Hi there! I am 55 and have been in peri for a few years now. I was told that you have to go 12 months without a period in order to be classified as in menopause. I went through about 5 months without a period and then stained for a day and then for the last 8 months have not had any period. Just about 2 weeks ago for about a day I felt an odd feeling around the ovary and thought- oh no I cant be ovulating - like one last hurrah! And today I have very faint spotting. No other symptoms, or achiness etc. But..do I have to start counting all over again now? Has this happened to any of you? Any thoughts/insight appreciated!
