Thank you. Any help would be SOOOO appreciated. I am at a complete loss! One thing I know, I am certainly an anomaly... or just abnormal! I have logged my period since 2016, maybe even before. It has been heavy my entire life, but more so in the last few years. One Tampon and 1 pad every hour on day 2 and 3. After that it tapers down lasting a total of 6 days max. It's always been every 28 ( +/_ 2 days). I may miss a month and maybe even 2 or 3 months, but when you add the total days since my last period and divide by 28 it's always 28 (+/_2) per month. No symptoms of menopause at al! Am I lucky? or crazy?
I mean what 59 year old has never had a hot flash! Someone has to know something about this.......I hope

@cwms I see your post is from 2019. Are you still experiencing periods? I was 59 at the same time as you and going through the same thing. Tests showed nothing except possible small fibroid/cyst. Stripe was thickness of a menstruating female and ovaries appeared normal. I am 66 now and still have tiny periods (more like a smudge) getting closer together, every 2-4 days. No menopause symptoms yet. I feel like I am an anomaly as well. I read late onset menopause could be related to a lifetime of Mediterranean diet, which I have always had. I also read that there is no 'normal' age for menopause. Everyone is different. I read of a woman of 70 still going through it. I also have had surgery at 32 for endometriosis. Not sure if that has any bearing on the situation.
