Hi
I've been registered here for a while and posted some time ago but after a brief spell of funny periods about 2 years ago (I have the Mirena coil) things settled down to 28 days.
Last February the coil came out. I went to my GP and he said that I should 'see how I go' as I am now 52. Over the next couple of months I shed the 30lb I had gained while I was on the coil and my periods returned to normal. I felt better tan I have felt for most of my life. Then, out of the blue this month, I missed. A month has gone by and I still haven't had any sign of a period.
I haven't really had many bad symptoms so far, except some hot flushes in the mornings which I've had on and off for about five years, but I can cope with those. Could this finally be the menopause, and would my doctor do test to see or do I have to have gone longer without periods? Do I even need to see my doctor?
