Actually, things can be even more interesting 🥰 2,5 years after my ‘last’ period I got pregnant(54) The pregnancy lasted only 5 weeks but treasured that short special time🙏 In the meantime, my friend (55) recently got period after 3 years ‘post menopause’. Checked by her doc, a completely normal period 😃 Our bodies are unique, we do not always go along doctors textbooks 💃🏿
Thank you so much for this information. I haven’t had a period for 18 months then all of a sudden started feeling the cramping and tender breast and sure enough I started my period again. Been so worried about this. Your information made me feel so much better knowing that exercise and diet can be a factor in this .
I haven’t had one in 18 months either and this past week. I’ve had some strange awful pain in my uterus. It’s different than your average cramps. It’s a bit more painful. Obviously I ovulated I think I had tender breasts that discharge and then soon after that stabbing pains in my right ovary, and then these awful pains in my uterus that I have never experienced calling my doctor tomorrow morning. This is also very scary to me. I’m 46 years old and I don’t know what this pain is.
So far this is the most helpful video. I haven't had a period in ten years but as soon as I went Keto it came back. Not bad and not often but still once in a while it'll show a little. I don't plan to see a doctor, where I live a good one is impossible to find. So I'm just researching to see what info I can find. Thanks for making this, it's the only one I've seen so far 👌💕
I had a period when I started keto as well. I have been on keto for about a year and a half and recently went off. I've been trying to get back on track over the last two days and I don't think keto works that quickly but I have one again. I'm not overly concerned because it feels like a proper peroid; I was emotional before and felt like crying for no reason, with breast tenderness, depression, happiness, craving sugar, something I never do since keto, even the slight peroid cramps. I'm thinking a more serious condition wouldn't have these familiar symptoms.
@@garnellwallace5594 Agreed👌. I had couple cycles that were heavier but still within reason as far a timing and symptoms. I'm not worried at all, only annoyed lol😅. I have however, been learning that keto for women will mess with hormones because of the constant release of cortisol. I'm actually on a protein priority program with a lady who is helping people get back their metabolism from keto damage. It definitely messed me up😭😭😭.
Thank you for this video. I haven't had a period in over a year. The last time I had spotting the blood test showed I wasn't in menopause . Because it's been over a year I thought I was finished but I recently had ovulation symptoms , cramps, breast tenderness and now a period. Im 53, I started to panic but your video eased my mind. I started exercising and eating healthy recently so this may be the cause. Thank you so much.
Thank you! I'm 48 and really needed this info. My period stopped for 79 days and I loved it. Then it came back with a vengeance and stayed coming back for one year. Then it stopped for 61 days of more heaven and I told myself it was never going to come back again. Then I decided to quit weed and I was eating very healthy and very little. I think the big change in diet made it come back, but I don't really know. I'm not as frustrated after watching this. So appreciated.. .
Thank you for this video. I hadn’t had a period in a year and a half then about a month ago, I had cramps and breast were very tender. I told my husband that I feel like I was ovulating. Of course he was like “WHAT???!!!”. Then about two weeks later, yep had a period. I went to doctor and they did an ultrasound and they said all looked good and actually was surprised. She said “I guess it was a fluke”. I don’t like these flukes. Not wanting to start over with all this crap. 🙁It’s also been nice to see that I am not alone by all the comments.
Oh wow. I thought I was completely done. Hadn't had a cycle in over 3yrs and then all of the sudden bam (56yrs old). But the change was I went plant based and have been getting healthy. Definitely going to see my doc.
Hi Mamasoto I have heard on numerous occasions where women have improved their diet and periods have come back, but it is certainly a good idea just to double check with your doctor! Best Wishes Eileen
Thank you feel much better after watching this video I’m 53 my period came back last week I thought I was done for good well explanatory in this video no worries I will take on your advice
Thank you very much. Spoke to my exact issue. It's been just two years and I suddenly seem to have a period starting today. I'm going to do some more research before I call the doctor today. I have no insurance and wants to be prepared.
I have a question for you. Did you have any weird uterine cramping unlike normal cramps? Because I’m having this problem right now I’m at the year and a half mark and I ovulated this week sore breasts sore nipples and I’m having the strangest most awful pain in my uterus. I’m scared to death.
This is so helpful! I feel like I keep getting close to one year then another period shows up. Last time was Sep 11, 2021. Now getting signs of another one and was a little worried as had almost been a year so I thought I was done. But I also started a new diet and exercise routine about 6 weeks ago. I feel amazing but it never occurred to me that it could be the cause of a period coming back.
Hi Michelle Yes, this is quite a common trigger for periods re-appearing! But... it is still important to just to check with your doctor as well. Best wishes Eileen
You are one of the few people to mention diet changes. I lost weight and have to adjust my hormone replacement therapy. Of course this was after a painful biopsy and several monograms showed I am basically healthy.
I havent had a period for a year and a little more then all of a sudden i had a period.....and that is exactly what i was doing.....overloading my body with a lot of nutrition and only healthy clean food.....Thanks for sharing
Im 48 , I hadn't had a period in 90 days. I was so happy to be in my premenopausal stage of life, I had hot flashes for about a month starting in May of this year & they suddenly went away. Then BAM ! Im currently having the absolute worst, & heaviest period EVER ! 😔 Im in so much pain I couldn't go to work today. I hope this is the very end of whatever is left because this is horrible 😢
Under extreme stress it went away, then when the stress went away they came back. Then intermittent spotting. I asked my sister who's near 70 when it's over - she said "I'll tell you when it stops!" Going gluten-free might have changed it. Listen, this is all new ground because women in previous generations didn't talk about it or won't talk about it or didn't live that long for other reasons.
Thank you very much for the information.. I was very confused for getting periods after 14 months.. since I am fasting ( Ramzan month) and having only healthy food like juices, salads and chicken mutton etc and also performing extra namaaz (prayer) as exercise I got my period.. so surely I will continue the same
That's so interesting, it just shows that improving diet and relaxation can have a huge impact on hormones. However, it is still wise just to get this checked by your doctor as well Best Wishes Eileen
Thank you so much for your honesty . I’ve been googling freaking out . I thought I was in menopause . I’ve had horrible hot flashes and all the other symptoms . My last cycle was August 3 2021 . I started exercising and taking a woman’s 1 a day vitamins . Well July 31 2022 my period came back . I’m in complete shock . Now I’m guessing I haft to start all over again . Again thanks for your video . My body has definitely pulled a number on me .
Oh, that's always annoying when that happens, Dawn! I have also heard of a number of women have just one period a year for several years at roughly the same time too! Best Wishes Eileen
Thank you so much for this. I needed a little reassurance. My last period was December 2020. Then the hot flashes started. It’s been a roller coaster since with a tiny drip of a period in March 2022. BUT over the last week, I felt some off things in my nether regions and lo and behold, yesterday cramps and a backache and then a full on period. After 18 months!! 🤬. I hope this is the last hurrah. I’m so over this.
Hi MCs Yes, this can happen for some women, but hope it is the last for you! However, it is still important to get this checked by your doctor too. Best Wishes Eileen
Thanks for the information. I haven't had a cycle in 1 yr & I'm 54 then all of a sudden I had a period that was not heavy but lasted three days. I have a OBGYN appt in a week. I was so worried although I don't have any symptoms you mention other than a menstrual cycle. I thought a cycle at my age was alarming.
Hi E Many women go without a period for months or even a year or so and then either get a single one back again or they restart for a few months. The one-off period or spate of periods is often caused by things such as a 'last fling' by your hormones, stress, illness, strenuous exercise, dieting etc. We do, however, still advise getting this checked by the doctor which, good to hear, you are doing. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi again, thank you for responding to my comment below. I’m sorry I wasn’t clear. I don’t take HRT, I’m only taking natural Progesterone cream that helps with the hot flashes I started getting. It actually made them go away. So can I continue that or no? Also since I’m having a period again after 16 months, how do I gauge where I am in menopause? Do I have to wait another 12 months to be in menopause again? I’m just confused because I was always told after 12 months with no period I was in menopause. Thank you for everything!
You're welcome Holly! Yes, it can all be very confusing! If you're finding the cream helpful then it's fine to continue for as long as it does so. There may come a point where hormones change and it may not so helpful then but just wait and see. Some sources do say one year without periods but, in our experience, a lot of women like yourself can go a year or more then get one of more back. This is often due to a 'last fling' by the hormones but also wise just to check with your doctor too. We now say two years just to be on the safe side. Best Wishes Eileen
I'm 56 and restarted my periods about 8 months ago after 16 months of absence. I've been on HRT for 6 years. I started on the combined patches of 2 weeks oestrogen and 2 weeks progesterone whilst still having regular periods, then they naturally stopped. I've never stopped the HRT. I went to get checked by hospital who checked the lining of my womb and she said all looked good. I'm still having regular periods every month alongside the normal PMT symptoms beforehand. No other symptoms just heavy breasts, some hair loss. Please can you advise while I wait and wait for hospital appointment as I'm terrified I've got cancer
Hi Skye In our experience a number of women get periods back after a year or more and often due to the examples I give in the video. However, getting this checked out is a good idea and I'm glad to hear that you have done this. If the hospital has said all looks good are they just doing a general follow up? Best Wishes Eileen
I am grateful thankful for this video I have not been with a period for 3 years I am 55 and it’s back on i am going to the Doctor after it’s gone off to make sure everything is good I believe I am yet still I did not understand til I heard others stories I feel great I am so surprised getting use to not having a period now having one is a bit overwhelming Thank you again you was very helpful ❤
3,5 in menopause then regular periods again 😅 I did take excellent care of myself with herbs & homeopathy, so they may just have fixed what was lacking 😍
my mom is 47 and she hadn't had period for 10 months and all of a sudden she experienced heavy bleeding. I'm worried that it may also be an indication of some serious disease. 😢
Hi Periods coming back within the first year is quite common and often a 'last fling' by the hormones, however, it is important to check with the doctor too, just to rule out other issues such as fibroids, polyps/cysts or even a prolapse Best Wishes Eileen
I haven't had a period for over 4yrs and right after I drunk this tea my period came back, I know my hormone levels were low so I'm thinking the tea may have just raised my levels a bit, I hope that's what it is
Thanks for easing my concerns after having a period after almost two years. I will get checked out by my healthcare provider to be safe but I feel much less concerned.
I'm 61, haven't had a period for almost 8 years and experiencing bleeding and beginning to get very worried. Experiencing no pain though. What should I be asking my doctor?
Hi KC Yes, in this situation it is wise to check with your doctor, this could be caused by a number of issues so a proper diagnosis is needed first. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi this helped me a lot. I didn't have a peroid for 12 months straight. And now I'm having spotting. I'm 48 years old. With a history of endometriosis. Which is mild symtoms I do get. I'm very worried about the spotting. But it only last like a night or day. And it's gone.
In this situation, it's really important to see your doctor; there could be a number of causes so getting a proper diagnosis is needed first. Best Wishes Eileen
This is happening to me right now. I’ve gone almost 17 months without and now I’m bleeding lightly with slight cramping. I’ve been taking progesterone because I thought I was in menopause. Do I have to start all over and go 12 months without again and stop the progesterone? Thank you!
Hi Holly, taking hormones will delay the menopause so you could still getting bleeds for as long as you are taking HRT. The 12 months is more a guidepost for women, but we generally find it can be two years because we a period often comes back between 12 and 24 months but when you are taking HRT natural menopause is delayed.
I wonder did you do a video for post menopausal bleeding. I’m going for ultra sound soon. Im a long time in menopause. Doctor is not particularly worried. But I’m a bit freaked out. But that diet thing might be something for me to think about ! Tks.
Hi Anya I haven't done one specifically for post menopause bleeding but the advice in the section 'periods back after two years' would apply for this too Best Wishes Eileen
What could be the reason of periods to first go on for a week and then after 4 days it started again? Asking for 47 years old woman. So much bleeding is making them feel extremely weak. What could be the reason for periods to return again after 4 days?
