no period 6 months - symptoms

[SchoolGateBeta]

I'm 46. I haven't had a period for 6 months. I'm wondering is this it? No one really speaks about the missed periods period. What's that like for anyone? Me - Weight gain. Digestive problems. My back - lower and middle - is sore. And I' have vaginal clear discharge which is worrying, I did go to docs but they said 'yeah that's what happens'. It's quite a weird time wondering if I'm ever going to get my period again or whether this is it. Feels too young at 46.

Any other experiences....

I'm 48 and similar experience started around 46 OP... sporadic periods, which tried to come back after I had surgery to remove a cyst and have dwindled again. I've been quite surprised at how quickly they've buggered off but I did spend my early 40s bleeding so heavily it felt like my uterus had nothing left to give! I maybe get two a year, currently on period- free month 7 and wondering if im going to make it to a year! Just when I get used to being without them I'll get one really heavy and then maybe a second one then... tumbleweed. It's very frustrating. I'm now on vagifem for bladder issues and the hot flashes are ever present, along with stiff joints. But muddling through!

I know you've seen a GP and got the usual 🤷🏻‍♀️, but I would say from experience that ovarian cysts can sometimes delay menstruation. But in the absence of other symptoms, it does sound like peri. And just when you think you're done, you'll probably get another period... Keep an eye on your symptoms, if there's anything else then check in with the doc.

Ugh me too. Went 6 months without then Niagara Falls, when will be the next one? Who knows, annoying.
