Period again after none for 2 years?

Such a relief! So I guess you're not in menopause yet. Your body isn't quite ready to throw in the towel yet. 😁

Thank you so much!!

I was at the gynie this afternoon. I will do a blood test for FSH, LH, TSH and Estradiol (e2) to check hormone levels, but she said to wait a b it on it, relax for a few weeks after so many tests this year and then do it and come to her. I also have to do another internal US to check on the fibroma just to track if it shrank or grew or whatever. Ugh. Next month I will do both. She said that my ovaries haven't shrunk enough to the menopause size so I am probably still peri menopausal. No need for birth control though as ovulation is extremely unlikely (hope so!!). She thinks that perhaps the Femarelle pill she gave me for hot flashes may have been enough to awaken things a bit, tip the scales and bring on a light period with all the bodily symptoms that accompany this, or that it perhaps it would have happened anyhow. Again, thanks all for the support and I hope all the explanations here - from all of us, will help other women going through all this. xxxx

So I'm getting a little frustrated here.  Had the period after a year, went for all of the test and everything is good.  Last Monday which was a month after the first (menopausal) period, I get my period again.  It ended yesterday afternoon.  Tonight....bloody discharge and crampy again!  Anyone else have this?

Barbara, I asked my gynie yesterday about that! She said that if I'm not completely through peri Meno bleeding can return. And as you know during peri it is a mess. But you can maybe call in, ask a nurse or speak to the Dr, even by phone. If all your results were fine, I'm sure you are too!!

Hi Lana.  I called the gyno last week when I first got it again and she said that I probably just started ovulating again.  I was o.k. with that, but then when I bled for a week and it stopped for just one day and started again, I got frustrated again.  I am not worried (most of the time) about it.  Its that feeling of dread when you first see the blood.  Thought at 57 I would be done with all this by now! 

I get that feeling of dread, I know exactly what you mean. Periods are often like that, too long, too light, too heavy, too soon, it is a mess. I'm 55 and I know how you feel. You know, I get anxious even when I am told I have to do a blood test. I keep checking down there on  the panti liner... I would probably call again and tell her it returned! Did you have your hormone levels tested?

I had my levels tested and these are her exact words. " your blood work was inconclusive, but we are going to say your are post menopausal". But then when I called last week she said I prob started ovulating again....I don't believe you ovulate when u are post.

I do have my results.  I have tried looking it up but can't seem to get any answers. My fsh is 31.5 and my estradiol is 58.0.  Apparently one number should be higher and the other lower?

And by the way, on the results all came back in the "normal" range,  So is that normal for perimenopause or post menopause.  I guess that's where Its inconclusive.

I didnt get my numbers I'll have to call and get them!
