I am fifty one and getting periods fortnightly. Is this normal?

This is usually one of the first symptoms to appear as you start the approach to the menopause.

However, if this goes on for a while it can cause anaemia which in turn can cause low mood, fatigue and sleep problems so it is best to get it checked out at some point.

In the meantime you may find Agnus castus helpful as this is traditionally used to help re-regulate the monthly cycle.
