i am 68 and appear to be having a period
Here you must also see your age, if it is say 48 years of age and you have not had your period for ten long months , thenit is considered menopause.
I have gone for over two months without my period in a couple of occasions. Sometimes a sudden change in your lifestyle, training routine, diet etc... can cause a delay. Also, there are many medical conditions that may alter your period and some of them develop later on in life. There is also menopause that should be taken into consideration.
Once you begin your period, you should have one about every 28 days throughout your life until you begin menopause. Each period can be different. Each woman is an individual and not all periods are the same. Each monthly period can be from one to 10 days in length, it can also vary in flow. Light,medium and heavy. You will become familiar with your period as the months and years pass.
Post menopause begins a year after a woman's last menstrual period ends. It lasts the rest of her life unless she undergoes hormonal treatments to induce a menstrual cycle.
Being low in progesterone especially with a history of PMS and being of the age for Peri-menopause (35-45 yrs old). See the book "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Peri-Menopause" by John R. Lee M.D. for more on Peri-menopause and treatments. Also, a fibroid and or endometriosis can cause excessive menstrual type bleeding.
Menopause is officially defined as having occurred when a woman has not had a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months. This typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. However, before reaching menopause, women go through perimenopause, a transitional phase where fertility declines but pregnancy is still possible. Therefore, while menopause marks the end of reproductive capability, it's important to note that pregnancy can still occur during the perimenopausal phase.
You answered it right there, menopause hun. your periods have stopped.
It varies from woman to woman; but the cycle is normally 27 - 32 days long. The period itself is normally 2 - 4 days.

As soon as you notice some irregularity in your periods, you might be starting the process, which is called peri-menopause. That will be your condition for as long as you have period, which could be anywhere from 5 to 15 years depending on all factors of your health and family history. When you have not had a period for a full 12 months, you would then be considered in full menopause. In fact, once you've gone the year without a period (or spotting), you are actually Post-menopausal.
