Menopause periods closer together

Common Questions and Answers about Menopause periods closer together

period

Avatar f tn I am 45 years old this year and my period is over a week late! I don't think I'm pregnant and my periods are usually much closer together if anything. I'm sort of freaking out. I read that it's common to have longer times between periods, but I have never in my life been this late (unless I was pregnant of course). Is anyone else experiencing this at my age? I thought I was a bit too young to be either missing periods or being this late.
Avatar n tn Skipping periods, prolonged periods, spotting, periods closer together, heavier, lighter....everything is possible during this stage of life. Be thankful that you're having this rest from periods right now! :) You'll likely still have another one. I've gone 3 months, then 6 and even almost a full year and gone back to them again. Now, I'm constantly spotting and have gone through testings for it.
Avatar f tn i don't think it is ms related, i am 49 but have gone through menopause,before i did i was very regular and then they started getting closer and closer and lasting longer, then they quit, most often they get further apart but mt dr said they can go both ways
Avatar n tn and not be anything to worry about. Periods can be closer together, (shorter intervals in between), further apart (skipping months...perhaps, several), heavier, lighter....and everything in between. The only "constant" during perimenopause is "change". :) And, no 48 is NOT too young to be having this type of thing happen. Perimenopause can start anytime during our 40's (sometimes, late 30's) and last between 3 and 10 years.
Avatar f tn Periods can either become closer together or farther apart; sometimes lighter or heavier. In regard to fertility, it begins to naturally decline the older we get, so by our late 30's/early 40's it declines more rapidly until it ceases. During perimenopause our hormone levels (Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone) decrease, and ovulation slowly begins to come to an end...
Avatar f tn I also had a endometrial ablation.
Pig Hi there, menopause starts closer to 50. It is rare to have any decline in periods in the 30's and early to mid 40's. I'm in my late 40's and have yet to see much difference. But I'm looking for changes. I suspect they will come in the next few years. My sister at 52 is also not in menopause as of yet. Menopause is different for each woman and is accompanied by several different things besides just one's period stopping.

Avatar f tn I am currently going through menopause and I also had an Ablazen.so my question is why am I having my periods close together? thank you.
Avatar n tn Hi there & welcome to the MS Community, I personally find that IVSM or Methylprednisolone has an effect on my mentruation. I will have more frequent & heavier periods for a while after the steroids & then my body just starts getting back to its normal only to have another lot of steroids. My periods can get closer together as well & it can take months for me to get into a normal routine again.
Avatar f tn Also (not to be insensitive) as you get older your periods can become unpredictable as you move closer to menopause. My mother started when she was 45 and is now 57 and still has an occasional period.
Avatar f tn I was wondering because i no longer have my periods if i can produce healthy eggs to have a baby with my current husband who has no children. We have been together for 13 years and we would like to have a child together. Please help.
Avatar n tn How do you know if you are going through menopause. I am 47 yrs old and my period came on in Dec.24,2007 and this year the 20th of Jan. Is it common for your period to do this.
443862 tn?1237999439 Also, your periods can come closer together and further apart until they stop altogether. I am really struggling each day so I know exactly how you feel, it's like being on a rollercoaster. But I have been told that once you have had your final period for good, things start to get better. So roll on that day!!!!!!! Also, you are right, things are usually worst during before a period, mine definately are, it's when your hormones are at their lowest. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn My periods have been stable the last few months but I usually have either normal or too close together periods. Maybe the meds will help but I think I have thyroid probs more on the hyperside but because I'll have an abnormal test but then a normal test, the abnormals are being considered flukes. Any ideas/suggestions. I'm so tired of chasing my tail.
979826 tn?1389036358 ok i know this is a strange question coming from me, but how early can menopause come?
53833 tn?1234996629 Ah the joys! I am 48 and this month I got 2 periods (2 weeks away from 1st one). Very heavy bleeding - feel like hell. Wondering if this is a sign of menopause or something else. Hear people who start skipping or spotting in between but this is a full blown one. Sister is 51 and began about a year ago. Any info anyone has will be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn I have good volume of hair and have a normal hair fall when i wash, not more. But i have been facing irregular periods since a year.. i get my periods after 4 months.. so do u still feel it may be pre-menopause?? I have heard that menopause starts between 45-50 yrs of age. I am only 38.. so is it possible that i may be having early menopause?? does that mean that even if i get married now i may have probs in bearing children?? I am really worried. plz assist.
Avatar n tn I am 40,Never in my life ihad a problem,my periods were always on time,but this is since 4 mnths my periods are irregular,this time my periods have continued for a month,still not stopped,i went to gyn,she put me on provera,it didnt wrkd,no w she put me on yasmine,light birth control pills,its been 3 days,still i am bleeding,she have told me once period stops come for biopsy.i am worried losing lot of blood is not good.pl suggest me any cure for this.
Avatar n tn Long periods do go hand and hand with menopause. Unfortunately menopause isn't something that appears one day it is a long process. For approx. 7 years I was on the road to menopause. It began with irregular periods, several periods in a month, periods that lasted anywhere from 1-8 weeks. It was not a fun time in life at all. There were several times when I went as long as 8 months without a period...only to kick back in regular as clockwork. Talk about disappointing.
Avatar n tn For many, this cessation of menstrual periods will represent permanent menopause but a minority will have return of menstruation either regular or irregular in the future.I have read that some women restarted menstruation 2 years or more after completing Chemotherapy. I am also glad to know that you finished all your treatments and I wish you continued good health! :) Take care...
Avatar f tn The past 5 months, nothing, no psm at all but still getting regular periods. Could it be menopause or perrimenopause setting in. 47 yrs old. Good health.
Avatar n tn I would like to know if it is possible that fibroids can cause this discharge? Are the frequent periods possibly due to the onset of menopause? I do not always have periods this close together, just occasionally. I have an ultrasound and gyn appointment, but it isn't until May 1 and I am worried. Thank you for any help you can offer.
Avatar n tn Some people do have a pause in the middle. Maybe your periods are getting lighter overall and that is revealing this tendency when before it was masked by heavier periods.
Avatar f tn How do I know when I'm coming into this? My periods slowly moved from every 4- 5 weeks to about every 3 weeks. Last time though I had about 7 weeks in between (great!) They are lighter too, only last about 3 -4 days instead of the 7 - 8 they used to be. I am 50 and have 6 kids. I did mention to my doctor about the time between periods being shorter now and she examined me and said there were no suspicious things going on inside. Any advice, anyone?
