I'm getting a lot of hot flushes and I have not had a period for 2 months. However, I have had period symptoms. This happened at the same time last year. Whats happening to me?

Some women do find that it takes a few years for their periods to wind down, stopping and starting all the time!

You can still get monthly symptoms as there is still a hormonal cycle but just not high enough to trigger a bleed.

You may be able to get your doctor to test your hormone levels and that will give you a better idea as to what is happening.
