Just stopped
by: melissa

I am 44 and have missed almost 3 periods now. Been to the Doctor 3 times and all they can say is I'm not pregnant and that my hormones are in the normal range. I don't know what to do now. I would say keep searching until you find a reasonable answer. Because you don't just quit having a period for no reason. Good Luck!

they can stop and start and change...

The menstrual cycle could typically last shorter, as periods get irregular and occur more often than the usual 28 days. The involved bleeding could last several days or fewer compared to your regular flow. Otherwise, the flow could possibly be lighter, heavier, or it could be just spotting. Before you get into actual menopause, you could also experience skip in periods
