bc pills and menopause

[OakLeaf]

Well, ...one day I plan to ask my sisters of their experiences. Might have to wait awhile...I have 4 other sisters. I am the oldest.

Ha ha, I'm in the same boat with two younger sisters. Our mom had a hysterectomy in her mid-30s. I'm in uncharted territory here

southern european blood here. menopause no big deal (i'm 56 and have been DONE for 2 years now) . There are some minor issues dealing with tissue thinning, but from what you're saying, it shouldn't bother you at all.
As your body goes from the artificial hormone levels induced by the BC pills to its own normal level (there should be some bouncing up and down, as your body notices all those hormones are gone) you will probably have some hot flashes and perhaps some other symptoms. But it doesn't sound like you're going to have much of a problem, since I believe a good percentage of it is just attitude and yours is good!
