Hi I am 45
I was hoping someone could help me.
I have a 29 day cycle,it's like clock work every month.
This cycle is very off. 7 day before my period was due i had some very light pink and brown discharge. It only was a little and just the 1 day. I also had light cramps that 1 day. I thought my period was coming very early. It didn't.
Now I am 5 days late. Very light cramps, clear stringy discharge( like when you ovulate) could it be menopouse?
I'm never late.Any thoughts?

Well, I suppose it is possible that it could be the start of menopause at your age. However, it is also could be a simple irregular period brought on by stress or a normal hormone fluctuation. I would say to give it some time. Se how the next month goes. If it keeps acting wierd, then go see your doctor to find out if it could be menopause or if you are just having irregular periods (very common in most women).

help, no period and very confused

Ok thanks
I have never had an irregular period before,but I guess there is a first time. I have read about a home menopause test.
Do you know if they work?

I have heard that they are not 100% reliable. I was told by a doctor that if you don't use the test at just the right time of month, you won't get the right answer. She said that you would be much better off going in and getting tested by the doctor. So I am not sure what else to tell you on that.
