Hi, I turn 56 in october. Stopped period at 48. 6 yrs. later started to bleed for 20 days. all tests done negative. Friday started to menstruate, all signs of normal period(appetite,swolleness, dry skin) Never been on hormonal treatment. I will give till next Thursday and then see dr. dont get to much worried. but its true the dr.s making a lot of fuzz. regards renate
