    Default Am I starting??

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    I turned 47 in Jan.
    I used to be regular as clockwork.. now I've only had 2 periods for all of 07.
    I cry alot
    I sweat at night ( NEVER done this before), sometimes get what I think might be "hot flashes" during the day, but I'm not sure.
    Can't ask my mom what her symptoms were or when she started/stopped as we no longer speak..
    So can somebody PLEASE help.. let me know if I'm going nuts, am starting "pre-menopause" or as a friend has suggested, I've been going thru it for some time, and am just now starting to really notice it

    You might be going through menopause. I am lucky that I can gage myself with my sister who is 3 years older than me and I am following in her footsteps.
    I have been irregular for 2 years, I am 49. My doctor gave me a calendar to track my peroids. When I have gone 1 full year without I am over. I went about 6 months without and the BAM! Peroid after Peroid. Oh well, maybe next year. I get night sweats, hot flashes and used to cry a lot. I made a career change so the crying has subsided.
    I had a period that lasted a month and got hormone theropy but don't like the idea of taking pills. I stopped the hormones and I am trying to do this naturally.
    Crossing my fingers!

    I know you will be ok, it's a good thing we live in modern times and not the Victorian times. Can you imagine?

    Those sound like all the symptoms of menopause.

    The only difference is I don't have the irregular periods; they are still regular, but they are WEIRD!!

    They have been getting shorter and shorter... I get the night sweats, hot flashes; I can just walk anywhere and get dizzy or have those heart palpitations.

    What a mess!
