Possibly NSFW: If you have experienced menopause will you take a moment to answer my question?

Asked by wiscoblond (2250) August 29th, 2019 from iPhone

My period is two weeks late as of today. The only other times it’s been this late is when I’ve been pregnant. I’m 48 years old.

I’ve experienced night sweats on and off the past two years. My periods have become heavier and more painful as well, but they are usually on time.

When peri menopause begins does your period stop all of the sudden or are you late and irregular for several months before it ends for good?

I understand everyone’s experience can be different. I’m scheduled to see my doctor but the appointment isn’t until early October.

Serious answers only please. This is in General.
