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.
I read in the book, "The Pause", that the closer you get to menopause it is possible to have symptoms every day of the month. I have symptoms most days (they are often mild except when my cycle is almost here) but I don't think I am close to menopause because I have not missed a period yet. It will be two years in June (although I've had most of these symptoms before some still scare me so much). I know it is a natural process but for me it has been hard. As, I have stated before I do have a strong faith in God and pray frequently, but it is still hard. Can anyone comment or give me advice. Thanks, Jammy
what I ended up doing, is getting NATURAL progesterone (definitely not synthetic....big difference ) and not estrogen as I had enough already in my body. natural progesterone will calm you down.....so if anything, I'd say use that.........do deep breathing......join a group for fun try not to worry too much. you will be ok.
It's true for me - Uggggh! I stopped menustrating 6 years ago & recently began having symtoms like crashing fatigue that have interrupted my life. I have a low tolerance for drugs, so I've been looking & asking for advice on alternatives. At this time I have not received a reply on my post about crashing fatigue, so either no one has any advice or has found anything helpful - I don't know.
It's your decision if you want to use progesterone or estrogen or anything else when menopause interferes with your life as it has mine.
I'm drowning in the Pause - Arrrgh!
