Menopause Or What?
Posted: 10-09-03 12:52pm

My last period started on 16 august, and no period till today 9 october.
Only at 17 september I have a day of low bleeding.
On 2 october a home pregnancy test became negative.
I am 49 years old, I am not taking any hormons, and during sexual intercource we always use a condom.
I am taking avonex(interferon beta 1a) cause of multiple sclerosis for the last 5 years and I am overweight.
Since then my period begame irregular and once a year missed.
Please inform the best next actions, because the worst case is being pregnant and too late for an abortion.

You say you took a pregnancy test & it came back negative. And, you used a condom. So.....You are not pregnant. However, what you discribe are premenopausal symptoms. Age 49 sound's about right! Don't worry! Be happy! :d

Sounds like perimenopause to me. Your periods get lighter and less frequent for some time before you quit all together. I am 49 and I haven't had one in 2-3 yrs.Don't worry be happy :d

I, too, have ms. The month before I was dx I stopped my period. Being overweight does not help your period. If you don't want to get pregnant use double protection. If you are being careful then you should not worry about getting pregnant.
