My periods have been broadly predictable for a few years, albeit with cycle length getting a bit shorter, and some heavier than others. There have been a few exceptions to this. I seemed to miss one altogether when I ran a marathon in 2021, which I put down to stress, and in 2022 I had one which seemed to stop and then start again 2 days later and then go on for about 10 days. This happened again in Feb this year - a 'normal' period, then another week where the flow was the same every day, and then it stopped. And since then nothing. I did run another marathon 3 weeks ago, so I wondered if that had something to do with it, but still nothing since then.
For years I haven't had much in the way of PMS apart from a bit of bloating, so it's not as if other things were there too which have now gone.
I haven't really had any peri symptoms apart from some brain fog and occasional night sweats (not for a while on that one though).
I feel like I'm on constant high alert that a period could come at any moment (and that when it does it will be heavy as anything), but maybe that's it for me.
I expected a kind of 'taper' but do they sometimes just stop?
I'm 50 (just), so within a normal age range for stopping. I just don't feel 'menopausal'...
