Is this normal?

I recently turned 41 this year. My periods have been normal and like clockwork my entire life until last year. After a bad battle with both flus, pneumonia, etc January 2015. I would go 2-3 months without and then be on track for about six. Miss a month and then go back.

My last period was in January and this is the longest time I’ve gone with that one. I went to my dr a couple weeks ago and she acted like everything was normal and just explain that oh sometimes your body is at the point now where you’re older and you’re not releasing eggs like you used to. I just feel like it’s been a really long time and I’m very anxious as to when it’s actually going to show up because I know it’s going to be four months worth like last time.

I’ve noticed that I get cramps like I normally would before getting a period but the period never shows up. I had signs of ovulation about two weeks ago. This is all just very frustrating and confusing. In addition to that I have night sweats, brain fog and random hot flashes mostly in the morning. I also have POTS so sometimes I don’t know which symptoms go with what 😭
