Neil

your Dr. can give you a blood test. I was on that shot in 94I gained 20 lbs. in 3 wks. I only did the shot 2 times. I now have to work hard at keeping my weight down because of that I'm sure.

How can you delay the menopause?

Bernetta

I would like to know as i am 45 and desperately in need of a child but i do not have a husband now. Please help.



Bernardo

I think you're going to have to accept that you're not going to have a baby, darling!45 really is a dangerous age to be having a baby! All sorts can go wrong for you and your baby, not many babies or Mum's survive when they try and have children this late in life. You can't put the Menopause off either, I'm afraid! Maybe try talking to a consellor or your GP for more advice! Good Luck xxx



Annie

Adopt one! My mother in law is in her 50's and she has a bunch of foster kids. She adopted a little 5year old too.



Berniece

I'm not sure if this can be done, but i've heard of a procedure that a doctor removes ur eggs until ur ready, then puts them back in ur uterus when ur ready to conceive.



Kenny

I dont know... but I bet if you find the answer you will be very very rich!



Andria

O my god. I can't wait for it. I wish it came a lot sooner! Why don't you foster or sign up to one of things where famillies are looking for 'grannies' to adopt?



Chantel

Yep sorry to disapoint you but there is no way to delay the menopause its the course of life. There are reasons nature takes our fertillity away at a certain age its because of the health problems pregnancy could cause too so do think carefully. But the only way would be to donate yours eggs have them frozen and when you do marry you will recieve ivf which normally takes 2-3 attempts and is very expensive. So adoption and fostering would be something you should look into more but ofcorse this is your life i wish you all the best with the future

Is it true about contraceptive and menopause?

Dino

Is it true that contraceptive pills can belate menopause? As they say there are a fixed number of eggs in the ovaries, when all the eggs are released from ovaries menopause occurs. Pills prevent release of new eggs so they slows down the process?



Coletta

Vu is incorrect. Birth control pills prevent ovulation so an egg is not released. Plan B, known as the "morning after pill," helps to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. A woman will continue to menstruate as long as she is on birth controll pills. Once an older woman comes off of BCP, she goes into menopause.



Danilo

No. Pills do not prevent release of new eggs it just prevents fertilization between egg and sperm. So whether you are on contraceptives or not menopause will occur around the same time as it should occur

What can i do to hold my marriage together while my wife goes through menopause she039s unpredictable and moody?

Sanjuanita

She is making me crazy with her negativity, paranoia, mood swings, orneriness and being difficult.



Jacklyn

my best friend and her husband are going through the same thing but unfortunatly there is not alot we can do to stop nature from taking its course, just let her no that you are there and spend more time together even if you just go out for a walk together or a drive some women when they go through this feel as though they are no longer a woman anymore for some reason, the mood swings could just be horemones but if she feels asthough there is something wrong if she is not already on medication for the menopause then the doctor should be able to prescribe something.......... good luck



Danial

Well I am 23 and don't let that scare you away from my answer. With any challenge in life you need to be strong and be supportive. As for how you feel with her when she goes off...Be calm about it and loving. It isn't hers or your fault, just be there for her. I have noticed if you are clam about sexual health issues around women especially loved ones, it tends to help the situations. As for specific ways to help you out...I can't as I haven't been there in life, but if you love her you should be there for her and not turn away from her in this uncomfortable time for her.



Clement

the joys of womanhood. I can understand. My mum has just gone through a bout of cancer and it brought on the menopause and it has driven the family apart. The only thing I can suggest is for you to stay away from her as much as possible, this sounds horrible but when they think you are gone for so long they begin to see reason and therefore try to deal with it instead of making everyone else suffer.



Ardella

Send her on outings with her girlfriends more often, so she can vent to them and let off steam. Or spoil her rotten with a weekly trip to the spa. For yourself, find healthy ways to de-stress and try not to take this personally. If its getting really bad, go with her to a doctor, and describe the symptoms. There may be medicine to help out a bit.



Annabel

Mine was like that before the menopause. Lock her in the cellar until she sees reason.

What herbal medication do you recommend for the menopause?

Francine

Please ONLY post a reply if you are experiencing the menopause or have been through it. Mostly I am coping but am finding the "sweats" really difficult. I have an appointment to see my GP about the problem on Wednesday.



Reynalda

I am afraid no safe herbal preparations can be used. Phyto-oestrogens ( plant oestrogens ) are sometimes suggested, but there is no long term safety data on their use. The commonest and most effective symptom management is still conventional HRT. It's risks are real, but often exaggerated. Short term use is often the only successful option.
