my poor dh gets cold so easily and just wraps himself up in a bunch of blankets every night. Estrogen deficiency sucks so bad. (Menopause in your case). Makes my temp go screwy, makes sex difficult, libido gone, oh the lovely list goes on and on [ Reply | More

I have found with the libido that it is more a matter of adjusting my desire on purpose. It used to come and go naturally with my cycle. Now I think I could do without for months. But I'm not willing to do that (and neither is DH!) so I make myself think about it and just assume it will happen a couple times a week. Seems to help [ Reply | More

we bought some ky but we are ttc (with an RE) but we also will ttc without IUI at home and I heard preseed is safe. There is almost a zero chance of it working at home so I don't even know why I bother with preseed but hey, anything that can help [ Reply | More

interesting. I am going to avoid any meds or hormones if I possibly can. Right now drinking soy milk keeps them at bay most of the time. But every now and then they hit for a few days [ Reply | More

45 and in early menopause. I'm ok with it mostly but it surely not what I expected! My cousin is having the same troubles and we were laughing at ourselves discussing potty training and hot flashes in the same email! ;-) [ Reply | More

right, I'm 48 so expecting I'll start having symptoms sometime soon. I want to avoid taking any drugs if possible -- I'm a bit paranoid about it, b/c I have a friend who went thru early menopause (at like 30) so she did HRT, and then she got breast cancer at 40 and I can't help thinking it's related.
