Hi everyone.

I’m 46.5 and my period is two weeks late (obviously not pg as am basically a eunuch these days). Last year of periods have been a bit heavier and lasted a day longer but overall pretty regular. Anyway, just wondering how long you missed periods before your very last one? Trying to prepare myself. Don’t think I was quite ready for menopause yet, but here I seem to be.

Mine started going irregular two years ago at 49. Currently on day 60 and counting since last one, which I think is the longest so far. Shortest was about 18 days. Was pretty regular until I was 49, though.

Mine were erratic for 10 years Confused basically all over the place. I was just checking my period tracker and the last year I had a full calendar of periods was 4 years before the last, the next year I had 11, then 7, 5 and finally 8 in the last year (last period end of October).
