Has anyone ever went several months without a period and it shows up out of nowhere? Im 53 and 1 month and 10 days exact. I thought it would be over by now.

    I went eight months without a period then boom! I had another one and another. Long story short. I had a period for a year until I stopped for good.

    I was 51 when I stopped completely. It depends on the woman. I know women who stopped at 44 and another had a period until she was 57.

    Hiya

    I know what you mean. Im 54 no periods for nearly a year. Went on HRT about 5 months ago and just had a huge period! So loads of anxiety has kicked in now as Im worried something is wrong now. Back to the Docs again !

    I thought Id be well over all this now (my Mum fnished hers at 45 with no problems) .

    Anyhoo hopefully we'll be through it soon eh?

    Take care

    I am 48 and went almost 12 months without a period but now back on a 27 day cycle this year. gggrrrr!

    I think I read somewhere on here that their gyno had suggested that year period free really isn't long enough to wait, and we should be looking at 2-3 years period free to say that it is really done.

    Yes, @ 48, no period for 4 months (never happened before), then began full flow-hemorrhaging, daily, for 30+ days (also never happened before).Biopsies were clear. Ultrasound showed no mass however, Gyn believes an ovary is possibly "bound" by Endometriosis based on Ultrasound. History of severe endometriosis, several endo' surgeries through 20's and early 30's. Gyn believes scar tissue from those surgeries may be an issue. Turned 49 last month. Now 6 weeks since hemorrhaging stopped - may be building up again. Hysterectomy scheduled.

      Also....intense and constant leg pain. Mostly quads shooting down toward knee from top of each leg. It does travel all the way down, however, most intense is in both quads primarily.
