i like daisys positive approach, lol i begining to think i got that causing all these problems on top of aches got the hot flushes, moodswings,irritability, sleep deprevation, (just as your kids grow up and sleep through the night, your body dont want you too) god truely was a man making women suffer wasnt he lol as for kits weve had them in our chemist, near pregnancy kits

my periods started at ten..daughter eleven

Anne, I've been peri menopausal since 37 (7 years). It's in my genes by the looks of it, Mum and Nana had the same. Months become 2 weeks, hot flushes becoming far too frequent, moods horrendous and headaches hideous. Apart from that it's no problem! Daisy

LOL - thanks Bec xxxxxxx

Big MWAH and <<HUG>> for you Menopausal ladies! xxxx

I have always understood that the earlier you 'started' the earlier the menopause was, but dont quote me. Like many on here, Anne, I had little or no problems, in fact I think the more you read the more you get! Have your oestrogen levels checked out at your family clinic, and then you will know for sure. Thus armed, then choose whatever it takes so you feel 'normal' again. Good luck...XX BC

Sorry - by early start - I meant the age periods started - have amended heading :O)

Started age 30 hysterwotsit 36

All over and done with by the time I was 50 and my only symptom was the occasion 'flood' without notice. ost inconvenient at times !! Other than that, no hot flushes or anything.... and very grateful I was too !!

Mmmmmmm, You've got me thinking, was that why I woke up last night drenched? Didn't put two and two together then, even asked my husband if he was feeling warm! I'm 52 and am still waiting for the signs, perhaps this was it, I'm so pleased to hear of people who it passed by, perhaps that could be me too. Suex

Anne, isn't that an old fashioned 'cure' for pregnancy?? Didn't work then either.. lol Deanna X

Oh Anne Bless you sweetie I think you may be in the peri-menopause stage, oh dear only about 2 years to go then !! Pm me for tea & sympathy chuck, :0) Joan xxxxxxxx

I need an 'inducer' - do ya think a hot bath and some alcohol would work lol Anne - who feels like cr&p ,,,,,,,,,,,,,

June, I'm so glad. Sometimes women don't believe me when I say it. My daughter used to say, we can't have anything that the men don't pinch..... even the MENapause! Deanna x

Thank you to the ladies that have PMd with their experiences ........... :O)) xx

Deanna, Passed me by too, thank goodness. June xx
