Make sure you are not pregnant. In I’d 40,s many woman start to skip ovulation leading to irregular periods. yes - “ perimenopause”. Age of menopause can be genetic and related to lifestyle. From now on it can take another 8-10 years to reach menopause (12 months no menses).Continue healthy lifestyle, healthy nutrition - rich in calcium, take Vitamin D. Annual physical exams.

It is likely that you are perimenopausal. If you have sex and miss a period, do a home pregnancy test. Use contraceptives for one year after your last period. You may wish to consult a gynecologist who may be able to help with menopausal symptoms. Wish you good health!
