Lise, don't think of this as medical _advice_ , just a sharing of knowledge.

Do you think a person might reasonably expect to have started menopause by 53?

Would a hormonal BC devise have any effect on the onset?

Just curious...

(My best friend of all time got pregnant when she was 40, horror of horrors, by accident... (She's had a rough year- her husband turned into a woman after 25 years...)

Good Lord. I'll say no more about the "Jenna" situation. 40 is far from too old to conceive!

53 is definitely in the menopausal range. Most of the symptoms we associate with menopause are from decreasing estrogen, so using a hormonal BC method could blunt the effects

Nope, no wine for me, thanks. Send it to Nanci, and you've made me happy by making my friend happy!

Never tried Honeystingers. I've seen people talking about them on the boards...

Tater, those Gopher Tortoises can run! I think that pic was taken at Kennedy Space Center. That's exactly what they look like when they're running down a paved bike trail. They get tired pretty fast, and flop down with a big huff, then get up and run again.

(That's what my baby Cracker Chicken will grow into in many years).

MP - I was wrong, she wasn't running for mayor, but for "the half-time, city council-like position of district supervisor for District 6". She lost.

So - what exactly is a Honeystinger?

Honey Stinger is a natural energy gel made from a combination of Pure Honey, Pure Water, Salt, Potassium Citrate and Vitamin B Complex (Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, B1, B2, B6, B12).

Honey Stinger uses honey as the main source of carbohydrates, as opposed to man made carbohydrates commonly found in other energy gels. Studies show that honey is low on the glycemic index and therefore provides a long, steady source of energy instead of a spike and crash. Honey is also a natural source of antioxidants.
