Age "46" is generally accompanied with delays in ovulation, which will create delays in menstruation. Whether ovulation occurs or not, longer exposure to higher estrogen levels will cause thickened lining with heavier bleeding with menstruation, or with spontaneous breakdown of uterine lining. Ask your gyn about low dose oral bcp's, which stop ovarian hormone production.

AFter a pause in menstrual periods, the next cycle may be light, the same, or heavy. It may last a day or two longer than your usual menstrual cycle. You should treat this cycle as usual unless you feel unwell, dizzy, lightheaded or pale. If bleeding persists, please contact your doctor or gynecologist.
