Hi, I am 58 and for the past 18 months have had no period. My husband passed away last August and ive been struggling to cope with the loss and been suffering a lot from anxiety and stress with trying to cope on my own with works needing done on the house. I have just started bleeding which gave me quite a shock as I thought once it stopped that was it. I am not on HRT have had no problems other than the occasional nite sweats which past few weeks have been more frequent. I have been doing quite a bit of heavy lifting too which I shouldnt be doing but when your alone you tend to have to get on with things. Could stress have brought my period on? Be grateful for any advice, thank you.
