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,
First of all, about me - I'm soon to be 40 (Dec), married, twin girls soon to be 2 (Oct.). For a while now, I've had headaches, which is normal, but they seem to be more frequent. I've also started having nausea more frequently. I'm tired all of the time, but don't know if it has to do with medical conditions or having 2 yr old twins! :) I'm wondering if it is possible that menopause is beginning.
What were your first symptoms, what were your ages when they began, and does it sound like this might be what is happening? So far my periods have been fairly regular. (I have also battled endometriosis for many, many years.)
