First Signs Menopause
Menopause - the signs?
How do you know whether you are on the memopause?
Over the last 4 years i have only had a couple of periods, very light and only lasting a couple of days. I was never that heavy anyway. Have been sterlised over the last few years (periods were decreasing then anyway) and am a few stone overweight, don't know if any of these things affect it.
Doctor never mentions it when i have been for a smear, and for the first time ever my smear was abnormal this time and due to go for another one this/next month.
i am over 40.
Well it does sound like you are well on the way through the menopause. I suggest you ask for the blood test that will determine if you are still ovulating, or did you have your ovaries out? The blood test measures the hormone levels.... No harm in asking when yhou go for the next smear! Good luck!
