For the "pushing 50 ladies"

I feel so bad for you ladies.

I didn't have to go through all that. Hysterectomy cured that slow agonizing torture...

All I had to do was start taking the hormone Premarin and everything is just fine!! I think????

I'm with Janet, hysterectomy along with ovaries at 35 and Premarin since then. I still have the flashes occasionally and I HATE them

I will be 52 next week and have only had 2 periods in the past 7 months. I am somewhat more emotional than usual, but not nearly as bad as some I've known or heard about. I do get an occassional "power surge", but they seldom last long.

I too just want this to be over with NOW. LOL

I often think of Archie Bunker telling Edith she had just 5 minutes to get this chage business done with and get back to normal.

If ONLY it were that easy!

I don't have any advice, but wanted to jump in with the others in letting you know you are NOT alone!

LOL! thanks! I agree with Archie!! LOL have you ever had your period and then a few weeks later bleed again? this happened to me yesterday...I thought I was starting again but it was just for the day....I to get more emotional and my fuse is a little shorter than it used to be....I realize this and try to control it...of course my husband doesn't help!! and I tell him to just let me be but, you know how men can be... I use the always thin pads with wings....I never noticed this before but on the (wing) paper it says "have a happy period" I called my husband in the bathroom and said CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS!!! HAVE A HAPPY PERIOD! had to be a man that came up with that one! well hundreds of woman before went through it and now it's our time but ENOUGH ALREADY!!

i am 47 and i havent had a period in over 2 years, i do get the occasional flush mainly at night when i am in bed. as far as being emotional i dont think i am though my husband would probably tell you otherwise but i dont feel like i have changed any. i just hope things dont get worse the older i get so far it's been pretty smooth sailing.

I haven't had more periods at all. I love that I haven't had one for so long... it's been about 4 months and I haven't missed it at all.

I am less tolerant of peoples bad attitudes, especially at home; and I find myself tearing up at things that normally wouldn't have bothered me. I lost a young man a yr ago who was like a son to me though, and have been rather depressed since that anyway, so can't say for sure how much of this is related to that.

Certain songs will make me get choked up and I don't have the strong constitution about a lot of things that I used to. I blame it to age because it's a handy scapegoat. LOL
Who knows, maybe it's environmental as much as hormonal?

Isn't growing older just the best thing??????

Hot flashes, peeing when you laugh/cry, crying at the drop of a hat, losing our tempers, having patience, being sad, being happy, being emotional, not caring, loving our family, wanting them out of the house, being confused, knowing it all.

Can't get any better than that!!!!
