Hi ladies, hope you don't mind me joining you all. I'm 55 and still having periods, although i did have a a very long gap last year. After speaking to my doctor, we decided that it would be best if i went and had myself checked over. After a full blown MOT and follow up appointment with a lovely chap, i came away with the feeling that "it will end when it ends".
He answered all of my questions, explained to me all of the benefits of a late menopause, and to be honest, i couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Since the long gap, my periods seem to be getting a little lighter, but i have noticed an increase in my migraines and i appear to have developed the skin of a teenager.
I get one or two really big spots arrive on my chin a few days before my period starts, which highly amuses my teenage daughter, who, for the moment is spot free, but boy can she slam a door. My poor DH must feel like he is living in hormone hell sometimes, although he works evening/nights, so isn't around too much to hear all the drama.
Looking forward to hopefully finishing this journey with you all!
