Here is a little history of what is going on.

Mother Nature seems to be visiting more often than usual lately. Seems every 20 to 25 days or so.

In Jan I got somekind of attack weather it was Panic or hot flash do not know. I was in the the Bathroom and the heater came on while I was sitting there on the throne I felt warm then warmer then just dang hot, the floor seemed to get nearer and I thought I was going to pass out. Did I mention that my heart started to race and could not catch my breath. I ran to the front door stood outside in the freezing snow and waited till I could breath and the hotness went away. Now all the while my kids bless their heart are standing there with me. I felt horrible (I am 41 going to be 42 this year I think)

I mentioned it to the Dr and he thought that maybe (not to insult me) that is was a start to the change.

So here are my questions

1. What age do you normally change at?

2. What should I expect?

Vera, is the fibroid causing you any other problems? Or is it just that you can't get the device? I have a huge fibroid, but I'm told they tend to shrink after menopause. Mine has not really caused me any problems.

I don't want to wait till.., like i'm not there...

Medium, there I was, spread eagle..she decides to check my full report/chart, go's back 7 years "an ultra sound on your daughter's pg shows it too"....thanks So I say check everyone's documents before you offer this IUD.

Thanks Nancy

I don't feel anything?

Vera, there are new and innovative ways of dealing with fibroid removal now. A hysterectomy is no longer necessary. And in certain cases, the tummy doesn't need an incision. Do your research, you just might be pleased with what you find out. My best to you!!!

Wow Thanks

Didn't mean to hyjack, well worth it

Thanks

I actually went out and got a pregnancy test. I mean, I NEVER miss a period, and here I am, 3 months without one. Turns out I'm not pregnant, just old.

Wait until you have that nightmare and you dream you're pregnant, OMG. I usually wake myself, usually in a sweat, love those, and just keep saying to myself, it was only a dream, lol.

<dark laughter> Pat, why do you think I went out and bought one of those tests???

Good Luck Shamrock hope everything works out.

My mother inlaw has so many problems going through the change well she is still going thru the change. It has been over a few yrs when she has her menses she actually has to wear a baby diaper. I will have to read up on the Pre cause I thought it was something that just happened. My mom takes some kind of pill that she says they are pulling off the shelves??? Well another thing to check into cause if it's patches I will have them all over my body to never feel the way I did that day. Good thing I had clothes on cause when I was running for the door I did not even worry I was in a robe let alone with out anything on.
