Whether or not you will have a menstrual period at age 50 is very much related to the function of your ovaries. If the ovaries are functioning well, the ovaries will continue to produce estrogen and progesterone and the woman will have her period. On the contrary, if the function of the ovaries declines at the age of 50, the hormones secreted by the ovaries will decline and the endometrium will not grow anymore, so there will be no menstruation. Therefore, when a woman reaches the age of 50, to check how her ovaries are functioning, she can have a blood test to check her follicle stimulating hormone on the day after her menstrual period. If the follicle stimulating hormone value is greater than 40, it means that the ovaries are no longer functioning and there will be no menstruation.
