Late cycle: At 49 y/o, your conception risks are small. It is more likely that a missed cycle may be a perimenopausal associated phenomenon. Other early menopausal changes may include irregular cycle, irregular bleeding, hot flashes, sweating at random times, irritability, sleep disruption, and more. Average age of menopause is 51, but your family history is a good predictor.
