Perimenopause: A 48 y/o woman who misses her period for 34 days with negative pregnancy tests in all likelihood is approaching menopause. She may want to be prepared for an extended menstrual period 2 - 3 weeks next time she comes on her period. It may be prudent to consult with a gynecologist to discuss if hormonal medication may help to regulate cycles.

Perimenopause: As you approach actual menopause, you can have months where you don't ovulate and don't have a period at the regular time. You can also still get pregnant but since your test was negative, this is less likely. Best wishes!

Perimenopause: The most common reason for this in the 40's would be perimenopause. During this phase, menses becomes irregular as the ovaries become less functional. Complete menopause usually occurs in a few years, indicated by absence of menses for a year and usually accompanied by the other symptoms of menopause (hot flashes, etc.). Other medical conditions could also be causing this so talk to your doctor
