Oh no! I feel like I have been having symptoms forever myself. I'm sorry your Aunt came back.

Not really sure. I'd been on BCPs for so many years, it masked any symptoms. I'd guess around 51. That was when my mother did.

My experience was quite the opposite. I had been having heavier and heavier periods and at age 52, I had one that went into my 53d birthday. I was seeing the OB/GYN daily for blood checks or ultrasounds. I had something like polycythemia so the blood loss only generated more blood for me but at some point that was bound to turn itself around and become blood-loss anemia.
So, after having 13 weeks straight weeks of bleeding and seeing a doctor, I opted to have a hysterectomy (we kept thinking the bleeding would stop and never return). The bleeding only continued so at 53, I was castrated. I had been having night sweats for years but that was mostly due to the polycythemia, not menopause.

I hope you have seen a doctor about the return of your periods.

@Nonametoday Yes, my doctor knows. There is nothing abmormal happening, I am just not in menopause yet.

34. Periods became light and irregular, has my hormones checked, and low and behold, I was in peri-menopause. I had a few hot flashes, and then that was it.

Consider yourself lucky @Lali1 that you're 'still waiting'.
For me, I was 40 when I the signs started. I'm now 68 and I still have hot flashes on & off. It isn't fun, quite annoying in fact. Once they start they never stop. True statement!!!

A week after my 50th birthday was my last cycle. It's been 14 glorious years I'll tell ya!
A bit of hot flashes in my late 40's, and more moody than anything but it was pretty smooth sailing for me.

56 years old...no hot flashes at all.

Late 40's for me is when I started, no more periods, and now at 62 I get the occasional Hot Flash....I remember the irritability the most, as well as the hot flashes, but luckily I didn't suffer from night sweats!