Hi Although frequent periods can be quite common on the approach to the menopause, they are not good for you and could cause anaemia; this in turn could trigger fatigue/weakness. It is important to get this checked by your doctor, they can test your iron levels and also make sure that other issues such as fibroids, polyps/cysts or a prolapse are not contributing to the bleeding. Best Wishes Eileen
Hello, thank you for the information above. I just found out my mother got her period after 1 year, she is 50 years old. is it something to be worried about? there are so many videos online saying it could be something cancerous!😔
Hi Sukhmani Periods back after a year, in our experience, is quite common and usually nothing to worry about but we do still advise getting it checked by the doctor first. Best Wishes Eileen
This can happen and may be due to things such as a ‘last fling’ by your hormones, stress, excessive exercise, a sudden shock or even being ill. However, it is important to get this checked out by your doctor as well just to eliminate any underlying issues such as fibroids or a prolapse which could also trigger a bleed.
Thank you for this information. I was shocked! I haven't a period for a long years. Then I felt a tender breast and joking myself oppsss my period is coming. Then before I went bed I shocked that I am bleeding and I looked at there is pinkys blood on my paper tissue. Now I am not scared of because of this changing. I am doing exercise and little diet but of course I need to see my doctor for my peace of mind. Thanks this information is big help to relieve my anxiety.
Thank you very much Eileena. I had menopause at the age of 42. After 2 and a half years of following your teaching, my period came back on January 22nd and then it didn't come again. Today is April 9th. What can I do to make it come every month??? please hflp me I have seen the ultrasound and my uterus is clean
This is only video ..that hasn't freaked me out ..two year approx.thought it done n dusted ..nope ,I've got to get a check up ,it felt like a period,coz I thought wow breasts hurt . So we.ll see .thankyou ladies xxx
This may depend on why your periods stopped so young. If this was due to a medical condition, or excess stress or even anorexia, periods may return if general health improves. However, it is really important to get this checked by your doctor first for a proper diagnosis to rule out issues such as fibroids, polyps/cysts or a prolapse Best Wishes Eileen
Before All of This I go To The Dr. Everything is Good ......I am 65 Now ...Period Stop When I was 48 ....Came Back again @ 51 stayed on 9 Days ....58 came back for 1 day .......65 came Back spotted 2 days & Now it's Back again within a month ....I thought no more in My 60s ....Is This Normal for 65 💃💯?
Hi Barbara This is quite unusual and certainly going on for a long time! I would just check with your doctor again and hopefully, all will be well. Best Wishes Eileen
@@AvogelCoUk ...From the day I shared my experience my Period last for 4 days I did cramp ...I did sleep ...So if anything else do appear I will contact my Dr....Thank U Soo Much ...🙏.💯
Hi Jean, why would you be worried? If you haven't had a bleed for 17 years then that is completely normal as you are now post menopause. If you have any kind of vaginal bleeding now after all this time then it is important to go and see your doctor.
Hi Lena It isn't common for periods to come back after all this time so it is really important that you check this with your doctor first for a proper diagnosis. Best Wishes Eileen
I'm 56 and had gone without a period for a year. All of a sudden, it came back. It was like a regular period. I stayed on for 1 week. The next month, I didn't have a period. My doctor is freaking out more than me. I did the transvaginal ultrasound. They didn't see anything due to my fibroids and my uterus being enlarged. They still noted that they also didn't see a tumor. Im leaving my gyno, I'll find another gyno who isn't a worry wart 🤬
Hi Jennifer, Yes, this definitely sounds like it could be the start of the menopause. Fingers crossed you don't have too tough a time! Best wishes Eileen
😞😓. I'm post menopausal. I recently went to a doctor though because I suddenly had a heavy bleeding. Well, the ultrasound spotted a blood clot and a cyst on my ovary. I'm scared because I had one ovary removed in an emergency operation due to a cyst (in my early 30s). I'm 46 btw. Also, my grandmother died from endometrial cancer. To be honest, I'm angry and depressed. I love children and I always wanted children. However I wasn't in the position to in life. And, people really hurt me in life... (people that diserve to be in jail, in my opinion.) They caused me a life of pain. And, they caused my position to not be okay to have children. I want so bad to move on. I was believing that my day will come! Things will all change and I can leave the past behind. Infact, I believe in miracles. I get so mad when people say well I could still adopt... they don't understand the pain nor the depth of my reasons for wanting a perfect ending to my life long hardships. I'm a really good person with a big heart. Everytime I see some 20 something with a baby....I have so much resentment and anger over the injustice. I'm a fool. I was delusional I guess.... trying everyday to have hope still. Believing so much that beyond the reality was a source or God on my side. I feel so let down! I 😭 feel like a fool who just needs to keep telling myself some tarrot card like b.s. just to get out of bed and keep going. But just hearing the doctors words, that I'm "definitely post menopausal...." Was I expecting some delirious fantasy delivery? That would shock me into a high? I'm so stupid. I have to hang onto delusions just to cope. I guess when I'm sixty... maybe someone will have to tell me it's time to face reality.
Hi Dana I am so sorry to hear that you are really struggling with this. Have you looked into some kind of counselling to help you through this? Best Wishes Eileen
@@AvogelCoUk thanks, no. It's my life...my lost dream...my burden. I don't need any councelors shallow b.s. Been there! But! Like I said.... miracles do happen...
. Do you have a missing ovary too? Was it your dream to have kids too? I'm 47 now. Can't even read that long crap of a post I made. The older I get, the worse it is. Time for acceptance.... and finding love.
Miriam Bingamon hi Miriam did you get checked and can I ask the outcome. Cause I’m going through this now. My dr scheduled me a biopsy for this Wednesday. I’m so afraid.
My mom is 57, her period stop 7 years ago but suddenly having periods last month and this month as well the bleeding is very little and no pain .... Hope you reply me :) Im really worried
It is unusual for periods to start again after all this time so it is very important that your mom gets this checked by her doctor. There could be a number of reasons such as fibroids or a prolapse so a proper diagnosis is required first. Best Wishes Eileen
have a blessed day Ma'am, i have few question? 3 years without menstruation called totally menopause? and no more pregnancy anymore?...so confuse 😇💝❤💙thanks for your video...GOD BLESS you
My situation “may” be even more unusual. Mi got my first period at about the age of 12. Then nothing, for years. In my early 30s, when given a vaginal ultrasound, the doctor told me that I just had small ovaries, but prescribed Provera and I think I had 1 period. Then, no period, for the most part, for decades. I am now 58 and, where periods are concerned, have lived much like a man. No cramps, no periods really. When other women would talk about it, it was foreign to me. Early April this year, had a normal period. Decent flow/7 days. End of May, into June a period that started normal, but then didn’t end and got really heavy. Had to buy the NFL of Maxi pads, to get through the day. While bleed was probably about 14 days. Go to the doctor, they do blood work. Tell me to take an iron pill. Get an abdominal and a trans vaginal ultrasound. Couldn’t image the left ovary, but except for a cyst on the right ovary, and Nabothean cysts on my cervix, the report stated nothing unusual, except for endometrium at 7mm. Could be wrong but, I think endometrial hyperplasia starts at 11mm. Still, my doc is SUPER EXCITED about me going for an endometrial biopsy and a subsequent hysterectomy. It’s nice that SHE’s excited. Like other women, in absolutely TERRIFIED! Because other than numbing of the cervix, there are no good stories about this procedure, as nothing else is given for the pain. Worst experience most women have had. Worse, if you’ve never had children, like myself. I know I cannot diagnose myself and I’m taking a risk delaying, while I search for drugs to handle the pain. Also don’t want to be told that I’m overreacting to the pain.
Well, I’m here again, because mine started with a vengeance. this isn’t normal cramping this isn’t normal. I am thoroughly freaked out. I would’ve been 19 months exactly into menopause. My doctor even said I was even though I didn’t get a test done. I am so confused and I’m scared to death and I never imagined this happening, and the bleeding is pretty pretty darn heavy.
I’ve got to go out and get to the pharmacy today and I don’t even have any sanitary napkins. I have one tampon which I’m petrified to use because I don’t know what this pain is. This isn’t normal cramping. If it was normal cramping, I would think to myself OK maybe I fixed my body after a couple years of horrible stress and trauma But this isn’t normal whatever this is radiating down my left leg and has me thoroughly freaked out trying to get into the doctors. Well I can’t get until March so it’s looking like I’m gonna have to go to the emergency room to find out what is happening because I don’t know what else to do and I don’t have medical insurance and I’m legit scared.!
Although periods coming back after a year or more is actually quite common, we always advise seeking medical advice, especially if there is any pain. A number of issues could cause this as well as a hormonal shift, such as fibroids, polyps/cysts or even a prolapse so a proper diagnosis is vital to get the right treatment. Best Wishes Eileen,
Hi Sometimes, medication or a health issues can upset the hormones but if you're worried about this, please just check with your doctor. Hopefully, they'll put your mind at rest Best Wishes Eileen
Hi Nombulelo Periods can come back for a variety of reasons as I mention in the vlog, however, if you've been without periods for more than 6 months then it is important to see your doctor about this. Best Wishes Wileen
Hi, I have missed 4 periods and I had started to excercise, I immediately started to have spotting. After about 3 days of spotting, I started to bleed a little. Is that also a process of stopping? Also does excercise affect the cycle? Is it recommended to hard core excercise through the journey of menopause?
Hi Sunitha, periods stopping and coming back is quite common in the approach to the menopause, and we suspect that changes in our diet or exercise regime can also be a common trigger for this. If you are worried at any stage you could go for a check up. Generally, I don’t recommend embarking on any hardcore exercise, this can become a stress to the body which could potentially exacerbate symptoms.
Hi Clover Missing periods then getting them back again is a really common scenario as you approach the menopause. The stopping/starting can go on for quite a while before periods stop for good! Best Wishes Eileen
Hi Joan If periods have come back that could indicate that the oestrogen level has risen and this can stop low oestrogen symptoms such as flushes. :) Best Wishes Eileen
@@AvogelCoUk o wow, well I still got my periods but I been noticing is changing for the past 3-4 months, we don’t use protection because my ob said at my age is very unlikely to get pregnant so not to worry about it 🤷🏻♀️
I’m having some thing really strange things going on horrible uterine pains that are worse than menstrual cramps. I would be a year and a half into menopause. I’m 46 now… well I noticed this past week I had very sore breasts sore nipples and I was ovulating then comes this terrible pain that felt like it was in my uterus worse than period cramps, and I’m just wondering to myself what is happening? I’m calling my doctor first thing in the morning. I’m scared to death.
Over the past two years right before it just stopped I had been through some traumatizing things. I was extremely stressed out, malnourished not taking care of myself. And I just wonder because I’ve been taking better care of myself lately I just wonder maybe my body is trying to give me another one? I really don’t know. I am so afraid that this pain is going to come back with a vengeance, your videos always make me feel better by the way…
Hi Annelien As this is prescribed medication you would need need to ask your pharmacist, sorry. They will have a list of all the known side effects so should be able to tell you. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi Periods skipping then coming back is a really common scenario as you start the approach to the menopause, so is usually nothing to worry about. This may go on for quite a while before periods stop for good, however, if you are worried then it is wise to seek medical advice Best Wishes Eileen
Hi Ayushi, As I mentioned there can be a number of reasons, especially in the first two years after periods have stopped. However, since it has been quite a while since you last had a period, it is wise to get a proper diagnosis from your doctor first, just to rule out fibroids, polyps/cysts or a prolapse Best Wishes Eileen
Hi Angela Although this can happen, it is wise just to check with your doctor first. They can rule out issues such as fibroids, polyps/cysts or even a prolpase which can be a factor. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi.. My period stopped when I was 38 for almost a year after that I started spotting n had my self checked.. I had fibroid which were removed. After that I only got a period once n then it's stopped again for 1 year 3 months.. Now suddenly gotten the period again ..what could be causing it? Ur response will b highly appreciated..
Hi Shabnam It is possible that your hormones are still fluctuating as you approach the menopause but the only way to know for sure is to see your doctor. They may be able to take a hormone test and that should indicate what may be happening at the moment. Fibroids can sometimes grow back so your doctor can also check to see if this is the case. Best Wishes Eileen

