I've only had one period in the past two years but my doctors say that because I am only 44 years old, that I will have to wait another two years before I can claim to be post-menopausal. Is this true?

You are considered through the menopause when you have not had a period for two years so they are correct, even if you go a year and a half then have a period you have to start counting all over again!
