Is it common to miss a period at age 43?

I've missed a period this month. Kind of freaked out & took 10 hpt, so really don't think that's the cause. Just concerned as to what is going on & if it's normal.

Just wanted to update.... I was exactly 4 weeks late for my period & it finally came again. I was completely freaked out b/c at 43 years old, I had NEVER missed a period except when I was pregnant. I guess it is just hard to wrap my mind around the fact that I'm getting older :). Anyway- I really appreciate your knowledge at a time when I was panicking. :)

Thank you. I'm just stressing out because I've never missed a period except when pregnant, but in the past, my hpt would have shown up positive by now & usually I would have preg symptoms by now. I took another test yesterday, July 26, still negative. So now I've taken 11. Hoping this is just caused by being 43!

And yes... All 10 tests were negative.
