I'm 56 years old and I've gone nine months without a menstrual cycle or spotting. I was excited knowing that I just needed to make it through July, and I would be "home free". But as luck would have it, I just started spotting this week. Why can't my body act its age and just let go??? Does this mean that I have to wait 12 more months again???
Not 100% sure Connie but I would say unless the spotting becomes more established into a menstrual flow then it's just part of the peri and not a normal period. But like I said not sure, I'm 7 months without a period but had light spotting and dizziness a few weeks ago but I wouldn't consider it a period
Good luck and hope you reach the other side soon
Big hugs for you xx
Mine just sta0rted again this past week almost 2 years or what they call post menopause, so do I go back to square one, or back in peri again. I'm almost 52. This menopause crap sure sucks doesn't it. Hang in there Connie.
Thanks so much. I feel a little better now. Even though it's up in the air right now, I feel like there's a chance that I'll be done in a couple of months.
Oh my gosh. I'm getting anxiety just thinking that you can still have a cycle after 2 years without one. When I've gone a month or two without a cycle, my next one would be so heavy, that I would have to change tampons every hour. I'm really hoping that this spotting doesn't mean that next month I'll be having a heavy flow. Thanks for your reply.
Hi Connie I had two months period free and thought they would prob have stopped I'm 51 but then April and this month had a really heavy period like you changing every hour leaves you feeling washed out do sick of all these symptoms and feeling like this
