Oh, Brenda, wish I could help. I'm 55, but I had a complete hysterectomy in 1995, so never went through menopause. So hope that this all stops for you very, very soon!!!

I had a complete hysterectomy at 44. It was GREAT!!! I still take a very low dose of estrogen. Menopause is MENTAL...makes you crazy!!

Brenda I am in your shoes .. If you search threads about three weeks ago I was having a very heavy period. I am 52 also and my period comes and goes for a few mts. and then resumes again. Like I mention last mt. it was very bad I was bleeding heavily, I thought that I was going to have to go to the gyno but it stopped and got lighter the next day.
I don't know how true it is but I hear that if you don't get your period after a year you can assume that it is gone... I AM WAITING!!!! |

I had what Gina is having, but because of fibroid cysts. I remember never knowing when I was going to be "flowing." It was awful. I bled so much. I think it took 2 or 3 years and then it gradually stopped. Gina is right. After a year of not having it, you're pretty much there. I did get it after almost a year, but it was light and only once.
I am so glad to be done with that! I do take hormone therapy 3 times/week. It's a very low dose too. Hang in there. It will stop, and then you can never worry about keeping all that equipment in your bag.
