Menopause

I have been.

It's so dignified putting your legs in stirrups while someone shines a light up your floof isn't it?

Even worse when they feed a camera into your uterus!

All is well in there! Not even a polyp. I am NOT in menopause and I guess I shall have to accept that I'm just eating too much....

Floof LOL

Glad all is well LB

Have you never heard "floof" before HC?

My kids call it their "Mary"

Which caused all sorts of problems when youngest Miss LB was cast as Mary in the Christmas play.....

And even worse when she announced at school aged 6 "My mum is going to get her Mary looked at by a man today who is not my dad"

I was seeing the gynaecologist.

  My mothers name is Mary

My dad's middle name is Isaac. He always said it was a good job his surname wasn't Hunt.

Think about it.

  Yup, my mums a Vagina

That would have been unfortunate indeed for your dad, especially with a scouse accent

S'ok HC - Your mum might be a vagina.

My dad's an arse.

Glad that is over and done for you, LB, and glad there is nothing wrong 'down there'. I LOLed at 'floof' too and I have heard many things over the year!

Bridget, I'm afraid that I don't remember enough about your situation to comment. Feel free to speak to me off-line if you would rather.

LB the good old transvaginal scan

My last smear was done by a nurse who is also a mum I know from school and I used to serve at the library

lol LB at Isaac and Mary, we have fannies and willies at home

BOING!

Hot flushes are back and I haven't had a period since November. Off to see the Doctor on Friday to find out what's going on.

Symptoms seem a bit worse this time round and I'm noticing I'm becoming more forgetful. It's a weird sort of forgetfulness though. It's not that I've forgotten to do things, it's that I've forgotten I *have* done them. Odd!

Ladies

Looking for some help with this one!  I was 51 in October and have been "regular" as clockwork for many years.  No pill for me as it caused horrendous problems with PMT.  No hot flushes but had a period last week, finished for a couple of days and then got menstrual cramps with a lighter "show".  Does this mean that it's started?  Also, if I started to take something like Menopace would it lessen the impact of flushes etc when they start?

Many thanks

Hi trigger2

Don't know much about Menopace, I'm afraid. I'm due back at the doctors in a week or so to find out the result of my blood test so I might be able to give you some info then. There is a test you can get from Pharmacies that can tell you if you've got low hormone levels or you could see your Doctor who can do blood tests.

Good luck
