I'm stumped about periods showing up after menopause, but I think I've vaguely heard of it before. There's not much on it online, there's a yahoo thread that says see a doctor. I don't know if it's a symptom of a serious sickness, the body emulating the cycles, if the body took a break from having a menstrual cycle then it coming back, or something else.
I don't know if its wasting time, but many would have everyone believe all of NBE is a waste of time. If its possible, it might be more difficult, since reading about menopause, it says the ovaries are smaller, and estrogen is about a 5th of before menopause. It'd be hard to see how enough progesterone can be produced since the corpeus luteum wouldn't be around, but there are phytoprogestogen mimics to progesterone like diosgenin from fenugreek. Progesterone is important for structure.
Fatty tissue can create estrogens from the andrenal androgen DHEA, so aromatase herbs would be important to aid this. anti-dht herbs are still important, and prolactin itself wouldn't be a problem. Grains and herbs that help the liver may be useful. The liver breaks down small amounts of estrone (which is common during menopause) into estriol (but possibly not significantly); but the liver also breaks down estriol. Fatty foods allow estriol to stay around longer. Estradiol is low in quantities during menopause, but estrone is high. Estriol is high only during pregnancy, but the point here is to have a healthy liver which does amounts of converting. Estriol: Safety and Efficacy (also has information on other estrogens)
