I have been either on the pill or the patch for 30 years except when I was trying to conceive. I went off of the patch about 6 weeks ago because of heart arrythmia. I haven't had a period yet. Is this just normal when your body is trying to readjust?
If you body is trying to normally go through menopause but you're on a synthetic estrogen (the patch) what does your body do? Does the pill prevent menopause? I have been having night sweats and hot flashes for over a year now but nothing too serious. Because I have been on the patch, I only have periods every 3 months so I haven't really noticed anything different about them until this month.
I know this is a lot of ? and I thank you for your answers in advance. I also know that I should be talking to my Dr. about this, so you really needn't bother telling me I should do that. Thanks.

1. It is normal to have an adjustment to your changing hormones
2. Your body will go through menopause when it's time regardless of your patch being on.
3. Everything you're going through is normal. We all go through this a little differently from each other. Don't worry if your menopause is different from someone elses.
This too shall pass.

You'd better read Suzanne Somers new book.
30 years is a looonnng time to be on the pill.
