I'm 54 and just missed my first period after being extremely regular since having kids 23 years ago. I'm happy menopause is finally beginning but now I'm worried I have to have a pad handy all the time just in case I start bleeding. Most concerned about a trip I have coming up to Europe -- I'd really rather not have to wear a pad everyday. I know everyone is different but how confident should I be that I won't get another period?
