Hi! I have not had my period for about 6 months now. I tried pregnancy test each and every month but it seems negative. I know i'm not pregnant. does it mean that i'm already menopause? I'm only 35 and this bothers me a lot. I hope to get answers from this forum as soon as possible. Thanks!


lyka

The average of menopause is from 48-52 years of age, i guess. Since your only 35, there must be another problem for this. Anyway, are you using contraceptives?


irene

There is a big chance that you are pregnant since your not menopause yet. Visit your gynecologists for further information.


wea

Thank you for your replies! Lyka- i'm not using contraceptive. I know i could be pregnant anytime now. What makes me confused is that i don't have any symptoms of pregnancy. Could this be perimenopause or something?


lyka

wea-Okay, are you going through the perimenoposal symptoms? If not, then there's a possibilty that you are pregnant. Pregnancy is very high in the perimenopausal age, you should be using contraceptives if you don't want to get pregnant.

lyka- Will my life be at risk if i'm going to be pregnant? Is it too late for me to use contraceptives? I don't think i have the symptoms of perimenopause like hot flashes or something. This is so confusing. More advice please...


trixie

No, i don't think your life will be at risk not unless you're taking medications which will complicate your pregnancy. It is best for you to visit your doctor now.


juliet

wea, as you stated in your post that it's been 6 months that you have not have your period. not all pregnancy test are accurate. don't you really think you're pregnant? i mean... aren't you experiencing symptoms of being pregnant like morning sickness, food craving or anything???


wea

no, i don't have any symptoms of pregnancy. i think i need to talk to my gyno regarding on this to make sure that i'm not pregnant. wish me luck!



olivia

hi wea! exact same thing happened to me last year. mine was 8 months, no period. at first i thought it was menopause but after 8 months it started up again. i think this is normal cos i've read posts on another forum where ladies have gone 6 to 8 months or even more than a year w/o a period then started up again.


wea

glad to hear that olivia! it does ease my fears a little. my gyne has lined me up for bloodwork 2 days from now to see where i stand in menopause. wish me luck!


emily

wew, thought i would be the only person experiencing this. i haven't had my period for 1 year and two months. but guess what? it started back again 2 days ago! funny thing is... i have to run to the grocery to buy tampax! damn! don't know if i should bother my gyne for this, i guess i'll just wait what will happen next. too lazy for this happening over and over again.


julie

happy to belong here, ahahaha.... my period started again last month after not having it for 10 months! here i am now counting the months all over again. aarrrrggggggghhhhhh......


aubrey

i feel for you ladies as this exact same thing happened to me last year. it had been almost two years. i am interested to know how things have gone for you ladies who experienced this.


sheila

someone told me to see the gyne if bleeding happened after a year. does anybody know if this is true?


aubrey

hmmm... i have no idea! i never had the chance to see my gp when my period started again because i haven't experienced any pain. mine was almost 2 years, do you think i should see my gp?


sandra

to expect anything different would be kind of cruel. but it's better than to do nothing at all!