Hi Stephanie Many things can upset the monthly cycle at your age such as stress, excessive exercise, going on a diet, being ill or taking medication. All you can really do is keep a note of your next few periods to see if this keeps happening and if you are still worried then please do speak to your doctor. Best Wishes Eileen
I haven't had a period in 3 years this month. Now I have some bleeding and my uterus feels just like it did when I had regular periods. I'm kinda scared. I have an upcoming dr appt to talk about it. What kind of questions should I be asking?
Hi Melissa I would ask them if they know why this has happened, if not then say that you would like it investigated further. This can happen for various reasons but some doctors just dismiss it, however, it should be checked out thoroughly just to put your mind at rest. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi Laisa There can be many reasons for frequent periods such as stress, excessive exercise, going on a strict diet or even taking medications. I would just keep a record of your next few periods and if they continue to be frequent then it is best to see your doctor for a proper diagnosis. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi Agnes Periods stopping at your age can be caused by a number of factors such as pregnancy, stress, severe dieting or even being ill. If you are worried it is best to see your doctor as they can find out what’s going on for you.
Hi Carmen, sometimes changing periods can indicate that your hormones are changing slightly and in other cases it can just be a one off (diet, changes in exercise regimes, stress or medication, for example can all have an impact). As this has only happened the once, I’d recommend tracking your period over the next 3-4 months to help give us a better idea of what might be going on.
Hi This isn't so common after all this time so it is wise just to check with your doctor to rule out issues such as a prolapse, fibroids or polyps/cysts. Best Wishes Eileen

