I truly feel this is an important time in a woman's life & you have to be close to the Lord during these years. W/o Him, you are bound to have severe issues afterwards. I feel my mother has gone completely bonkers since menopause & doesn't have a very good relationship w/ the Lord. I had a panic attack last fall that taught me to always be in close relationship w/ Him at all times.
Take care ladies! kd
Amen to that!

Hi ladies. Can I join?????
I think that I am at the start of some changes going on. I am 38, soon to be 39 next month. I have experienced bad PMS (mood swings, feeling overall yuck). My period is still pretty regular, but I have had EXTREMELY bad cramps and heavy bleeding. I missed a day of week a couple months ago because I couldn't get off the heating pad. Also, for about 6 months or so I have experienced night sweats. They come about a week before my period comes and they last until my period is over. I get the sweats every night during that time. I wake up dranched, it's gross. I'm due to see my gyno soon and I will discuss these things with him.

Couple more questions...do your periods stop for good? Or are they just very irregular? I remember my mother buying feminine hygiene products for my grandmother who would have been well past the menopausal stage... ???? Someone said that they were taking meds to make sure that they had their cylces approx every three weeks or so... why? Do you have to do this? Isn't this SUPPOSED to happen? I don't understand why she's having to take meds to have a period if she's in menopause.

No your periods eventually stop for good.

Eventually they stop for good. However, sometimes they can become very irregular for several years before stopping. Some women choose HRT or something like that to make their periods regular, lighter and to control the hormones so that they aren't dealing with the other menopause symptoms.

Sometimes femine hygiene products are used to help with a leaky bladder.

They will stop for good eventually. Sometimes though the peri-menopause stage can last many years before it does stop.
My mother still had a couple of cycles a year at the age of 66.
The meds were probably hormone replacement, which I don't know if I would want to go that route or not.

Kim, you're cracking me up!! I had one last week - middle of my nose, just below where my glasses hit. What is THAT about?
I switched to powder foundation - it stays on better in the heat, which we're at like 40 days of above 110 (nice record, I didn't really want to know about it, but there ya have it) - anyway, sidetracked there - the powder foundation stays on better. Might give it a try. Covers these post-teen blemishes pretty good too. 
And I keep my place pretty cool too - especially at night or I can't sleep. AND I have a fan blowing on me. 
Good thing I'm single, I don't think I could handle anyone else's body heat near me. LOLOL
I have the temp set at 70 day and night...I am freezing everyone else out of the house but...hey, I'm comfortable! 
You know the saying, if Mama ain't happy, nobody's happy.

Forgetfulness???
I get embarrassed sometimes because I know exactly what I am wanting to say and for the life of me I can't remember the word. 
I stopped to talk with a lady at Wal-Mart the other day and the entire conversation went like this,
Her: Is your granddaughter going to the same preschool this year?
Me: No, umm, she is going to.....o crud, what is the name of that place? It's just across from the...o the place you mail letters...
Her: The Post Office?
Me:Yea! It's that one church, you know, the big one, has the...things that make music on the hour?
Her: Bells?
Me: Yea! The bells, o, what is the name of that place? It's right in front of the elementary school that my kids went to...sits on Lincoln Street.
Her: Lincoln Elementary?
Me: Yea! It's the church right in front of that.
Her: Methodist Church?
Me: Yea! THAT

So I never mentioned it to him again. I told him he ought to know I don't like sex enough to do it with someone else anyway.
