I'm 47, nearly 48.
Periods went a wee bit irregular the past couple of years, mainly just closer together. Then I had 7 weeks between 2 periods. Starred getting night sweats and skin and vaginal dryness. I now haven't had a period for 9 weeks. Night sweats seem to have stopped. Definite midriff and thigh weight gain.

I'm having a sudden panic about pregnancy. On holiday and can't get a test for a few days.

Most likely peri/menopause, isn't it? Just the 9 weeks with nothing plus weight gain is freaking me out very slightly.

Sounds like my experience with menopause, I must have used about 6 pregnancy tests in the 2 years before I finally had a very heavy period lasting longer than usual, which was my last ever period at age 51.

Thanks, that is reassuring
