I'm 48 1/2 years old. I'm still on the pill (Mircette), which I've taken continuously for years with a break every 3-4 months due to endrometrios issues. I've notice that my periods are light to non-existent this past year, so I switched to the monthly plan to check what happens on a monthly basis. I only get a period for one day. That's it. And it's always the same day. This has happened three months in a row now. (I use to get a very, very light period for three days.) I know the pill will cause a period, but only one day? Is that an indication that I might actually be menopausal? I've had night sweats and hot flashes for over a year, maybe two. I'm currently uemployed so I don't have health coverage which leaves out a test from a doctor. I'm going to take a break from the pill for two months to see what happens, (and to save money), but how can I tell, after being on the pill for so long, if I am truly menopausal?
