Hi, I recently turned 50 & my periods are getting to ne more unpredictable. I have ovarian cysts & PCOS. A few months ago I didn’t get my period for 3 months. I took a pregnancy test to see if I was pregnant & thankfully the results were negative.

I recently had an issue with spotting which made me think that I was starting my period early. It lasted for one day. I didn’t get it this month yet. I usually get it at around the 15th-25 th of the month.

I’m not on birth control. I used it once & I got stuck with having extremely heavy bleeding fir 10 months strsight! It was hell! The birth control pills messed up my system!

I almost thought I needed a hysterectomy! At what age do periods usually stop for good? I know that a woman isn’t officially in menopause until there are no periods for a year.

When did menopause start for dome of you? What are the main signs of it?
