There is no history of early menopause hence my concerns. My mothers
premenopause started with missing one month then having two periods near
one another. I have made an appointment to see my doctor however the
appointment is not until next week. Obviously we are all different, but
I expected to have a period this month, and as this has not happened I
decided to get a medical opinion to be on the safe side. Will let you
know what she says.
