 My blood tests came back and said I am in menopause. 
I also have a low thyroid to blame some of my weight gain on!!!



UPDATE - I do get to take a pill for the low thyroid. 
I'm been trying to tell the doctor for 2 years I was in menopause but she kept having me take birth control or progesterone to start periods!!

 ((((((hugs)))))) Will they be able to give you something for your thyroid at least?

[mkcdaisy]

 aww sorry.  I don't have the menopause but I understand the low thyroid.  Hope they get you on something and get it evened out soon. HUGS

[ArmyWife95]

 Awww Hon!  I'm so sorry.  I hope that they can get your thyroid straightened out.  I'm so sorry!  How young are you?

[FairyMouseMom]

 Ummm, thanks for the warning????
Is it a good thing...or bad thing?

Let's weigh this now ... no more of the monthly cramps, or the monthly supplies to buy (more $$$ for SB supplies), no more PMS vs. hot flashes (so far the only thing I have a problem with) and possibly taking some kind of a hormone pill.  mmmm ... I'd say it is not just a good thing but a "GREAT" thing!!  Now the thyroid is a whole different story but yes they should be able to give you something for that.

Sorry about the thyroid. Meds will help. But on the menopause, I don't mind getting there. Aunt Flo annoys the heck out of me.

Oh & here's something for you.

Ummmmmmmmm - I never had a hot flash, night sweat - nada.

SOmeone flipped a switch.   All of a sudden - ALL DONE!

End of story.

I deserved good menopause genes.

 Glad to see the update on your thyroid!! That's good news!

 I'm sorry about the thyroid and hope they straighten that out for you quickly.  As for the blood test - lucky you!  I keep getting the blood tests that say - you're not in menopause... and Aunti Flo turns up every 3-4 months now.

 *hugs* blah to that doc. I hope it all works out for you. We're here if ya need us cherries!

[TraciL]

 so sorry, I think doctor's should really learn to listen more - like we don't know our own bodies!


PS:  I'm crabby 28 days out of the mo and happy for 2 - my periods are reversed

[Mom2Bri]

 Sorry about the menopause and the thyroid. I have been on thyroid meds for about 12 yrs now. I I'm wondering if I'm premenopausal. I have been having some hot flashes and I was visited by Aunt Flo twice this month.

 Good that they gave you something for the thyroid issue.
