55 and still having regular periods!

Hi, I’m 55 and still having regular painful periods . Is anyone else the same? I’m wondering when are they ever going to stop and I’m definitely menopausal with all the hot flushes/ exhaustion/ low mood etc! All my friends finished when they were 48/52 just wondering if there’s something going on with me! Or is normal to have periods at 55!

🤔 You may still be experiencing Perimenopause…..some women don’t reach Menopause (a year without a period) until they are 60.

Or..you may have Late Onset Menopause

🙂Speak to your GP for peace of mind.

Not what you're looking for?
