50plus with periods

[Harmonyrose]

Hi. Women here mid 50s, feel tiresome with periods coming all the time, when will it stop? I am getting frustrating and still waiting it to end.
Thanks for reading.

How long’s a piece of string?

Hi all, read that women's perimenopause around 45 to 55. It is 12 months without a period, not everyone is menopausal at 55. I'm still having periods, but lighter and a couple of months without. I think it take time and slowly less bleeding.xx

I have had two periods this year-August and November after 9 months. I am 58. Waiting to see if I have a period next week or not.

I am almost 55 and as regular as clockwork... I take hrt because I had continual kidney problems without it but have never a hot flush or anything. My ADHD is worse but apart from that I am still staggeringly regular... My 80 year old friend had periods until she was 61 and then they just stopped completely.... I thought I'd be done by now.

I'm 55 and still have periods

Sorry to disappoint you, OP, but I had my last period aged 56. I agree, it is very annoying!

I am 57 and this last few days only just reached 'official' menopause. Up to the middle of last last year, I was as regular as clockwork each month.

Peri was a nightmare for me (for various reasons & for years) and HRT worked brilliantly for a long time - first on a combined tablet then patches/gel.

Then my patches were changed due to availability in May/June last year and it all went downhill almost immediately.

After 6 months of no bleeds, those new patches kicked off truly awful monthly cycles - so around October last year I ripped the bloody patch off once an for all and have never looked back.

56, fingers crossed, one more month and I'm done.

Yeah, we are in the 50s group. My cousin stopped at 46, I'm 55 next year.

Thanks all. My period is not a monthly thing now. Light or heavy, longer days and sometimes shorter.

Sorry to disappoint, but some women have periods until their 60s - just as others reach menopause at 40. It’s a very long window.

I'm still having them at 53. I asm hoping this one might be the last one but who knows.

54 in march and regular as clockwork. Month in month out. Feel like an embarrassed granny buying tampons
