For the "pushing 50 ladies"

[blowry]

I am 49 yrs young...I am perimenopausal....I had my period 3 weeks ago and started again today!!!!! ARRGGGGGHHHH! WHEN WILL IT END!!! Just want to know if any of you ladies out there are at "this lovely time" in our lifes...are your periods all messed up? I am ready to change......NOW! LOL....

I'm 49 too and going through it with ya'. My last period never quit. It just got a lot lighter but now it's started again!!! My hormones are out of whack!! I'm having heart palpatations, hot flashes, and headaches again. I think that it's time to go back to the dr. and get my Prempro dosage upped!!! Uuuuuuggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

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!!
