My period has not came for over 9 months. I don't have any other symptoms and I'm 51 years old. My doctor says I could be one of the lucky ones. Is this really the menopause?

You are considered through the menopause after not having had any periods for 2 years but it does sound like  you are going through it.

Many women have little or few symptoms so, yes, you are one of the lucky ones!

However, it is important to look after yourself well at this time, have a good diet, plenty of water, sensible exercise, and as little stress as possible and you should continue to feel fine.
