I am 50 yrs old and had regular periods up until 10 weeks ago (every 28 days) could I be starting menopause?

Missing periods are usually one of the first signs of the approach to the menopause and you are in the average age range 45-55 so it is possible. You may find that you miss a couple of periods then they come back for a while then stop again and so on, this can continue for quite a while before they finally stop! Best thing to do is see your doctor, they can test your hormone level and that will give you a better idea of what is happening.