Hi Jasmine In the menopause, the vagina walls can become thin and brittle and this can often cause bleeding after intercourse. However, there could be other issues causing this such as a prolapse so it is wise to get this checked by your doctor just to rule it out. Best Wishes Eileen

Hi The best thing to do is see your doctor as they can refer you to a fertility specialist who can investigate this for you. They can test your hormone levels and that will indicate whether you can still conceive or whether you need treatment of some kind.
Hi Ruth There can be a number of reasons for this such as stress, being on a strict diet, doing lots of exercise or even other medication you may be taking from your doctor. As you are only 21, the only way you can find out what's happening is to see your doctor; they can test your hormones to see what's going on. Best Wishes Eileen
Pls kindly reply .my daughter birn 1978 not yet got married had first period she was 9 year old. Since then she has regular period after 28 days. Now last month she had period very little after 34 daya i want her period to not stop. I want her to get married. Otherwise she would be very upset already we are in problem as her father passed away 6 years before but she says he is not dead he is here imn others home. Do not say he is dead pls tell me can i give her premulent N. Kindly guide me help me. Over here thanks a lot bless you
Hi Zarine I think it would be best if your daughter saw her doctor; they can do sex hormone tests to see if she is approaching the menopause or whether there is another reason her periods are changing. Unfortunately, at this stage, over the counter remedies are unlikely to be potent enough to bring regular periods back, sorry. Best Wishes Eileen
My frustration with menopause is dealing with the time gaps mentally and emotionally. For 4 to 5 years I have been on and off with my period and going through hot flashes and all symptoms that come with it and I refuse any kind of medication for it b/c it is part of life and letting my body do it's thing naturally. My doctor told me that once you hit the 12 months of no periods I should no longer have one. Well, I have gone through 3 months, 4 months, 6 months without periods and counting the months when I hit that 12 month mark. I just hit 9 months without a period and yesterday I saw staining when I wiped after using the restroom. Thinking that it could be the cyst in my kidney I went looking for answers on the internet for information on kidneys. Today I have full blown bleeding and it's my period. All I want is for all this to end already. It really messes with my anxieties. Period symptoms always messes with my emotional state and my breast are always the one to get hit the hardest when I don't have a period cause they are constantly in a state of tenderness and then the period comes back and the breast seem to deflate and be normal. Very very weird!
Hi Marilyn This is a really common scenario on the approach to the menopause; many women find that it can be really drawn out with periods coming and going, sometimes for several years! Maybe look into acupuncture, this can often help with stabilising the hormones. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi i had not had a period for 1yr and 3 months then saturday just gone i got a period. It then slowed down and stopped next day same thing. This has been going on for 5 days now. Im wondering if this is abnormal?
Many women go without a period for months or even a year or so and then either get a single one back again or they restart for a few months. The one-off period or spate of periods is often caused by things such as a 'last fling' by your hormones, stress, illness, strenuous exercise, dieting, change of diet (especially if you improve it); however, it is best to get it checked out by your doctor as well.
I have a friend who is 70 years old.and hasn't had a period in 20 plus years...and she has started bleeding full force..I am her roommate and care giver..we have been to her obgyn..have gotten d+ c and ultra sound..everything normal no cancer..she is bleeding to the point she has become anemic.blood count around 7.2 Dr put her on iron pills 3 times a day with vitamin C for absorption..she has been bleeding for well over a year.. Period will stop a day or too..then starts back..not enough to build up blood count. .she has no energy and sleeps non stop..every time she moves she bleeds more.. ...HELP...please and thank you.
Is possible that when your. Comes back that you possibly can conceive my. Was off for 9 months it came back May and then June nothing for July is now August and I would like to be able to conceive just now turning 50 today and I would like to be able to conceive if at all possible I was wondering if you can do a video on that I don't want it to get too far where I have to take hormone therapy thank you for this video Happy Birthday to me😎😎🎂🎂🎂🍹🍸🍾🍵🍧
Hi Rev The only way you can tell if you can conceive would be to see your doctor; they can test your sex hormone levels to see if it is still possible to do naturally.
Actually, things can be even more interesting 🥰
2,5 years after my ‘last’ period I got pregnant(54) The pregnancy lasted only 5 weeks but treasured that short special time🙏 In the meantime, my friend (55) recently got period after 3 years ‘post menopause’. Checked by her doc, a completely normal period 😃

