Brief Answer:
Perimenopausal
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You are more than likely over your cycles. But we can not truly know. Most women at age 55 have finished and are menopausal. But from what you have recorded more than likely you have finished.
Menopause is when the ovaries stop making estrogen and progesterone. Without the hormones your uterus cannot develop a lining and have your monthly cycles. You also no longer make eggs and can't get pregnant
I hope I answered your question. If you have any additional questions please contact us again
