Aunt Flo finally did not beat up on me this month. Probably the mildest one in years. I'm down to my last day & today I'm nauseous, but otherwise, I got through this one w/ no complaints. I doubt it means a thing, though. Back to the same ole, same ole next month w/ needing lots of Depends! k

Hi!
Came looking for this thread because of odd symptoms...
Been regular for many years. Still am and am about to turn 50. The last two TOM's have been painful, but in a weird way: I'm nauseous and having pain in my stomach...not THERE, not low. It is very similar to having ulcer pain, but it goes away after a day or two of flow.
Is this pretty normal for the beginning of menopause? I'm a widow, so it isn't pregnancy...besides, I think I'd recognize that, haha.
Just wondering.

Hi all. Figured I'd pop in here since it appears I'm joining the menopausal group verey soon. Having a hysterectomy on the 8th, and right now we don't know if I'll get to keep my ovaries. Ovarian cancer runs in my family, and I'm having the hyster to get rid of uterine cancer (and horribly heavy periods which land me in hospital for too much blood loss) so it depends on how the ovaries look when he's in there taking everything else.

Had a little unusual experience this time. I mentioned that my period was milder than usual. I always have a little residual bleeding for about 2 days after my period. But, this time after being finished for several days, I started having light breakthrough bleeding for about 4 days. Thank goodness it finally quit. I don't know if it was because my period was so mild this month or just another one of those quirks indicating the end is near! Any thoughts? k

I'm really not concerned at all. I've had no problems w/ that part of the body all my life, so not real concerned it will start now. My mom's menopause road was pretty difficult too, but she survived it & never went to a gyno at all (she got mad at one for trying to push HRT on her so she quit).
I guess I just get tired of not knowing what to expect & being prepared. Didn't have enough of the "right" pads for it. It's crazy I need so many types of protection in this phase of life! k

I haven't ever had a nauseous feeling because of my TOM, but I do sometimes get stomach pain (cramps) now, and I hadn't had cramps since my early 20's.
There is a list of a whole bunch of peri-menopause symptoms somewhere earlier in this thread. Maybe that would be helpful.

Shallbe, I didn't comment because I'm not sure if my symptoms were the same. I used to feel like I had morning sickness for a few days before my period started. It got worse the farther along I was in perimenopause. I never went to a doctor, so I don't know if that's normal or not.

Anyone taking St John's Wort for their moods? My aunt swears by the stuff and I seem to be very moody lately the point of crying at the drop of a hat some days. My periods are regular; light, then a heavy day and then light for a few more days and I have joint pain.

I tried it and it didn't help me, but I'm sure there are different manufacturers. If it's working for your aunt, just make sure you get the same brand.
I tried valerian root and it was helpful for me. It's more of a calming herb though.

) but all in all...no night sweats for 3 nights now and only one evening with a headache that kept me up for hours on end. 
Mart and stocked up today. I've had strange cravings this time around........... bananas and water............... and of course chocolate.
