Can periods just stop at 49?

Menopause is the time that marks the end of your menstrual cycles. It's diagnosed after you've gone 12 months without a menstrual period. Menopause can happen in your 40s or 50s, but the average age is 51 in India.

  1. Menopause Timing:

    • Stopping periods around age 49 is common and often indicates the onset of menopause.
    • Menopause typically occurs between ages 45 and 55.
  2. Symptoms:

    • You may experience hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, or sleep disturbances.
  3. Health Monitoring:

    • Regular health check-ups are important to manage symptoms and monitor bone and heart health.

If periods stop suddenly or unusual symptoms occur, consult a healthcare provider to rule out other causes. Stopping periods at this age is a natural part of aging for women.

I've been trying to figure out what's going on. I had a miscarriage back in December 2014, and my doctor mentioned it was due to a viral infection with terms like cytomegalovirus and Rubella igG coming up, and something about HSV 12 igG too. After a TORCH profile test, my gyno told me to wait six months before trying again, but it's been eight months now, and I still can't get pregnant despite following all the doctor's instructions. I'm feeling pretty worried and wondering what steps I should take next. Any advice on what I might be missing?

Consider a follow-up appointment with your gynecologist to reassess your fertility and discuss further testing, such as ovulation tracking, semen analysis, and hormonal evaluations, to identify potential underlying causes for delayed conception; also, ask about additional blood tests to check for immunity to cytomegalovirus and other infections, and explore options like fertility supplements, lifestyle modifications, or fertility treatments like IUI or IVF.

I'm a bit concerned because I've been taking Folligrow tablets for my hair for about two weeks, and my period, which was due on March 1st, still hasn't started. I'm wondering if taking Folligrow might be causing this delay. Could the tablets be affecting my menstrual cycle?
