    Default Periods after 55!

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    Yes, I will be 56 next month and I am still getting regular periods, around every 30 days. Although, I have kept my gyne informed of this, it wasn't until a few weeks ago that she sent up a red flag about it. Now, I am very nervous that something could be wrong because she thinks I should be tested. Anyone out there still getting their periods into their 50's?

    I don't think it's anything to worry about, as long as you are healthy. Everyone is different and there are no hard and fast rules on this. The number one killer of women is heart disease and the longer you menstrate, the lower your risk.
