Mary Jane Minkin, MD responded:
Dear An_245698,
I will reassure you that at age 32, there are many women who skip lots of periods, but in the vast majority, it has nothing to do with menopause. However, a visit to a gynecologist will help you clear up the likeliest causes, and you can figure out with her or him how to get things regulated.
Good luck,
Mary Jane
