Hi Ladies

Hope you are all ok. 

I was having lots of perimenopause symptoms over the last five years. Its been three months since ive had my last period. No more menopause symptoms. But im Not sure if my periods  will start again or.

Hi Kadija,

Hopefully you won't have another period, but I've already skipped three months only to have it come back again. When I miss periods I feel a little better too. Keep us updated!

Hi

 I went 109 days without a period to then get them regular for a few months ughhhh you have to go one full year without a period to be considered in menopause I hope you don’t get another period and I always hope but it stills shows up eventually I had enough with the periods that’s the worst thing out of all of this to me! Good luck and keep us posted

Fingers crossed that you have had your last period. Sounds like you are nearing the end of this bumpy journey xx

Aw kadija, I have had none for the past 6 months....until 11 days ago, and it hasn't stopped since! Heavier than I've ever had it and lots of cramps(and clots)😔.... maybe this is like the grand finale for me🤞

I hope it's your last one but I went eight months without a period then bam! Had one for another year then in November of 2010 I had a period and that was the last one.

Hi Kadija,

Unfortunately just because your periods stop, very many of the menopause symptoms carry on, sorry to impart this info, but I read of so many women who believe that everything will be wonderful when they hit menopause proper. Forewarned is better than blind belief.....Im speaking through experience!

supemack you are correct!!! Sadly 😞.

I skipped 6 months, no peri symptoms or any trouble but when it came after 6 months, peri hell started. Hope it's the end of it for you. Good luck, keep us posted.

I hope its not gonna come back as now all my symptoms have gone and even my blood pressure have gone back to normal, as it was high before, however i keep taking my medication every day, ive even lost some weight as i had put on 7kg during peri, hopefully its the last fo me. As my mum tells me when hers stopped it was her last and all symptoms disappeared forever and that was it. She is 89yrs old now. . Hope we all finally find a way out of this peri hell and get our lives back.

Hi supemack. I was wondering if you would tell me if you had severe peri symptoms? I'm just a couple weeks away from  being officially in menopause. I'm pleased about that and know it won't be like a light switch being turned off and I feel great immediately, but just wondering if those that experience horrible peri symptoms don't have it so much in menopause and those that experienced lighter peri symptoms are the ones that are having a harder time in menopause.

Hi Audra - I think your theory might be correct.  From this forum it appears that some woman have really bad Peri & not so bad post menopause & vice versa.  I for one had insomnia, night sweats, some migraines & flooding during Peri, but nothing I couldn’t handle.  My post menopause symptoms have “rocked my world”, so I think you might be on to something -

Hi Kadija1966!  I am really glad to hear that your symptoms have stopped with your periods as well.  This gives me hope that there will be a possibility that this may the same for me.  *crosses fingers* Can I ask how old you are?

I am 47 and have started experiencing these horrendous symptoms since Oct of last year.  I think I may have experienced other symptoms but didn't connect it with peri menopause until the symptoms became really bad.

Please keep us updated.  Anything positive gives me hope for me.

I agree. I breezed through peri. Menopause not so much.

Hi Tina

Hi all, just an update, my periods started  again last Friday after I posted this message. Now I'm having bad headaches, yesterday I was feeling very depressed which raised my BP quite a bit, but after few hours it went back to normal reading, went to ER and doctors gave me a check up and said all is ok and I should exercise more and drink lots of water.  Today I'm feeling weepy, sad, headache, feeling scared to be alone, the headache is mostly on one said of my head, left side. I feel bloated today, got some pain between my middle ribs, feels like a trapped gas pain, been burping a lot to relieve it. Not sure when al this will stop. Feels like crying. Very sad as I also live on my own and have no one to talk too on how I feel.

Hi Kadija - Boy, I had the same exact day as you the last couple of days including the pain in my head on the left side!  Only difference is, is I am post menopausal...I really don’t get when this all is going to end for us - I am sorry that you you feel so alone, but if it makes you feel better, I live with my husband & 24 year old son & feel very alone - they don’t get it! My friends don’t get it either - I struggle alone - this forum is my only outlet -
