My periods have always been every 28 days and I am 52, but my last period started at the end of July and it is now 56 days since I have had one. I do not have that many hot flushes but have been ill with a cold, which caused my temperature to increase. Am I going through the menopause now?
This is an indication that you may be approaching the menopause.
You may find your periods come and go for a while then stop completely.
You can ask your doctor to test your hormone levels and that will give you a better idea of what is happening.
Most women will go through the menopause with little if any symptoms and you may find that you get the odd flush when tired, stressed or run down.
