Hi:

I am 43 years old and have been with my fiancee for some time now. We are getting married next month but now I have a question that I am not sure about. I have not had my period since January 23rd. I have in the past missed it on ocassion but I have this feeling that something else is going on. I already have two grown children and knowing what it is like to be pregnant but each pregnancy was different. Fiancee says it is menopause but I think I am too young but not sure. Could I be pregnant? Not sure. Waiting to see if period comes this week as I am now 54 days late. Has anyone experienced not getting a period for a number of months and it is normal? Don't have a family doctor and haven't had the guts to do a pregnany test yet. Not sure fiancee would be excited about it if I was. Scared but excited if I was. Just looking for info from anyone.

It could be menopause. My mom started to have irregular periods at about 40 or 41, peri-menopause. You could take a pregnancy test just to see. Hopefully someone else will have a better answer for you.
