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

    I just recently had this happen to me. I'm 59. Went two years, no period, and then this past Saturday I started bleeding. It stopped on Sunday, and then started again Monday. It's stopped again, but I'm having some pain in my lower abdomen. 

    When I was younger I had female problems always with menstration. Had to have 4 d n c's over my life.

    This thread has put me at ease somewhat. But I will probably get in to see a doctor as soon as I can get health insurance issues straigtened out.

      It seems by all the comments here that it's not that uncommon. It happened to me and I had a lot of tests that all came back normal. Call the doctor for sure because it's always a good idea to be safe though.

      Oh, and the ear ache and tongue feeling weird are probably unrelated on my opinion. Maybe an allergic reaction to something or virus?

    HELLO

    ​I had blleding for 12 days after not having a period for 18months all my freinds told me that i should see a doctor as this was not normal.

    So I made an appointment and the doctor said that i must have a scan to rulke out the on-set of cancer.

    ​I had the scan and a transvaginal scan this was not very nice maybe because i was not expecting it and was very tense.  She took away somecells to test.

    She told me she did not think that there was anything to worry about and would get the results with in 3 weeks.  8 days later i had a letter asjing me to go back to have a Hysteroscopy (camera) this is tommorow 28.09.15,/  I am very tense, feel sick with worry and am very scared.

    I had not had a period in 2 yrs... Unfortunately I had to take provera and it has come will full vengeance! Today is the real first day of bleeding and it is insanely heavy. The cramps are almost as bad as labor and my legs at the top even hurt. I am so happy to have found this site. I know heavy should be expected but how long of the heaviness is to much? Has anyone else gone through this?

    This appears to be a common occurance in menopause , this same thing just happened to me yesterday out of the blue, i have not had any period or issue in three years . Believe me I was shocked and glad i had extra pants and under garments at work. Called my OBGYN and waiting on them to call back next week with what to do.

      Hi Olivia. Best to call the doctor and let them know. They can tell you what to do better than we can. Just curious though. Why did you stop having periods so nearly?

    I am going through this for third time. Previously, after several test I was given birth control to stop the cycle. It seems as though after a year or more it becomes immune and restarts. I have been from light to none to heavy for a month now. Have a doc appt today . I guess what it seems like is that I am starting my period every 28 days with spotting in between
