lack of pain etc! With all the stress on GPs it feels silly to ask for an appointment. What should I expect from menopause?
