Period again after none for 2 years?

Followed thread on this subject and was relieved that in 99% of cases MD found it not a major probem and tests to determine were quite quick and simple.  But longest after  menaupause when folks reportaed menstruation was 5 years (usually 2 or 3 years)  Soo my question is this Anyone know of anyone-- besides me-- who had menstruation 20 years after menopause?  I have the sudden bloat and backache needing heating pad just as in past....  But 20 years?? Would appreciate replies.  

Hi Tracie and other Ladies, 

I guess I am going through the same phase.  I had my last periods in December 2011 and after than had nothing.  A few days ago I felt period cramps and since yesterday have been having red discharge... is this normal should I see a gynaec???  I am only 47 years old. 

 

Hi Ladies I am have the same panic now. I am 54 and I have felt PMS all week, very tender breasts for the last couple of weeks and this week I have cried and cried over things.  Then yesterdtay I noticed the light blood stains, only a couple and then today I have had period pain and tiredness like I used to get.  So far no more bleeding though.  And yes I am really panicing as I too googled it as I have not had a period since two years ago this coming August.  What worries me is that before I stopped I had to go on mild hormone tablets to thin the lining of my womb and when that got sorted and I came off the tabs I have not had any more periods.  I do suffer from panics as my friend died of cancer and I paniced as soon as i googled it so it is good to read that other people are the same as me.  It is just all so scary.  The trouble is I am not brave at all!  I wish all you ladies the best and hope you are all ok.

Hi everyone,

after reading all these responses i'm really worried, i had a very slight bleed about a year ago (14mths after last period).  I did nothing, then last week i had a full blown heavy period which lasted 6 days.  I have now contacted my GP who has referred me, and my appt is next tuesday.  I am so worried and anxious.

Hi I have been to see the consultant and have to have a hysteroscopy, the internal scan, and they then said that I have a thicker womb lining that I should have but that could be because I have just been bleeding and I also have a Polyp which they have taken away for a biopsy,  I was a nervous wreck.  All I can say to anyone is when they have a bleed after 12 months please go to see your GP and get a referral.  A lot of the time it is just your ovaries kicking it for one final time - that's what the consultant said to me.  Better to be checked and if there is anything catch it early.  It's awful all of this.  Oh for a world without cancer and fear of cancer eh!  Wishing you all of the best.

I have a question.  I am 55 years old.  I have not had a period in over a year.  But never had any symptoms of menopause.  Never had a hotflash.  Not once.  Only symptom of menopause... no period.

But periodically there has been a little blood in my vagina.  But no full period. Yesterday more.  Cramps.  That bloated feeling.    I have felt like twinges of ovulation.  Hormonal flucuations.  But no periods.  So I just blew it off as I have been told no periods... you are done.  Read no periods no way in hell you can have another period.   What's the truth?

I read thruogh WEBMD, MAYO Clinic websites.  Scared th hell outo f me as if the only thing is cancer.  Then I came ot th forum.  Where some women do have hormnal surges and signs of periods. 

 

I also have had acne.  I thought it was rosceaca.  But now I wonder if it was hormones.

Hi Heather you will b fine having it without a general. I did and I'm the biggest Nerve bag going. I was actually crying all the way through it but the procedure wasn't bad. It's just the wait for the biopsies to come back. You have so much going on in your life now and you will get thru it. If you want to chat on a 1 to 1 I can give you my details. You take care.
