[quote=Anonymous]My gyn told me that for every woman, its different. some will have all the symptoms and they come and go over, 5-10+ yrs. Others have a sudden onset or no symptoms at all but periods stop. I have had symptoms that come and go, and often are not present at all —insomnia, irregular periods, mood changes, hot flashes, night sweats, dryness— over past 7 yrs or so (im 49). I went yo dr and had them test my hormones. Turns out Im at low levels of fsh and not close to menopause at all at this pt. He said if I was, I could take HRT. Instead, I still take the pill for estrogen and he gave me vaginal estrogen cream, which I highly recommend. I always thought there would be s moment when I changed and somehow became old — like hot flashes, gray hair, wrinkles all at once. but it doesnt seem to be like that, at least not for me. It is disconcerting and no one really prepares you for all this[/quote]
