62 Days Since Last Period : sign of peri menipause ?
Posted: 10-24-07 13:35pm

Hello all

I am almost 49 yrs old, always had regular periods.... 6 to 7 days long like clockwork... never any problems... just this past 6 months I believe i am getting hot flashes although for me a better term would be " fast sweats" lol ...i do get the instant heat come over me but then i get all sweaty

I just got a period today , it has been 62 days from my last period... I feel fine though no other symptoms or problems...

just wondering if missed periods is a sign of peri menipause and is it normal?

Yes. This is a sign of peri-menopause. As are the sweats and hot flashes.

It is normal. Are you still going to your doctor once a year for paps?

Hi yes, I had a complete full physical a year ago.... pap, breathing test, heart test , blood work you name it I had it .... lol

other than having to bring my cholesterol down , every test was fine... I've been doing pretty well, and it has only been this last 8 months where I have been getting the hot flashes, I have not had any for a while now, about a month, and when they come they don't last that long .. maybe a min if that... but this is the longest time i have went without a period... i think even though we know we are at the age of heading into menopause we panic about not getting a period....

are there other symptoms i can expect along this journey? the www is kind of vague on peri menopause ....
