Thank dix.. useful! I just asked my mum a question this morning.. You see.. i had a period 2 weeks ago and now ive had another. I asked was that normal, because i heard it was a warning sign for cancer bleeding in the middle of your cycle, but she said she had very irregular periods when she started the menopause.
Already feeling way too hot at night, thats been going on for a couple of years, sleeping with my feet out the bed lol

Empathy,

That sounds exactly what I went through during memopause. I never knew when a period would appear and the hot flashes were the worst. I would be talking to someone and then have persperation on my upper lip and forehead. Very embarrassing. I could feel myself getting sooooo hot! Not telling you all this to worry you as everyone experiences it in many different ways. Either way........this too shall pass.........just not fast enough for me. lol

I really don't think you should worrry but if you are it checked out and you will feel better.

Thanks Dix for the great info.

I went through an awful time when I woke up with night sweats. I'd have to get up, take a shower and of course put on clean Jammie's. I also had hot flashes during the day. That went on for a couple of years but they have eased up considerably which is kinda weird. Now my periods come a little more often. Sometimes heavy sometimes very light. I think I am getting off easy.

My mother had an awful time. She would flood for weeks at a time. It was awful. I am sure if she had gone to the Dr. They would have wanted to do a hysterectomy. But she never went but once.

I guess it is totally different for everyone. I do know they say if you can make it through it without harmonies you are better off. But for some that is really hard to do.

Lol, I'll sure be glad to reach menopause so I will no longer have a period at all!!!

I will say that reaching menopause is a blessing and a non-blessing. No more period's....a blessing. Getting older, not a happy time. :-) But it is what it is. I did try harmone's but Doc's always recommended that it was not the best thing to do. You will be much healthier and happier if you don't do it.

LOL. Never thought that I would say........yea on reaching menopause! BTW, they always want to do a Hysterectomy or a V and C. I always said no! And I have no problems in that area. I think we all know our own body so much better than the Doc.
