Women age 47 or over did you ever miss a period before menopause that was not pregnancy?

Abbie

I am just turned 48, I have not had my period for seven weeks now, up to then very regular periods, never pregnant, not pregnant now (unless it was Immaculate Conception, lol). I think I am too young to go into menopause, never had any hormone problems. Last month my breasts were really sore the whole month which was unusual. Do you have any insight to share with me?

1 - you are within the age range when menipause typically begins (called perimenopause)2 - missed periods are common in perimenopause (so are altered ovulation schedules, which is how so many change-of-life-babies happen)3 - see your gyn, you are also within the age range of several reproductive disorders regardless of whether or not you are sexually active (and missed periods can be a symptom of some of them).

You are not too young to go through menopause, usually your periods will slow down, maybe 2 or 3 a year. that may continue for a few years until they stop. you need to go to your gyney for him to do a FSH, LH blood test. that is a hormone test to see if your starting menopause.
