Maybe you weren't in total menopause yet. I just turned 50, and I'm getting

my period about every 4 months now, on average, but there was one time when I

went 6 months, then other times when it was every other month. My Mom told

me this went on for years with her. At " only " 51, this just may be what's

happening. I go for my TT and butt lipo on 11/19, so we'll see how that

affects my periods...ugh! Just try not to worry until you know there's

really something to worry about, you're still at that transition age.

Good luck,

Help All: Just got the surprise of my life yesterday. Am 51, did not

have a period for almost 1.5 yrs pre WLS, & ( have not had my period

in 2.5 years.) WLS Sept. 01, and TT/LBL July 02. Have lost a total of

101lbs. I had a bit of discomfort, felt like 'ovulating' (almost

forgot what that felt like!) over two weeks ago. I went to the Gyn,

and she said my uterus was swollen, sonogram scheduled for next week.

Then...I get my period yesterday!!!

Am scheduled for an endometrial biopsy next

tues & sonogram next wed. I've heard a lot about the excess estrogen

released after large weight losses, plus the reconstructive surgery &

panni removal. Would like to know if anyone has, or has heard of

anyone getting a 'period' after menopause?

Of course, my thinking is wandering towards real scary diagnoses'.

And....now that I've lost all my weight, am a size 8, am feeling,

geez, sure.....now that you're where you want to be in life, you get

this major mess to deal with!! Help!
