Having a gap now of 11 months I am soon to be officially menopausal! However I feel very much like I am cycling again after about 6 months of feeling nothing. I have had about 3 weeks of ovulatory mucus and breast soreness coupled with no night sweats at all, whereas previously I was awake many time a night boiled! So now I am expecting a bleed which of course I will have to get checked out according to NHS guidelines.
So my question really is for ladies who reached the year mark and were not on HRT how did you feel? Did you have another bleed close to the year, or just after, and did you have to start the countdown all over again? If you did bleed again with premenstrual symptoms did you have investigations or just accept it as part of the change?
I suppose hormonal decline isn't a straight line and we have ups and downs. Of course I may not bleed at all. Did any of you have premenstrual symptoms in the year after meno such as the ovulatory mucus and not see a bleed?
