Hi,
I am 61 and had last period 18 months ago.
However, I have been having, slight spotting up to approx 7 months ago. I really do believe that the "spotting" was a period - I got all the premenstrual symptoms, and the time- line was roughly every 4,5,6 wks.
Interesting, I was taking bioidentical hormones- Progesterone, Oestrogen, Testosterone and ACTH..... (from a private Menopause Clinic) ...Initially I had a blood test ( damn exspensive) and was told that I still had some Oestrogen and that was why I was still having periods?? ****
I have now given up the private prescription I cannnot afford it, and, realize that I can get near enough natural bioidentical hormones from my GP.
The problem is that now I have stopped the private prescription I am going through hell! My next app to discuss HRT is in 2 half wks!!!
**I interesting, I too have M.E, allergies, underactive Thyroid, Adrenal fatigue and B12 deficiency. ## I have very severe depression and Anxiety.....
The Anxiety definitely brought on with Perimenopause/Menopause.
My GP stated, that at 57,58,59,60 yrs that no way I should still be going through the Menopause!! ### So helpful......
Kind Regards,
Ollybear
