Heavy bleeding started 49, 57 just skipped for 3-4 months, then heavy period. Tested still not menopause but hoping this shi$ stops soon.

Started becoming somewhat irregular at age 42-43. I’m now 50. Sometimes I skip two or three months, but for the past four or five months I’ve been pretty regular. This can take a long time and apparently can be vastly different among different women.

I skipped a period three years ago. I’ve had hot flashes, night sweats, heavy periods, and other perimenopause symptoms for about four years. Period still going strong.

I had 6 years of hot flashes and other symptoms but regular periods. Then the hot flashes stopped last year. I haven't had a period since December.


No skipping it just stopped?

One friend went from regular to nothing in 2 months and hasn’t had one for 2 years.

Another friend went 8 months then had two months of light bleeding.

Then theres me - irregular for 3 years


That is actually helpful.

1 year from first missed period to last period. Menopause officially a year after that