I haven’t had one in 18 months either and this past week. I’ve had some strange awful pain in my uterus. It’s different than your average cramps. It’s a bit more painful. Obviously I ovulated I think I had tender breasts that discharge and then soon after that stabbing pains in my right ovary, and then these awful pains in my uterus that I have never experienced calling my doctor tomorrow morning. This is also very scary to me. I’m 46 years old and I don’t know what this pain is.
I feel so much better after watching this video, THANK YOU !
So far this is the most helpful video. I haven't had a period in ten years but as soon as I went Keto it came back. Not bad and not often but still once in a while it'll show a little. I don't plan to see a doctor, where I live a good one is impossible to find. So I'm just researching to see what info I can find. Thanks for making this, it's the only one I've seen so far 👌💕

I had a period when I started keto as well. I have been on keto for about a year and a half and recently went off. I've been trying to get back on track over the last two days and I don't think keto works that quickly but I have one again. I'm not overly concerned because it feels like a proper peroid; I was emotional before and felt like crying for no reason, with breast tenderness, depression, happiness, craving sugar, something I never do since keto, even the slight peroid cramps. I'm thinking a more serious condition wouldn't have these familiar symptoms.
@@garnellwallace5594 Agreed👌. I had couple cycles that were heavier but still within reason as far a timing and symptoms. I'm not worried at all, only annoyed lol😅. I have however, been learning that keto for women will mess with hormones because of the constant release of cortisol. I'm actually on a protein priority program with a lady who is helping people get back their metabolism from keto damage. It definitely messed me up😭😭😭.
Thank you for this video. I haven't had a period in over a year. The last time I had spotting the blood test showed I wasn't in menopause . Because it's been over a year I thought I was finished but I recently had ovulation symptoms , cramps, breast tenderness and now a period. Im 53, I started to panic but your video eased my mind. I started exercising and eating healthy recently so this may be the cause. Thank you so much.

