Just wondering how many are still having periods heading towards 55? I've had definite changes to my cycle over last 5 years, for 2 years it was one blip of a 2 month gap followed by a heavy flooding one and then straight back into normal cycle again for most of the year. Everything checked out thoroughly as had a time of endometrial hyperplasia and all was OK. Then it settled and gap started increasing and periods were normal again and now it's sometimes 2-3 months between them or 6-7 weeks! Hoping the pesky things would have given up the ghost by now! Overall I feel like my hormones are no longer doing the hokey cokey as my moods feel much more steady but my system is apparently still producing eggs? :D ???

Mine came and went for 2-3 years prior to stopping. As I was dealing with a lot of stress I didn't really notice ...... took it as 'normal for me for my age' ::)

I am 56 and still having light periods every few weeks. You are not alone! There are a few of us here on this thread which I should rename Late Menopause! http://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,31902.0.html

My mims periods stopped at 54 dreadful VA.
My Va started at 46 now 50 , and my FSH levels are that of a young women, no rhyme or reason, are cards are dealt when we are conceived I think.

Hello Mary1962.
I think I qualify as a late finisher as the last hint of a period was a few days before my 54th birthday and prior to that they had been regular and heavy.
I've also read that there are advantages to having a late menopause. It seems we are more likely to live into our nineties though the way I feel atm I'd struggle to find anyone willing to put up with me for that long!
Take care.
