A period after almost 2 years at 56!

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi, Im after some advice really. I am 56, 57 in January. I stopped my period around October 2018. I have had absolutely nothing since then, no sore boobs, nothing to indicate anything of any oncoming pmt/period.

I woke up this morning, thinking id cut myself, then realising it was another period, is not spotting its full on, i have had sore boobs for over two weeks, been irritable, very anxious low mood, stomach ache, craving for chocolate, and constipation all the things i used to get before i got my period! I seriously didn't think it was an oncoming period at my age! The only thing i did the other day (unrelated im sure but thought id mention it) I had some soya milk. I did hear a while ago that as it contains plant based oestrogen it can bring on a period?

Is this normal? can this happen, im flabbergasted as i thought this was finally the end of it, as been peri since 47. I have called my GP practice as thought might need to check it out, have been told i should be contacted within the next 2 days.

Honestly didn't expect to buying lilets at 56!?? 😦

    Niki, it is probably nothing, but its not normal. Do get it checked by your doc to rule out any changes that are not normal. Do let us know what u find out.

    All the best!!
