Menopause Weight Gain Burn

why is my period 3 months late?

Hello,I;am 45 years old and missed 2 periods then on the third month I spotted just one time and then nothing,I skipped another one after that,so it makes 3 I have missed. I have gained a little weight,and for some reason I keep getting these skipped heart beats. I know I can't be pregnant cause I had a tubal 26 years ago. They said they cut them and burnt them on the ends. I also had a bad discharge that's cleared up good. When I ask the doctor about my missed period,well at the time of my appointment I was one month late,she told me its just might be menopause and never checked it out,and for the discharge she said it to was just from menopause and gave me 7 days worth of pills that you take 3 times a day that was to clear it up and tells me most women get this discharge with menopause and even with the 7 Day Supply of medicine it a lot of times comes back in 90 days. I just don't think its because of pregnancy! What could it be menopause?

Most women reach menopause somewhere between the ages of 48 and 55, the average being around 51 to 52 years. Early menopause before the age of 40 is called 'premature' menopause.

As you approach menopause, the production of hormones (i.e. oestrogen) by the ovaries starts to slow down. As this process accelerates, hormone levels fluctuate more and often a woman notices changes in her menstrual cycle.

* Cycles may become longer, shorter or totally irregular
* Bleeding may become lighter
* Bleeding may become unpredictable and heavy

Eventually the hormone levels will fall to a level where menstruation (periods) will cease altogether and menopause is reached. Contraception is needed until you have had one year without a natural period.
