Hi all,

I am 52 and had my last period 2 years 2 months ago, I do have other unrelated health issues however unlike some of you ladies I sailed through my menopause- no problems at all.

However, the last couple of weeks I have had very swollen, tender breasts with uncomfortable nipples: and slightly bloated abdomen, I also feel like I'm going to have a period but clearly nothing has happened.

Anyone else had the same? Or any explanation

Slightly troubled
Caroline

Hi Carolineanne

Snap!! I am also 52 and my last period was just over two years ago and my breasts keep doing the tender thing like I used to get just before a period. This is about the third month in a row it has happened but no bleed so far. I think Stellajane must be right, it must be our hormones having a final fling (s).

Good to know I'm not the only one with this happening.

Yep.  HORMONES.  I get various tenderness in the breasts as well as feelings like background 'period pains' and think 'oh not again' - last period in 2002

This us really interesting. I wonder how many others on this forum have cyclical tender breasts years after their last period?

The reason I ask is because all the medical sites I have looked at seem to state quite categorically that this doesn't happen post meno. Obviously written by men!!!!

Hormones alter every day throughout 24 hours  …….. regardless of what anyone tells us
