                        I am going on 52 this month and am in menopause.  If you haven't already, you should see a gynecologist and have a blood test done to determine if you really are in monopause.  There could also be something else causing the cesation of your periods.  When I hit in my late 30's, I went into what is called perimenopause which can affect your peiods.  See a doctor!
