I have not had a period for 2 years and now I am having slight bleeds again. Is this normal?

We usually say that you are through the menopause after not having had any periods for 2 years, but we do get women in your situation.

Some women can go for two years, or more, without a period and 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, or a change of diet - especially if you have improve it.

However, it is best to get it checked out by your doctor as well
