Seizures and Menopause?

I'm 52 years old and have had seizures most of my life. I'm starting to go into perimenopause I think. What I wanted to know is if when have not had a period for several months and then have another does that you have to start the year over to be in memopause?

Typically menses will become further apart in perimenopause until stopping all together. Menopause is considered to be when there have been no menses in 1 year. Any bleeding after that is concerning and should be worked up by a provider.
