Any women here that have gone threw menopause?

Question

Im 34 years old started my period at the age of 8. This whole year I haven't had a full blown menstrual. I just have alot of cramps the whole pms but no blood only spotting. I remember my grandmother saying she started hers in her late 30 but my mother in her late 40. And the doctors here in Yucatan say o then yes you started . But it's scary cuase I'm so young and the pain in getting unbearable. So I thought about asking here and see if anyone has gone threw this and can help me understand.

Answer

I am new to this group, I joined because I feel that I am now experiencing the early stages of menopause. My regular period ended this February 2020, it seems, because the next period came in early May and it ran like a river, something that I am not accustomed to. Now today in the last week of May some more but very less than the previous flow. However, I am feeling cramps just the same. I hope that I am in the right ballpark, and that this isn't something else. I opened to any suggestions.

Hang in there!! Started the perimenopause symptoms when I turned 40. I’m 42 and haven’t had a period in several months...still waiting to hit that one year mark. It comes with a LOT of changes and discomfort. Be strong. You are not alone.

Answer

I just turned 45 and my cycles have been much heavier than ever before. I am having hot flashes, at least that is what I believe they are, and my mood is HORRIBLE. I’m severely anxious and depressed. I feel like I can’t manage my emotions anymore and I’m avoiding people altogether. 
I can’t tolerate others being around me and sit on my chair most of the day. I’m even out from work. Is this still within norm for menopause?

I am not sure how old this post is as it does not incluse the year. I am 39 and just found out that i am in full menopause. Apparently, the cjemocal pregnancies that i have had since Jan 2022 have been due to perimenopause. I have a 19 yo and almost 3 yo (Dec 2, 2023). These symptoms are HELL!! Anything that helps?!?

Answer

I am 33 and have been experiencing symptoms of menopause for a year or so. I didn’t think anything of it at the time. Hubby and I started TTC for baby 2, having had fertility issues I went to my specialist at the six month mark and she did some tests only to find I am in face perimenopause and probably have been for at least a year. It was the most devastating news. We did several more tests to find I have no egg reserves and my body is no longer sending the signals to ovulate. I would really recommend having your hormones tested. It can help how you treat the symptoms. Actually knowing that my symptoms are menopause has changed the way I react to them and how I treat them. There are also hormone replacement therapies that can help with the symptoms. ❤️
