four months without a period

TheRealParisLove

And it was wonderful! Was. I got my period today. I mentioned to my husband that I was feeling "under the weather" about 3 days ago. After I thought about it, I realized that I felt like I was experiencing PMS. Turns out, I'm not done with my cycles just quite yet.

I'm looking forward to this being over. I felt better over the last few months than I've felt my entire adult life. Here's hoping it is all over soon.

I'm hoping right along with you. Actually, this gave me hope because so far my longest stretch without one has been 6 weeks. And on those months when I am 2 weeks late, I'm absolutely and totally miserable, for about 2 weeks. I have been worried that when I begin skipping months, it might be miserable. But this gave me hope.

I haven't skipped a whole cycle yet but the not knowing when to expect it is crazy!

Paris - On the positive side it's good to hear you were feeling so good for those months.

deksgrl - Wen I am later than usual I have so much bloating and discomfort and it makes me miserable too.

DAMN! Sorry you have to start the counting over. :-(

But glad you're FEELING GOOD!

Yup. That's the conventional wisdom. That's what I've always heard and been waiting for.

I was sure surprised when my period started after THIRTEEN MONTHS without a period! (age 57). I could hardly believe it. My friend started her period 18 months after her previous period. I think this happened to her in her late 50s. We thought we were "safe" and done with it after a year without a period.

My longest gap was four months as well. Looking forward to stopping forever.

When you started again after 13 months, was it a one time cycle or did you have other periods as well?

I think I had periods for a few months, then about a 8 month gap. Now I'm just waiting. But at my last dr appt, they took blood for that FSH hormone and said that my hormone levels are showing that I am going into menopause. I have not had any other symptoms. I have not had hotflashes. I did gain about 10 pounds, but that was because I was going a rough time and was overeating. I joined MyFitnessPal and am working on losing the weight.
