at 43, it's not unusual to start seeing changes in your cycle. Mine started changing around 36 and now at 45, I'm going through hot flashes and 100 plus day cycles. Fun [ Reply | More

maybe, maybe not. Keep track of your cycle from now on. And note any other symptoms, hot flashes (did you know you can get cold flashes too? Lovely) weird pains, anxiety etc. Not much you can do about it and aging beats the alternative in my book! ;-) [ Reply | More

LOL - death!?! Aging is normal. If you are interested, here is a link to a website that is all about menopause. It's a message board and pretty informative. SO far, my symptoms haven't been too bad. I'm going to tough it out if I can without meds or hormones. [ Reply | More

LOL! It's not that bad. We knew we couldn't have any more kids anyway, so it's not like I really want to keep bleeding every month! I know there are health issues but I have gotten much better about exercise and diet now that I have to. Not really a big issue. That website will make you feel really sane though. Apparently menopause makes some people really nuts! [ Reply | More

less estrogen leads to higher numbers of heart attacks, your risk of all types of cancers goes up. It's natural though and stress will get you more quickly than haywire hormones. Keep track of your cycle and talk to your gyno in a few months. I'm not trying to freak you out here! [ Reply | More
