Period just stopped?

[wossgoinon]

im 50 and I am 6 weeks late. Normally I am regular as clockwork. I was sterilised over 17 years ago but I still took a pregnancy test 🤦‍♀️.

is this normal?

Yes I'm 44 and mine have gone haywire after being regular 28 days for years.

Started HRT this week.

Mine have been early, late, missing, longer, shorter, heavier, lighter and although irregular, still irritating and manage to appear when least wanted. I'm 52.

I have one a year for about an hour. Every freaking year for four years.

Same here 44 will be 45 in couple of months currently 8 weeks late when usually always regular x not pregnant it's very strange after all these years of something turning up each month like a bad smell x

That should say 8 weeks since last period so about 4 weeks late x

I'm 41 and currently in agony with mine, worst one I've ever had maybe :(
I can't wait for it all to stop, it's blighted my life but given me my precious dd

I'm 44 and haven't had one in 9 months. I've had a few breaks of 2-3 months in the last 4 years. It appears this is the beginning of the end!

@melchim comforting to know there are a few people my age skipping periods as people keep telling me I'm to young for peri although I feel about 104 at the minute

I’m 42 missed period Nov and Dec . No idea why ? Going to contact Gp this week, although from what Ive read it can be normal to miss a few .
I really don’t mind skipping them but have always been regular so this just doesn’t feel normal !

@Sallydimebar I know exactly what you mean feels very odd I would be so happy to miss a few but it's the not knowing why that is worrying every article I have read though says it is normal 😀

It's peri menopause. Periods peter out and there can be weeks or months between them.

I'm not sure there's any "normal" really! But mine just stopped. One just around my 55th birthday. Then nothing.

I got prescribed tranexamic acid for my heavy bleeding this month. GAME CHANGER!

I went from floods and big clots on Thursday night to a very light period for the last three days and now stopping.

My ferritin levels had got really low but I had assumed my dizziness was down to peri meno.

So now I have TXA for the bleeding, iron tablets for the dizziness and hair loss and HRT for my prolapse, urinary incontinence and moods.

I am expecting to skip into Spring (and hopefully DH will get a wife who doesn't cry or feel faint all the time!)

I was told that too by one GP, but another one said it's within normal now, especially if your own mother went through menopause on the early side.

I've gone 8 weeks many times, common past around 45

@gogohmm thanks for the reassurance I have tired to speak to my mum about it but she doesn't like to talk about stuff like that x

Of course it is. Periods change and get less and less. Surely you know this?

I'm 43 and miss 4 or 5 then have two in a few weeks. Am waiting for an appointment at the menopause clinic. Everyone keeps saying 'you're too young for the menopause' which is driving me mad.

It’s normal. It will probably be back when you least expect it.
