I am 50 years old. I have not had a period for two years, but today I started. Is this normal?

    Hi Meomi

    I saw my Dr yesterday. She said she thinks it's probably just hormone related (for me), but to go off my Bioidentical hormones and have a pelvic ultrasound next week. She said this happened to her last year - she's in her 60's

      Hi Shellsnbells,

      It's funny because mine felt completely hormonal too.  I actually felt like I was ovulating about two weeks prior to both these latest periods and thought that was strange after 1 year without any period or menopausal symptoms.  I am not on any hormone therapy but perhaps my body just felt it had a last hurrah or two left to give.  I will feel better after my pelvic ultrasound next week too.  Best wishes for your good health.

      Blessing to all ~

    I am 58 and haven't had a period in several years, to make things more complicated I have PCOS which can make a woman more susceptible to certain Gynecological cancers, so you can image how freaked out I was about 2 1/2 months ago when I had a dark discharge--I told my Doctor and we agreed to wait and see if it happened again, and sure enough this week I am spotting red blood accompanied by most of the ususal symptoms of a normal period--cramping, increased hungry, etc. I am so happy I found this forum, I see my Doctor in a week and will consult with her about the tests I need, but just to know that I am not the "only one" is such a comfort!

    I had my ultrasound yesterday. See my Dr today for results. My bleeding lasted for 3-4 days and no sign of any since

      Hi Rachel,

      I am assuming you have read my post from August. Like you I was beside myself with worry but all was well and it has now been 10 months and no further problems. I was delighted to find this site. It kept me thinkin positive. This problem is very common but ALL bleeding MUST be investigated. Please post to say you have made an appointment and let us know how you get on. The more who go to be checked and the more who post to say all is well really helps others.

      Take care. Julie X

      Hi Julie

      Went to GP'S today 'she saw me straight away took a swab incase of infection  and had a look at the neck of the womb and cervix..it looks normal to her she's refered me to a Gynocologist for further checks to be on the safe side but she believes it it also a late period caused by the sudden rush of hormones .I will be sure to post again after my Gyno appointment in about 2 weeks time

      I had the ovarian cancer blood test on Friday.  Got my result today.  It was normal.  I have a cyst on my ovary that looked different.  I also gave thickening of the uterine lining.  I also have one or two polyps which caused bleeding.   I have to have an MRI.  I'm hoping everything comes out ok.  I am going to have a hysterectomy.  Im scared!  Is everything ok with you?

    Hi Debbie

    Don't get too stressed about the blood test. It's generally not used as a cancer 'diagnosis'. It can be raised for many reasons apart from the dreaded 'big C' It sounds like he's just being very thourough. Let us know how you go  smile

    Any forum where we can get together and share our knowledge based on experience, is a blessing. I have resumed my cycle after 9 months of nothing. This is the second month of what had become a normal cycle before it stopped. As I am very healthy and felt no different than usual, I have assumed that it was within "normal" for menopause(which covers as wide a range of possible symptoms as the uniqueness of each of us). It's nice to get confirmation from others though.

    I have not been to a doctor for over 40 years and wonder at how quickly so many of us go and get prodded and poked and filled with the fear of possibilities,instead of trusting our own inate sence and the shared wisdom we hold.
