Haven't told my husband about all this - I feel kind of embarrassed about it.
Ah don't feel embarrassed, think how I felt when i met someone at 27 and had to tell them!
Just say you think your body is changing and may go to doctors as getting symptoms that are making you feel down. Xx

I tell my husband of 25 years anything about my health on a need to know basis I have to know everything about anything he's got though .
He's great but I'd sooner deal with most of my medical things on my own.
It just makes be feel old and less attractive. I'd rather he didn't know but I will talk to him after going to drs.
Thanks Gillian for your posts. X
God woman have a right raw deal don't we!!

We certainly do!!
Men cannot see it tho. Not just the period stuff either.
When I was having our first baby, all my husband could complain about was how uncomfortable the chair was in the delivery room and how sweaty his rear end was
And on a reguler basis he complains about having to shave his CHIN - well try legs, underarms etc then mate :irked:
I noticed changes when I was 42! I have read so much on the subject of peri-menopause and menopause! I was on HRT for a while, but had weight issues with it, which I never had before. My main problem was hot flushes! They were terrible! For some reason they always were at their worst when I was at the Supermarket check-out, making me look very guilty indeed! Had uncomfortable night sweats, but not the awful ones I hear about where some women need to change the bedding several times during one night, thank god!
I hope I am allowed to say this. What worked for me was Wellsprings Natural Progesterone cream. You can visit the Wellsprings website to read up on it! It takes about 3 months to get into your system. It helped to a certain extent. I then read about Starflower oil 1000 mg capsules and Vit E capsules, also 1000 mg. I started to take them with the cream and I can honestly say the difference was great. I now take a hot flush about twice a week and the night sweats are completely reduced to the point where they are not troublesome! Hope that helps some of you!
ah weight issues. Is this part of it too?
I lost 2 stone 5lb last year and was so pleased, but to keep it off I need to eat 1200 calories a day no more AND go to the gym or workout class every day as well, and all that just MAINTAINS my weight thats all, so to lose it I'd have to eat next to nothing or do 2 workouts a day.:irked:
Needless to say this has been difficult to keep up so I've gained back a good half stone:irked: Do you think peri-menopause slows the metabolism right down?
I don't so much get hot flushes but I do get heart palpitations which initially were really frightening as I didn't realise they were menopause related.I also get itching at night,you itch one bit then another bit and so it carries on.
Skin is much more sensitive,I feel all the labels in my clothes now.I also feel so angry sometimes over the slightest thing or really tearful.Its a funny old time.