Thank you! I'm 48 and really needed this info. My period stopped for 79 days and I loved it. Then it came back with a vengeance and stayed coming back for one year. Then it stopped for 61 days of more heaven and I told myself it was never going to come back again.
Then I decided to quit weed and I was eating very healthy and very little. I think the big change in diet made it come back, but I don't really know.

Thank you for this video. I hadn’t had a period in a year and a half then about a month ago, I had cramps and breast were very tender. I told my husband that I feel like I was ovulating. Of course he was like “WHAT???!!!”. Then about two weeks later, yep had a period. I went to doctor and they did an ultrasound and they said all looked good and actually was surprised. She said “I guess it was a fluke”. I don’t like these flukes. Not wanting to start over with all this crap. 🙁It’s also been nice to see that I am not alone by all the comments.
Thanks so much please I want to ask can I still conceive after a gap of 13years?

I feel amazing but it never occurred to me that it could be the cause of a period coming back.

Under extreme stress it went away, then when the stress went away they came back. Then intermittent spotting. I asked my sister who's near 70 when it's over - she said "I'll tell you when it stops!" Going gluten-free might have changed it. Listen, this is all new ground because women in previous generations didn't talk about it or won't talk about it or didn't live that long for other reasons.
Yes, that's certainly true Dylan!

Hi again, thank you for responding to my comment below. I’m sorry I wasn’t clear. I don’t take HRT, I’m only taking natural Progesterone cream that helps with the hot flashes I started getting. It actually made them go away. So can I continue that or no? Also since I’m having a period again after 16 months, how do I gauge where I am in menopause? Do I have to wait another 12 months to be in menopause again? I’m just confused because I was always told after 12 months with no period I was in menopause. Thank you for everything!
You're welcome Holly!
Yes, it can all be very confusing! If you're finding the cream helpful then it's fine to continue for as long as it does so. There may come a point where hormones change and it may not so helpful then but just wait and see.
Some sources do say one year without periods but, in our experience, a lot of women like yourself can go a year or more then get one of more back. This is often due to a 'last fling' by the hormones but also wise just to check with your doctor too. We now say two years just to be on the safe side.

I started on the combined patches of 2 weeks oestrogen and 2 weeks progesterone whilst still having regular periods, then they naturally stopped. I've never stopped the HRT.

No other symptoms just heavy breasts, some hair loss. Please can you advise while I wait and wait for hospital appointment as I'm terrified I've got cancer

In our experience a number of women get periods back after a year or more and often due to the examples I give in the video.

This is happening to me right now. I’ve gone almost 17 months without and now I’m bleeding lightly with slight cramping. I’ve been taking progesterone because I thought I was in menopause. Do I have to start all over and go 12 months without again and stop the progesterone? Thank you!
Hi Holly, taking hormones will delay the menopause so you could still getting bleeds for as long as you are taking HRT. The 12 months is more a guidepost for women, but we generally find it can be two years because we a period often comes back between 12 and 24 months but when you are taking HRT natural menopause is delayed.
Thank you so much your videos are very helpful

What could be the reason of periods to first go on for a week and then after 4 days it started again? Asking for 47 years old woman.
So much bleeding is making them feel extremely weak. What could be the reason for periods to return again after 4 days?
Hi
Although frequent periods can be quite common on the approach to the menopause, they are not good for you and could cause anaemia; this in turn could trigger fatigue/weakness. It is important to get this checked by your doctor, they can test your iron levels and also make sure that other issues such as fibroids, polyps/cysts or a prolapse are not contributing to the bleeding.

This can happen and may be due to things such as a ‘last fling’ by your hormones, stress, excessive exercise, a sudden shock or even being ill. However, it is important to get this checked out by your doctor as well just to eliminate any underlying issues such as fibroids or a prolapse which could also trigger a bleed.

This may depend on why your periods stopped so young. If this was due to a medical condition, or excess stress or even anorexia, periods may return if general health improves.

Hello jenifer mam I'm 45 nd i had a little spoting after my period and then no period what shall i do for being pregnant
😞😓. I'm post menopausal. I recently went to a doctor though because I suddenly had a heavy bleeding. Well, the ultrasound spotted a blood clot and a cyst on my ovary. I'm scared because I had one ovary removed in an emergency operation due to a cyst (in my early 30s). I'm 46 btw. Also, my grandmother died from endometrial cancer. To be honest, I'm angry and depressed. I love children and I always wanted children. However I wasn't in the position to in life. And, people really hurt me in life... (people that diserve to be in jail, in my opinion.) They caused me a life of pain. And, they caused my position to not be okay to have children. I want so bad to move on. I was believing that my day will come! Things will all change and I can leave the past behind. Infact, I believe in miracles. I get so mad when people say well I could still adopt... they don't understand the pain nor the depth of my reasons for wanting a perfect ending to my life long hardships. I'm a really good person with a big heart. Everytime I see some 20 something with a baby....I have so much resentment and anger over the injustice. I'm a fool. I was delusional I guess.... trying everyday to have hope still. Believing so much that beyond the reality was a source or God on my side. I feel so let down! I 😭 feel like a fool who just needs to keep telling myself some tarrot card like b.s. just to get out of bed and keep going. But just hearing the doctors words, that I'm "definitely post menopausal...." Was I expecting some delirious fantasy delivery? That would shock me into a high? I'm so stupid. I have to hang onto delusions just to cope. I guess when I'm sixty... maybe someone will have to tell me it's time to face reality.

It is really important to get this checked out by your doctor first just to see why it has come back after so long.
Miriam Bingamon hi Miriam did you get checked and can I ask the outcome. Cause I’m going through this now. My dr scheduled me a biopsy for this Wednesday. I’m so afraid.
@@indiaindie9818 yes i got checked out, Dr says i hve endometriosis and im going to be scheduled for a hysterectomy.
Miriam Bingamon thank you so much I hope it all works out for you. And thank god it wasn’t anything worse.
What did u do
My mom is 57, her period stop 7 years ago but suddenly having periods last month and this month as well the bleeding is very little and no pain ....
Hope you reply me :) Im really worried
It is unusual for periods to start again after all this time so it is very important that your mom gets this checked by her doctor. There could be a number of reasons such as fibroids or a prolapse so a proper diagnosis is required first.

