OK, for the last 4 years I have been having 'night sweats' and over the last 18 months my periods are erratic, they used to be 28 days on the dot.  I am also finding myself feeling dizzy a lot.  Am I in menopause?

I've been like that too Cinds...and i am only 37!! have been to docs and they sent me for scans to rule out anything else as my periods have been erratic but verrrrrry heavy when they get here. They said if nowt shows up, then I am probably menopausal. I have awful hot flushes, day and night, dizziness, which is terrible at the moment....my skin is drying out at an alarming rate and I seem to have numerous 'symptoms' of the menopause. Back at docs tomorrow for more news....yipeeeee!!!!!

Women seem to have got the bad hand when it comes down to it. Periods, Menopause,Child birth etc: I bow down to all women for being able to cope with all these things. You should rule this planet then maybe we would have less violence/wars  ( Maggie Thatcher is removed from this coz she tried her luck and failed).

Except when we have PMT

Then I would invade Belgium and seize its chocolate stockpile.

Is this just air-strikes or troops on the ground? The true chocolate comes from South America.

It would be a covert operation..stealth plundering South America is just too  far away. Switzerland's within range though

Oh yes! I'm menopausal...fecking pain in the arse it is. I started having symptoms when I was 44 (peri menopausal) I got blood tests and they showed me hormones were on the fritz!. I took HRT for 6 six years at the age of 46,it was bloody brilliant! However they don't recommend it for any more than that.Now at aged 55 I have  the full hot flushes etc,for years.I asked my doc "How long does the menopause last" she replied "How long is a piece of string"...pfft!

I wish it happened just like my niece thought it did.  She got her first period, my sister provided all necessary items.  Period finished, niece gave everything that was left back to my sister thinking that she was done, one period, never ever to have to go through it again

When i explained about periods too my daughter she sat and thought about it for a while then came too tell she had decided she wouldn't bother having them  she wasn't too happy when i told her she didn't have any choice

Can I join in on the invasion?  I'm not that bothered about chocolate, but I do like a nice trip abroad.

Join it? You're the first wave of it! You are the official leaper-outer of planes
