Do I need to see a doctor yet?

[cungryhow]

I'm 43 with very regular periods, until December that is, I've not had one since. No other symptoms apart from usual pre-menstrual feeling every now and again making me think something is going to happen. Done a pregnancy test this week, negative. Feeling fine, but never full of energy (can't remember the last time I did) and libido is not what it used to be!

Do I need to visit my GP at this stage or would you give it a bit longer? Don't want to waste their time. I had a dermoid cyst and one ovary removed 6 years ago.

I think the usual advice is monitor periods for 6 months to see if this is a pattern rather than a one-off. At 43 if they go AWOL then you do need to see your GP and discuss HRT as prevention for serious illnesses caused by early meno.

thank you, period now here and mooncup dusted off, will keep a record now!
