>Sorry that I didn't include more information. My Estradiol was 0.1 and FSH was 34. The blood test was done on 4/29. In Jan. I got no period. In Feb. I bled most of the month but it was very light. In March I got my period at the normal time but it lasted 10 days instead of the normal 5. In April I got no period and had the blood test done. I have since gotten a very light period starting 5/16 and still going. I am 42, my mother went into menopause at 51 but my sister had an early menopause at 40. Am I heading in her direction or could something else cause this?
