Can this be menopause. Late on cycle for
2 months now and had tubal 17 yrs ago.
Negative pregnancy blood test. Blood
work, urine test and exam all normal. My
doctor has sent off blood work to see if
I am in menopause and should have the
results in 2 wks. My Dr. sent 3 days ago
for an ultrasound and they called
yesterday and said the results were normal
with the uterus wall, lining, and ovaries
all normal. No blockage or disruption in
tubes that could be seen and fluid level
in my uterus was normal. Have had mild
constant cramp-like sensation in center
pelvic region with constant tingling
sensation in the clitoris that make me
have to urinate a lot. I am so confused
and don't know what is going on.

Yes, it's just another phase of growing up
to deal with lol. I believe I am in
menopause, athough my periods have not
stopped completely. The worst part about
it for me is the tiredness... I am a high
energy woman and I believe since I started
menopause I've become easily tired and
fatigued.

It starts with skipping your periods and
then all of a sudden you will get it
without warning. I would skip it, get
extremely bloated and uncomfortable and
then a few months of that and then it
came. Now I am 50 and have not had it in
9 months...so you will know when you are
in it, you might have the hot flashes and
night sweats. You could be in the
peri-menopause, which can last for years.
But, it is a natural process, nothing to
be afraid of!

Could This Be Menopause? Posted: 11-26-07 08:58am
Yes, I am 49 so my periods are now
becoming irregular whereas before I was
like clockwork. My periods have also
changed. They are very light now, they
went from being very heavy to very light.
What I'm concerned about and would like to
hear others experience about is other
symptoms, like fatigue, crying,
depression...

I too experience depression and crying
spells. My doctor gave me zoloft. I feel
better, but I still have my days. The
sweats are disrupting my life. I work in
a hospital and it is very high paced and
all of a sudden I will be soaking wet.
Sometimes they are hot flashes and
sometimes sweats. If I get nervous they
get worse. I am taking natural vitamins
and flax seed oil which used to help, but
now it does not seem to be doing the job.
I don't want to take hormones, people have
told me they gain weight and don't feel
well on them. I have already gained 10
pounds, and I do exercise and eat well.
But, I guess this is all part of the
process...

I too hesitate to take the hormones
because I hear they cause breast cancer.
My mom was taking the hormones and she
developed a lump in her breast which was
not malignant, but still. The weight at
this stage of the game is something I
constantly have to battle with. There is
a tendency to gain more around the middle.
I do have hot flashes but not the sweats
yet. Although a friend of mine has had
the sweats and apparently they do go away
at some point. I take an antidepressant
too, but still sometimes I'll just cry for
apparently no reason. You called them
"spells" - yea, that's what it's like.
Anyway, good luck to you!
