Warning! TMI Alert! If you don't want to read anymore about women's personal health issues, STOP READING NOW!!!
Ok...you've been warned.
It's official. Well, not "official" official--as in I haven't seen my ob/gyn yet--but symptom-wise it's official. It's been a year since my last period. I'm menopausal. Or is it post-menopausal? Whatever. I'm done.
The hot flashes that I've had off and on over the last year and a half or so are mostly gone. The weight gain is definitely here. I'm not sure what else I have to look forward to. Overall, it hasn't been that bad.
But...what's next? I need to see my gyn anyway--time for the lovely yearly exam. Blech. What's he going to want to do? Estrogen? Will I feel better? Is it worth the risk? No cancer background in my family. What are my other options? Or should I do like my mom and let nature take its course? Maybe I'll start by just remembering to call the doctor and make an appointment.
