i had a tubal ligation in october and I
then went off the pill. In november I
had a tummy tuck and I had one period and
then no more. My hormones started
jumping all over the place and a hormone
test seemed to indicate I may have started
menopause but I know sometimes after major
surgery it can mess you about. I am
never, ever late. I went back on the
pill because I was so uptight and was
going overseas in may and june and didn't
want to ruin the holiday - I also started
anti-depressants. Anyway, I went back
off the pill and again no period. I
don't seem to have any other symptoms like
hot flashes or anything - just the moods
and no period.
Am I right in assuming it is the beginning
of menopause? I thought the periods got
irregular and heavy, etc. Before
disappearing.
Anyway, I am 40 years old and had my first
period when I was aged 9. My mum went
through menopause at about 42 years old
and she went through it fairly quickly.
I would appreciate your views/comments.
Thanks.
Maggie.

Most women do not have bad meno problems
so don't assume that you have to fall into
one of the suffering categories, it can be
a pain but it's not always so bad for most
women...Not to deny that it can be bad for
some
if it's over it's over ...One year no
menses, that's it, get meno test if you
want, fsh follicle stimulating hormone
which gets high, they're even sold otc
now
enjoy your freedom from reproductive
problems and tampons
