Time for Pap

I am usually able to talk him out of the exam. He just does the breast thing. Don't know if I'll be able to talk him out of it this year or not. I always tell him it's a waste of time because I don't want to know the results and if they were bad I wouldn't do anything about it anyway.

I go this Saturday and I'm not looking forward to it. As soon as my appointment is over, I'm gonna try the Estroven. Hopefully it will work for me and I won't have to go back, but if not, I'll have a new 1-year prescription.

Well good luck! I hate the breast exam too.

Goofywife, you're considered "through" menopause when you've gone a full yr without a period. I agree with the others that you're most likely never going to have a hot flash. You lucky lady!

I've had up to 7 months between periods... start thinking "this time 'm gonna hit that year!" And then I'll get one again. LOL
Age 52 is the average age for menopause, and I'll be 53 in November, so I'm more than willing to be average!
I really don't have terrible hot flashes, but I'm much more emotional and wimpy than I normally am. I can get choked up over little or nothing and it's quite embarrassing for someone who's not used to being that way.
For example, when I was leaving my Moms house yesterday my 2 yr old granddd cried about my leaving her and I felt myself tearing up right with her. LOL How foolish and unlike me!

That's not foolish Tink. You just love your grandbaby. Wish I got to see mine more often but my lifestyle and Traci's just don't leave much time to get together.

I know what you mean. I cry at the drop of a hat. I was worried about crying on vacation in front of the others......sure enough I did it! Not once but twice! It might have even been three times! I hate that part!!!!!!!!

I talked him out of the exam. There's nothing down there anyway. Did get the breast exam. He is so good to me and I cried about the whole visit, due to things going on right now with hubby and my Mom. Bless his heart...he gave me Xanax. I have yet to use them...I really should, but I try to handle things on my own first.

Ladies, Thank you so much! Woo Hoo! I am only 44 but I started at 11. I hope that's it. I do think I have been less tolerant of the heat this year.
