Question:-I’m 52  and  pre menopausal. I missed my last period and wondered if I can expect one any time or will wait for the next monthly cycle.

Reply:- Keep a note of the last period, menstrual pattens vary between Abrupt ending, Gradual ending, or irregular bleeding, heavier or lighter The gradual ending is more common,  periods become shorter less frequent or even missed.

A form of contraceptive should be used for up to 2 years after your last period
