Menopause Support Group

Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.

Do you normally have any warning signs of your period, like cramps or bloating? I can't really tell you what else to do except wear a pantyliner just in case.

I learned to always, always be prepared. Always have some women's needs stuff in your car, and I even keep an extra pair of panties in my glove compartment....just in case. I did have a surprise. I had been having irregular periods - 2 a month- skip 2 months- spotting for a week- stuff like that. I would have symptoms the whole time but never have a period. I usually start craving spicy food, but there have been times that I craved all month. I called it my PMS uncertainty!

The only thing I know to tell you is that I wear panty liners all the time these days. I can't tell anymore and don't want to be in a position that I have a nasty surprise.

For Francess67
A suggestion for protecting your mattress is to get a cover for it, and for the the sheets there are bed pads that to cover them, if you want to get them. Hopefully this helps.
