Suzi Q, I hope the reason the over 50s have left is because they felt better!
I'm experiencing a late menopause myself. I'm 54 and had my last period in August. I hope it was the last one, because I'm so over the hormonal roller coaster ride. I'll be 55 in December.
Believe it or not, my gynecologist said to me, "You know most women have had their last period at 50-51, don't you?" As if I had any control over my still cycling ovaries!! I know there can't possibly be any eggs in there to push out, but they keep trying. My gyne also said I'll be having a scan and possible biopsy at my next appt. I'm just praying that my twitchy ovaries are not causing my endometrium to thicken.
