My Mom said that she didn't have any problems going through the change either (My Aunt said that she was probably too stressed with my Dad to even notice even if she did have problems.) but that hasn't been my case. Hot flashes, crying, and moodiness (much better since I'm on Prempro). I'll be glad when things settle down and I know that my husband will be glad too.

I'm 45 and my periods last for 3 days but they are a killer 3 days. Cramps are awful. Have been since they started when I was 12. Even after giving birth they were killer cramps. But I know about the hot flashes can't wait to have them.
I'm a cold person. I can never warm up. But when I'm on my period I do get them. Thanks for sharing everyone. I wasn't sure what the age was as to when things start happening. My mom never told me about it. She had a histo when she was 65.

I'll be counting down the days soon...
