female only menopause

[gone 4 ever 6]

O.K. I haven't had a period in almost 5 years. Thought nenopause. Even the my Dr. thought same thing....Well last month I bled a little on 1 pad. Today I have had mild cramps and have bled freely all day. Any one else have this problem?

I would think that you should call the dr. about this.

You are in menopause when you have gone one year without a period. I don't know what would cause you to have one after going so long without one.

I seen the Dr. on Monday. He said that fat stores estrogen. When you gain it can give you a false menopause. But my reg. Dr. ran blood work on me yrs. ago. I am in menopause. So the thought I have is that I am releaseing what has been stored. I will have to visit my reg. Dr. if this continues. Thanks for answering my post.
