I think it is 3 month of no bleed and no drug therapy for menopause----after that any time is postmenopausal bleed provided no drugs being used

Well by definition, bleeding occuring with a delay of 6 weeks to 6 months is called Oligomenorrhea..So, menopause should be even longer than 6 months, which leaves us with the option of 9 months.
