[quote=Anonymous]My mother (now dead) talked ALL the time about how important passing down medical history is and she would call me every time she went to the dentist to report their findings in her mouth, each time she had routine bloodwork, etc. But I literally never ONCE heard her mention the word menopause! So for all her talk, she never talked. When I was very young (4? 5?) I recall sitting at the top of the staircase with my grandma and older brother and we said something about her having a baby, and she explained that women don't get their periods forever, and go through menopause which is when it stops, etc. Now I'm 48 and my cycle went from 35 days to 20 or 28 days (alternating months) so I assume that's perimenopause? But other than that, I have no other symptoms. My doctor is VERY vague. If I have no symptoms other than a shorter cycle do I need HRT for any reason? Did your moms tell you anything that can help me? [/quote]
