We usually say that you are through the menopause after not having had any period for 2 years.
However, we do get women in your situation who go without for two years or more without a period then either get a single one back again or they restart for a few months.
This is often caused by things such as a 'last fling' by your hormones, stress, illness, strenuous exercise, dieting, change of diet (especially if you improve it).
It is advisable to get it checked out by your doctor as well
