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.

Hi there,
If your wondering if your in menopause you will know. If you go a whole year without a period you are now in menopause. I have been for almost 2 years and its not getting any better for me. in fact worse. I have hot flashes, anxiety, mood swings, depression just about it all. When ever i ask others how they dealt with it they all say i never had any symptoms. either they don't want to say they had a problem or they were all very lucky. I wish you as much luck as possible with it. This site has made me feel that I'm not exaggerating how i feel which makes me feel like i can handle this and i'm not nuts, lol. Best of luck.

Hello! I started perimenopause when I was 47 I believe. I now am in full menopause @ 51 because I have not had my period for well over a year. That aspect of menopause is fabulous! Other aspects not so much! Life definitely changed for me. It was a necessity for me to go on hormone replacement. I am not myself without it. I have tried going off of it and always have to go back on. Everyone is different your symptoms may not be as severe. When you start, don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it and don't suffer alone. :)

my period stopped for over a year when I was 52 before that I would get period every 3 or 4 months once in 6 months. hot flashes were really bad especially in the summer. would wake up every hour drenched so I now take a low dose antidepressant to help me sleep more soundly at night . I take I c fortified soymilk and it has helped some for the hot flashes. I probably am more irritated and anxious. and I have gained weight. it's not much fun....be good to yourself
