The classic answer to this question is, when you have not had a period for a year, you’re through. Menopause is a process, that usually takes several years at least from start to finish.
Your age is pretty high for you to still be having periods, unless you’re taking some kind of hormone replacement therapy or other medication that keeps them going. I think you need to be thoroughly checked by a gynecologist. You may have fibroids or some kind of slow-growing abnormality that needs to be taken care of.

A woman is menopausal after her periods have stopped for one year. Menopause typically occurs in a woman’s late forties to early fifties. It is a normal part of aging, marking the end of a woman’s reproductive years.More information and remedies at

According to statistics, the average age for menopause is 52, but it can occur at any point from your 30′s to your 60′s. Hormonal shifts general occur two to five yars beforehand.
The good news is that this phase eventually ends, but with some it could take more than ten. Hopefully you are in the last stages. From all I have read, this is normal.

The definition of menopause is, “the time after you stop having periods.”
If you haven’t completely stopped, you haven’t entered menopause.
Technically speaking, menopause is the time when there is a permanent “pause” of your menses. This is your last period and officially menopause. Menopause actually only lasts a few days. The aftermath of menopause is when you are experiencing menopause symptoms.
During perimenopause, your hormones are winding down, fluctuating, and often creating symptoms that we commonly think of as menopause.
