Q. im 50 years old, and i am getting irregular periods. My period hasn't stopped for 2 months. its been on off and on off. is this regular? is this a sign of periods for me about to end permanently for my entire life? is this a menopause?
A. You need to see a doctor. You're probably bleeding either due to a problem, or else you are perimenopausal. This is the time before menopause when you have irregular hormones and irregular periods as your ovaries sputter and stop working. Average age of menopause is 51, so you're likely right on target. Yet you ALWAYS have to get something checked out when you have weird bleeding like that.
Can the symptoms of menopause start in your early thirties?

I AM going through menopause, as I'm 47. One of the most important things a menopausal woman can do? Cut back her calories dramatically and focus on healthy eating. Horrible advice, when you've lived almost 50 years you'd think you'd be allowed to eat all the chocolate you want.

Is it possible to be starting menopause and all of the hormonal lab work turn out negative?
Q. My mom is 49 years old and has been having sudden anxiety/depression. She describes what sounds to be like a hot flash combined with sudden anxiety and panic. She went to the MD and was tested for elevated estrogen/progesterone/luteinizing hormone, but all were within normal limits. IS it possible to be starting menopause without having elevated hormones?
A. Yes that is precisely what happened to me - my results looked fine. The blood tests give normal results based on the average person. However each individual has different hormonal requirements. My specialist put me on a very small dose of estradiol, progesterone and testosterone and my symptoms vanished.
