Women, is this normal?

I was on a medication that stopped my periods for over a year. I got my cycle back again. Of late, since December, I have been under a lot of stress and I barely menstruated in December. Now it is the end of January and I still have not gotten a cycle. I have very bad cramps, sore breasts, I have been hormonal and tearful and very sensitive. I am 41 going on 42, it is possible I could be going through pre- menopause?

PS I am not able to have kids so I know I am NOT pregnant.

    Yes, you could be beginning menopause. That was around the time my mom first started showing signs that she was going through the change - but she never complained of sore breasts. She does get hot flashes and her periods are irregular, and maybe she's a little irritable lol. But also, your hormones are trying to get back on track now that you've stopped the medication, so a lot of it probably has to do with that. It'll take awhile for your hormone level to return to its normal track. My mom visited her doctor whenever she thought she was beginning menopause, so maybe you should set up an appointment and see what the doctors say.

    If you are worried about it you should go and see your doctor to get a proper diagnosis as opposed to an internet one. It may be nothing, but it wont hurt to go and ask a professional

    Good luck!
