Yes, it's still quite possible for your body to return to periods again. Many womenWomen's way have a higher FSH level reading (hormones constantly fluctuate so, one reading does not necessarily tell a full story) and go back to having periods. You may be done but, you may also not have another period.
It's likely that you will go back to having another period or even cycling again for awhile. Most of us just don't stop instantly. We often go through many cycles of "adjustmentAdjustment disorder" where we'll get regularRegular insulin periods, then it will become heavier, lighter, closer together, further apart, skipping periods for sometimes, months at a time etc., then go back to cycling again, then stop. But, you may also not go back into a period again.
The only thing that you can do is to wait it out and see what happens. Once you've gone 12 full months without a period or bleeding, you are considered "Menopausal". Until you've hit that 12 month mark, you are still considered Perimenopausal where anything is possible. :)
