early menopause?
5 Answers
I am 41 and not had a period for 10 weeks. Usually a short cycle of 3 wks or less. Feel ok but could this be the start of the menopause? I am healthy and eat well, not over or underweight or on any medication etc. What are the other signs/symtoms? Partner had vasectomy 11 yrs ago so know I'm not preggers!

I would certainly have a pregnancy test just in case, it has been known for people to get pregnant despite their partner having a vasectomy !! Best thing is to have a blood test and then it will show your hormone levels and tell you if you are heading into the menopause.
I am 56 years old and for the last 3 years I have had 1 period a year which lasts for approx 4 weeks, it's very heavy with lots of blood clots, I have no others symptoms to suggest that I am going through the menopause but it affects everyone differently so if it isn't bothering you then don't worry about it but have a check up just to reassure yourself. By the way I have just finished my latest period last weekend which is good because I go on holiday on monday. all the best.
