I definitely worried when my period didn’t arrive, but my healthcare provider reminded me that irregularity is a normal part of the transition. Still, they also said that if a period is missing for several months, or if something feels ‘off,’ it’s worth checking in—just to rule out anything unrelated to menopause, like thyroid issues or stress changes. For me, speaking to a doctor gave me peace of mind more than anything else.