My situation “may” be even more unusual.
Mi got my first period at about the age of 12. Then nothing, for years. In my early 30s, when given a vaginal ultrasound, the doctor told me that I just had small ovaries, but prescribed Provera and I think I had 1 period. Then, no period, for the most part, for decades. I am now 58 and, where periods are concerned, have lived much like a man. No cramps, no periods really. When other women would talk about it, it was foreign to me.
Early April this year, had a normal period. Decent flow/7 days.
End of May, into June a period that started normal, but then didn’t end and got really heavy. Had to buy the NFL of Maxi pads, to get through the day. While bleed was probably about 14 days.
Go to the doctor, they do blood work. Tell me to take an iron pill. Get an abdominal and a trans vaginal ultrasound. Couldn’t image the left ovary, but except for a cyst on the right ovary, and Nabothean cysts on my cervix, the report stated nothing unusual, except for endometrium at 7mm. Could be wrong but, I think endometrial hyperplasia starts at 11mm.
Still, my doc is SUPER EXCITED about me going for an endometrial biopsy and a subsequent hysterectomy. It’s nice that SHE’s excited.
Like other women, in absolutely TERRIFIED! Because other than numbing of the cervix, there are no good stories about this procedure, as nothing else is given for the pain. Worst experience most women have had. Worse, if you’ve never had children, like myself.
I know I cannot diagnose myself and I’m taking a risk delaying, while I search for drugs to handle the pain. Also don’t want to be told that I’m overreacting to the pain.
That sounds horrendous! Is there any way you can get a second opinion just to make sure?
Hope all goes well for you.

Well, I’m here again, because mine started with a vengeance. this isn’t normal cramping this isn’t normal. I am thoroughly freaked out. I would’ve been 19 months exactly into menopause. My doctor even said I was even though I didn’t get a test done. I am so confused and I’m scared to death and I never imagined this happening, and the bleeding is pretty pretty darn heavy.
I’ve got to go out and get to the pharmacy today and I don’t even have any sanitary napkins. I have one tampon which I’m petrified to use because I don’t know what this pain is. This isn’t normal cramping. If it was normal cramping, I would think to myself OK maybe I fixed my body after a couple years of horrible stress and trauma But this isn’t normal whatever this is radiating down my left leg and has me thoroughly freaked out trying to get into the doctors. Well I can’t get until March so it’s looking like I’m gonna have to go to the emergency room to find out what is happening because I don’t know what else to do and I don’t have medical insurance and I’m legit scared.!
Although periods coming back after a year or more is actually quite common, we always advise seeking medical advice, especially if there is any pain. A number of issues could cause this as well as a hormonal shift, such as fibroids, polyps/cysts or even a prolapse so a proper diagnosis is vital to get the right treatment.
Best Wishes
Eileen,
What about women that start getting it every 2-3 weeks? But are told they’re in Peri.
Frequent periods are quite common in the perimenopause and can go on for quite a while before they start to tail off and stop

Sometimes, medication or a health issues can upset the hormones but if you're worried about this, please just check with your doctor. Hopefully, they'll put your mind at rest

Hi Nombulelo
Periods can come back for a variety of reasons as I mention in the vlog, however, if you've been without periods for more than 6 months then it is important to see your doctor about this.

Hi, I have missed 4 periods and I had started to excercise, I immediately started to have spotting. After about 3 days of spotting, I started to bleed a little. Is that also a process of stopping? Also does excercise affect the cycle? Is it recommended to hard core excercise through the journey of menopause?
Hi Sunitha, periods stopping and coming back is quite common in the approach to the menopause, and we suspect that changes in our diet or exercise regime can also be a common trigger for this. If you are worried at any stage you could go for a check up. Generally, I don’t recommend embarking on any hardcore exercise, this can become a stress to the body which could potentially exacerbate symptoms.
Btw the only real change was I cû down on alcahol..doing it with the NHS app ,
I'm joy im 58 Ms 4 periods then this month it appears I don't know if it's because I had to climb over a wall why it came back
Hi Clover
Missing periods then getting them back again is a really common scenario as you approach the menopause. The stopping/starting can go on for quite a while before periods stop for good!

I. Stopped. Bleeding. 2 yrs. and. Started. bleeding. all. Sudden. What’s. going. On
If bleeding comes back after 2 years we would recommend seeing your doctor.
I use to get hot flashes and missed periods now no more hot flashes and regular period. What's going on?
Hi Joan
If periods have come back that could indicate that the oestrogen level has risen and this can stop low oestrogen symptoms such as flushes. :)

Can you still get pregnant during this stage when periods come and go and come back?? Are you still at risk?? Thank you
In theory, yes, Maria, we advise taking precautions until you've not had any periods for two years, just to be safe.
@@AvogelCoUk o wow, well I still got my periods but I been noticing is changing for the past 3-4 months, we don’t use protection because my ob said at my age is very unlikely to get pregnant so not to worry about it 🤷🏻♀️
@@mariapizarrosath8147 that's really interesting, we tend to err on the side of caution!
@@AvogelCoUk well that’s good to know! Thank you!
I’m having some thing really strange things going on horrible uterine pains that are worse than menstrual cramps. I would be a year and a half into menopause. I’m 46 now… well I noticed this past week I had very sore breasts sore nipples and I was ovulating then comes this terrible pain that felt like it was in my uterus worse than period cramps, and I’m just wondering to myself what is happening? I’m calling my doctor first thing in the morning. I’m scared to death.
Over the past two years right before it just stopped I had been through some traumatizing things. I was extremely stressed out, malnourished not taking care of myself. And I just wonder because I’ve been taking better care of myself lately I just wonder maybe my body is trying to give me another one? I really don’t know. I am so afraid that this pain is going to come back with a vengeance, your videos always make me feel better by the way…
My period literally stopped after being normal for quite some time on the exact day of my birthday turning 45..
Yes, periods just stopping completely after being normal can happen for some women (me included!)

Yes, we often find that once someone starts to look after themselves better, periods can restart!
Please tell me,can Eythurox Tablets cause you to have periods again after a few years?
Hi Annelien
As this is prescribed medication you would need need to ask your pharmacist, sorry. They will have a list of all the known side effects so should be able to tell you.

Why is my period coming back after a couple of months why is this
Hi
Periods skipping then coming back is a really common scenario as you start the approach to the menopause, so is usually nothing to worry about. This may go on for quite a while before periods stop for good, however, if you are worried then it is wise to seek medical advice

I am 52 , i had my menopause around 4 years ago. But today i got blood. Should i be worried? Can uh please tell me the cause of this?
Hi Ayushi,
As I mentioned there can be a number of reasons, especially in the first two years after periods have stopped. However, since it has been quite a while since you last had a period, it is wise to get a proper diagnosis from your doctor first, just to rule out fibroids, polyps/cysts or a prolapse

I had no period for 3years and all of a sudden I started bleeding again. Literally maybe more then 3 years!
Hi Angela
Although this can happen, it is wise just to check with your doctor first. They can rule out issues such as fibroids, polyps/cysts or even a prolpase which can be a factor.

