Wow - I've been having the pre-menopausal symptoms for about a year or so now but this is actually the first month where I did not have a period. Does it just stop coming so abruptly? For some reason I thought it would be more gradual rather than just stop outright. I hope that means that my hormones will abruptly even out so that I can lose some weight now!!

    You may be at the end,or you may get a period or two again, sad to say.

    I've gone 90 days without, only to have a few more.

    My most recent one was 1 day long.

    Like you, I hope it's over, and when it ends, I hope weight loss becomes easier.

    Mine had been on and off for over a year. Now, I am coming up on almost a year without a period, so hoping this is it! Most people do not stop abruptly, but maybe you will be lucky?

    I went a year and a half without, then this past September, bam! Feels to me like menopause is a long slow ride for our bodies. Hang in there.

    I had those for a while, including morning sickness and sore breasts.

    So did I, to the point (I am embarrassed to say) I actually bought a pregnancy test! Still have one in my drawer... :blush:

    I did too I was so sick it scared the crap out of me. My boss thought it was hilarious as i kept running to throw up. It's cute when you're young not when you're 48.

    New to the group (and yet this was my first post in which I chose to comment, lol). I was getting mine every three weeks (yes, really) for about six months. Then they came every few months for a year. I went six months with nothing and then had one a month ago out of nowhere and it was brutal. Then had one Friday that lasted a day. Thanks for the surprise, Mother Nature!

    Yup, that is exactly why I wear a liner every single day! I just never know when it will show up these days after years of being so regular!!

    I wish I could skip a month! So far I am still exactly on time every 28 days. I'm so regular that I don't even need a calendar to know when I'm due for that TOM again. :(
