Think I have hit menopause periods been irregular for 5 months & been getting these hot flushes and no period now for 7 WEEKS.
No immediate female family members to judge when it,happened to them & Google it leaves me with a sense of dread!!!!lol
What can I expect ?
So far hot flushes horrible...  Pissed off at people & today a new one nausea! Deep joy!
Will I gain loads of weight ? What foods do I avoid ? HRT ? Yes or no
Help!!

   join the Club!  Browse the menus, top of screen.  Keeping a mood/food diary helps some ladies so that they can chart any patterns.  Leave Dr Google alone  he knows not a lot ………

I haven't gained weight.  A drop in oestrogen can cause laxity of muscles so one can expect odd aches and pains    or not: anxiety/not ……….. periods can stop or be intermittent for a number of years

Hello traceymark1 and welcome to the forum.

One of the good things about this place is that every conceivable experience is represented here so there is always someone to help or inform you. As an example I can tell you that I've had hot flushes, but never the soaking ones, I've been seriously pissed off with people although that seems to be lessening now and I've just re- discovered nausea! I haven't gained much weight, I avoid dairy for digestive reasons and I am on HRT.

I'm sure other ladies will be along soon.

Wishing you well on your journey and take care.

K.
