I have not had a period in 6 months, and have only had two in the past year. Does this mean I am in the menopause?

Missing periods is one of the main pointers that you are approaching the menopause. You may want to consider what other menopausal symptoms you are experiencing, to give you an indication of what is happening.

You can also visit your GP as they can test your hormone levels to determine whether you are approaching or already in the menopause.
