[quote:Anonymous Coward 664534:MV83NzkwNDJfMTE5ODE5NjFfMkI5NkMzRDQ=] Menopause varies with age. Why do you expect it at such an early age?...generally it occurs in the 50's age group. You might have some time yet. Some women get over it with minimal problems, while others can go through hot flashes and other symptoms for years. [/quote]
Original Message
I'm 47. When I was about 42, a doctor told me about perimenopause. The nurse told me it could take "up to 8 years", for it to all be over-with.
There reason why I don't want to see a doctor or gyno. about this. 1). I don't like those exams. I've had more than one child and enough of those embarrasing exams.
After I had my last baby, I promised myself that I wouldn't have to go through that ever again.
I don't plan on getting cancer or an std, so I don't need any tests.
Please don't respond with any info. telling me how stoopid I am not to subject myself to this because la la la la I can't hear you.
Anyhow, I'm still getting my period with no sign of stopping. Regular as a clock with only a few drenching hot-flashes now and then.
I feel like I got gyped!
I've never taken the pill or any hormones before, and although I wouldn't recommend it for younger women, I really am sick-of riding this monthly roller-coaster.
I'm aniemic for one thing..bla bla,
I know they use the pill to stop periods, and that would be the only reason I'd be using it for. I don't need so much to prevent pregnancy because I'm celibate right now.
What if I bought "plan B" or The morning-after pill and cut it into smaller doses?? Would that be really expensive? I don't plan on using any estrogen at all because I smoke.
What about bio-identical hormones? Could I find & use a safe dose? Just enogh to stop the periods and nothing else.