Hi.. My period stopped when I was 38 for almost a year after that I started spotting n had my self checked.. I had fibroid which were removed. After that I only got a period once n then it's stopped again for 1 year 3 months.. Now suddenly gotten the period again ..what could be causing it? Ur response will b highly appreciated..
Hi Shabnam
It is possible that your hormones are still fluctuating as you approach the menopause but the only way to know for sure is to see your doctor. They may be able to take a hormone test and that should indicate what may be happening at the moment.
Fibroids can sometimes grow back so your doctor can also check to see if this is the case.

Hi good afternoon.. My period came the 5 of November and it finish at 11th then it came back on the 19th of the same month am wondering if something is wrong with Me or its normal.. Am in my early 30s
Hi Stephanie
Many things can upset the monthly cycle at your age such as stress, excessive exercise, going on a diet, being ill or taking medication. All you can really do is keep a note of your next few periods to see if this keeps happening and if you are still worried then please do speak to your doctor.

I haven't had a period in 3 years this month. Now I have some bleeding and my uterus feels just like it did when I had regular periods. I'm kinda scared. I have an upcoming dr appt to talk about it. What kind of questions should I be asking?
Hi Melissa
I would ask them if they know why this has happened, if not then say that you would like it investigated further. This can happen for various reasons but some doctors just dismiss it, however, it should be checked out thoroughly just to put your mind at rest.

Hi Laisa
There can be many reasons for frequent periods such as stress, excessive exercise, going on a strict diet or even taking medications. I would just keep a record of your next few periods and if they continue to be frequent then it is best to see your doctor for a proper diagnosis.

Periods stopping at your age can be caused by a number of factors such as pregnancy, stress, severe dieting or even being ill. If you are worried it is best to see your doctor as they can find out what’s going on for you.
My missing period is 4 days but after 4 days periods came what should I do
Hi
Do you mean your period was missing for only for days or four years? Thanks
I’m 37yrs old & I just got a second period twice in a month, is this normal? (First time)
Hi Carmen, sometimes changing periods can indicate that your hormones are changing slightly and in other cases it can just be a one off (diet, changes in exercise regimes, stress or medication, for example can all have an impact). As this has only happened the once, I’d recommend tracking your period over the next 3-4 months to help give us a better idea of what might be going on.
I am post menopause had a bit of brown standing no discharge
Maybe best to get this checked by your doctor first Patricia, just to rule out any infection or other issues such as fibroids.

If you are flooding like this it is vital to see your doctor or go to A&E, they should be able to give you something to stop the bleeding.
My question is I’m 51 and still getting my period … my gyn told me last office visit that I was in menopause after doing a hormonal blood test and because my period had been gone for quite some time .. but now I’ve been noticing that it comes on a lot lately after intercourse I was wondering is this something that I should be concerned about … don’t wanna get too graphic but it’s not heavy when this happens just annoying and it seems to be “ Old blood “ dark in color
I’d really like to know what u think
Hi Jasmine
In the menopause, the vagina walls can become thin and brittle and this can often cause bleeding after intercourse. However, there could be other issues causing this such as a prolapse so it is wise to get this checked by your doctor just to rule it out.

Or do l need assistance though IVF?? Please can you help, l so much want a baby and don't know what to do.
Hi
The best thing to do is see your doctor as they can refer you to a fertility specialist who can investigate this for you. They can test your hormone levels and that will indicate whether you can still conceive or whether you need treatment of some kind.
Please I need your help, I have not see my period in one year now😭😭😭😭
I am just 21 years old now
I not know what to do
Hi Ruth
There can be a number of reasons for this such as stress, being on a strict diet, doing lots of exercise or even other medication you may be taking from your doctor. As you are only 21, the only way you can find out what's happening is to see your doctor; they can test your hormones to see what's going on.

Pls kindly reply .my daughter birn 1978 not yet got married had first period she was 9 year old. Since then she has regular period after 28 days.

Do not say he is dead pls tell me can i give her premulent N. Kindly guide me help me. Over here thanks a lot bless you
Hi Zarine
I think it would be best if your daughter saw her doctor; they can do sex hormone tests to see if she is approaching the menopause or whether there is another reason her periods are changing. Unfortunately, at this stage, over the counter remedies are unlikely to be potent enough to bring regular periods back, sorry.

My frustration with menopause is dealing with the time gaps mentally and emotionally. For 4 to 5 years I have been on and off with my period and going through hot flashes and all symptoms that come with it and I refuse any kind of medication for it b/c it is part of life and letting my body do it's thing naturally. My doctor told me that once you hit the 12 months of no periods I should no longer have one. Well, I have gone through 3 months, 4 months, 6 months without periods and counting the months when I hit that 12 month mark. I just hit 9 months without a period and yesterday I saw staining when I wiped after using the restroom. Thinking that it could be the cyst in my kidney I went looking for answers on the internet for information on kidneys. Today I have full blown bleeding and it's my period. All I want is for all this to end already. It really messes with my anxieties. Period symptoms always messes with my emotional state and my breast are always the one to get hit the hardest when I don't have a period cause they are constantly in a state of tenderness and then the period comes back and the breast seem to deflate and be normal. Very very weird!
Hi Marilyn
This is a really common scenario on the approach to the menopause; many women find that it can be really drawn out with periods coming and going, sometimes for several years! Maybe look into acupuncture, this can often help with stabilising the hormones.

Hi i had not had a period for 1yr and 3 months then saturday just gone i got a period. It then slowed down and stopped next day same thing. This has been going on for 5 days now. Im wondering if this is abnormal?
Many women go without a period for months or even a year or so and then either get a single one back again or they restart for a few months. The one-off period or spate of periods is often caused by things such as a 'last fling' by your hormones, stress, illness, strenuous exercise, dieting, change of diet (especially if you improve it); however, it is best to get it checked out by your doctor as well.

Hi Rev
The only way you can tell if you can conceive would be to see your doctor; they can test your sex hormone levels to see if it is still possible to do naturally.
You are a critical thinker, seems most healthcare professionals have lost that.
