Late menopause
Posted , 8 users are following.
I am 54 years old and only started perimenopause a 18mths ago, up until the last year I was having a regular 28 day cycle with no problems. Things are more erratic now and over the last year I have sometimes gone 3 months with out any period. My doctor alarmed me last year by saying if I was still having a period next year "she would do something about it". I can see no reason why I should be medicalised or worse operated on when I have no symptomes beyond just being a bit later than others. I can not speal for my mother she chooses to not tell me her history but my pattern is following my grand mothers. I would really welcome other's thoughts on this. This attitude of suggesting something will be done is really affecting me.

Take no notice, obviously an incompetant doctor,
Nothing wrong with a later peri, we all vary, i was just aged 40-41 and had 10 year natural peri, age 50 now post meno.
Doctors do not own us, we choose to hear their advice, half of them are stupid and dont understand menopause, and we do not have to do anything they may suggest. So dont worry.
See a Gyno in future if poss.
Embrace your peri and menopause.
We cant prevent it, let your body do its own thing in its own time.
Lots of meds and contraceptive pill can interfere with the onset of peri in some women.
Avoid that doctor ( real prat)
