I`m 46 years old. I started having really heavy periods,about a year ago, where I had to use pads and tampons, not normal for me. In the last 4 months my periods have been coming late. Last month my period was 5 weeks late, in this time I went in for a phsyical and all my tests came back OK and I`m not in premenopause. I finally had a period and now it is due again and once again it`s not here. I am really concerned. My periods were always clockwork and this is driving me crazy cause I`m thinking the worst. My Aunt died from uterin cancer. Should I see another doctor, am I panicing for no reason?:(

I don't know what test they run to see if you are going through perimenoupause, but that's what it sounds like to me. If you are concerned then by all means see another doctor, you have a right to a second opinion.

Good luck.
