I have been reading alto on menopause because I had short flushes of heat and then freezing and what I learned is every woman is different and it just may be from menopause.

I believe you can actually start menopause as early as your late twenties, so at 43 its a definitely possibility.  Did you breastfeed?  That will delay your period.  But with the hot flashes it sounds like menopause.  Go to Amazon.com and look up books on the subject, check the reviews and read up on it.  Then talk to you GYN. My doctor has a link with some info see below.

Ok, you got a BIG problem.  You need to see your doctor ASAP if you are post menopausal and bleeding.  Menopause means NO BLEEDING.  Call your doctor for an exam right away.  Something is really wrong.

How old are you?  If you are under 40 it is could be peri-menopause, but really, I would go to another doctor for a second opinion.

i would get a blood test to be sure or it could be a hormonal thing have your estrogen levels checked too

Stress is probably the number one cause of irregular periods. However, assuming your age is 50, you very well could be in the early stages of menopause. Most women women start to experience symptoms as early as 40 years. If you have any doubts or are worried about menopause, talk with a doctor. As far as HRT's go, your doctor should be able to tell you if you need them. They may not even be right for you. In the meantime, relax, take a luxurious hot bath with lots of bubbles and slow down. Let your brain unwind. Talk to your doctor or gynocologist. They are there to help. Best of luck to you

You might want to check with your doctor, it could be something as simple as stress, or could be a hyperthyroid symptom.
