I'm 45 years old, I've always had periods every 28 days, now here reciently it's been every 18 to 20 days. Is that a sign of menopause, or maybe something else?

Hi sweetie I am a women of 52 yrs. and I'll bet it is exactly what you suspect . That is the way I started and like you it scared me too . I know most of us don't like to go to the OBGYN however it would be very smart if you did. Just think Depending on the person in as soon as a few months you could be period free FOR LIFE ! Like I hinted at it may be longer but it is coming. Keep in touch with other women though because the MOOD SWINGS & HOT FLASHES come from hell . I had no idea what hit me either Good luck .

yep the bad news is that it can go on for 10 years like that with heavier and irregular periods and hot flashes of course. If you have stress incontinence (peeing when you sneeze) you can get that fixed and have a hysterectomy along with the surgery and take care of that little problem. I had that done and they only took my uterus.Its great to not have the monthly thing anymore.

Check with your Doc. It could be a hormone imbalance or peri-menopause. A simple blood test can tell. Good luck!

It could be menopause but you should feel moody, depressed, hot flashes and irritated. The "menses" should be shorter (spotty). Best wishes!

Could be something else. Go to a doctor because if it is something else early detection is the best method of treatment.

There is a blood test that you can get at your gyn that can determine if you are in menopause or not
