How Do You Know When Your Period Has Stopped?
For most women, this transition to menopause lasts about four years. You will know you have reached menopause only after it has been a full year since your last period. This means you have not had any bleeding, including spotting, for 12 months in a row.

What are the symptoms of your period ending?

These include:

  • Irregular periods.
  • Night sweats.
  • Hot flashes.
  • Fatigue.
  • Aches and pains.
  • A change in sexual desire.
  • Changes to skin texture and appearance.
  • Bladder control problems.

When is your period officially over?

Your periods will continue until you reach the menopause, which usually happens when you are in your late 40s to mid-50s. In the UK the average age of menopause is 51. Your periods may start to become less frequent over a few months or years before stopping altogether. In some cases they can stop suddenly.
