Does Missed Periods And Negative Pregnancy Test Indicates Beginning Of Menopause?
I am 48 years old and have not had a monthly cycle since December 2013. I have taken 3 home pregnancy tests which have all come up negative. Could I be in the beginning stages of menopause? I can only recall one or two days when I felt moody but when I got hold of myself rationalizing that this could be the case and I need to watch the way I react to things, I haven't had anymore trouble. No hot flashes, not trouble sleeping at night (actually, I'm exhausted it seems). I also crave things that aren't normal for me such as pomagranite juice, lots of milk, asparagus.... Any help here?

Hi,
It is likely that you are experiencing symptoms of menopause. In the subsequent cycles it can be confirmed. Hormone replacement therapy can be given in case of hot flashes and other symptoms. Meanwhile complete blood hemogram, thyroid test and abdominal ultrasound can be taken for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
