Right on time

I am 51 and will be 52 in March. I had a hysterectomy for a tumor, but boy is it great not having periods anymore. Mine were so awful, painful cramps and a mess. Hopefully you won't get the hot flashes or anything like I did right after my surgery. Now I take Premarin in the lowest dose possible. I usually just take one everyother day, only to stop the hot flashes and night sweats.

I know it's another turning point in a woman's life, but it's a great one!!!!

Wow Janet, it's nice to meet someone else who's in a similar stage of life. LOL
Generally the people I've known on line are half my age. Not that I don't enjoy younger people, but it's nice to talk with someone who's in a similar place in life too.

I've had some of the tyical flashes and sweats, but not to a horrible degree. I'm on so many meds for a variety of medical issues that I've avoided adding another one if I don't have to.

I didn't want to take anymore meds either, but those hot flashes or sweats, really get annoying. So I don't mind Premarin so much because they really help.

Yeah, I know there are not that many our age, but some of these gals have wisdom beyond belief. I just love them so much. I am glad that these younger women have so much more, what do ya want to call it...gumption!!! I love it. They are so much wiser I think at their age than what I was at the same age and I admire so many of them on here. When I'm here, I feel like I'm their age...

i have not had a period in the last 2 years and i am 47yrs old. the only good thing about growing old.

I am 41 and had a hysterectomy about a year or so ago....Having no more periods is like receiving a special gift each and every month. LOVE it!!! I take Estradiol for hormones and I've had nothing negative happen (yet)...I hate taking a pill everyday but it's worth it.

Janet · 10-15-2006, 02:43 PM

You betcha!!! I would rather take a little pill than go through with the periods every month!!!

Hey Lynne!!!!! Glad you finally made it!!!!

I can't wait until my period stops! I hate it! I probably have 10 more years of it though. Oh just the thought makes me cringe!

I'm 49 and going through the "change". I never know what to expect with my periods. I had hot flashes bad enough that I wasn't sleeping very good so I'm on Prempro. It helps to even out my moods too. I'll be glad when it's over. It would be so nice when you're done having kids if you could just flip a switch and be done with it!!
