I second that- sounds abnormal. See your doctor/gyno.Originally Posted by Biciclista
Red Rock-
everyone is very different! I am a late one- I'm 54 and have not had any menopausal symptoms yet, and according to a recent blood test I have not even started menopause yet. Go figure!

Thanks, all. I did... Fibroids. We are ultrasounding again in a few months, but there weren't any changes in them at last checkup. We've been messing with different BC options, some have been better than others at controlling the periods. My next option is the IU implant mentioned in many previous posts here. I guess the theory is that if you can get by without too much trouble until menopause, then the fibroids go away. We'll see... I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Bleeker-good for you on not having any symptoms yet. May you live long and prosper in your happy state
Jes-glad everything is ok. I have had an irreular heart beat since my first husband died. So I have seen a cardioologist for that and its under control.
I was on BC at one point in my life and it made me so photosensitve it drove me crazy. I do not know if I have remnants from that now. My timing on periods has been ok. No real drasic changes. I'm with you all on the decrease in sexual drive though. I just want to go to sleep and DH wants to do other things. Arrgh!

Sex drive??? What the heck is a sex drive? I'm 60, and it seems that I sorta remember having one.
Tis better to wear out than to rust out....

When I was in my 30s I kept reading how menopause brings a resurgence of sex drive to women who no longer have to worry about pregnancy. I'm glad to hear from you-all that I'm not just a freak. In the old sense of that word, definitely not the new one.

Here's some commentary on "bioidentical" hormones from the National Women's Health Network. Short version: no safer than pharmaceutical hormones, and whatever you think of pharmaceutical regulation (not much, in my opinion or NWHN's), they're completely unregulated. There's another comment today on their blog.

Actually, I don't believe my sex drive has changed. What hurt it was the fact that it was painful. Now that the problem is taken care of, I don't feel any differently than I did in my 30s. What has changed is the importance it plays in my life. I guess I'm lucky my husband feels the same.
