I have just turned 47. My periods have been very regular up until recently, but now have not had a period for 7 weeks. My tummy feels very uncomfortable – what advice can you give.

Hi I am a 28 year old mum of 2. My periods have always been irregular and heavy and for this reason i had the marina coil fitted which didnt help my periods then dropped and after the birth of my second daughter I had the implanton fitted. This has also not helped my periods at all,infact they are getting worse, longer and heavier. My last periods lasted 6 weeks then after a two week break my next period started and lasted another 2 weeks. Even having sex with my partner can sometimes bring a period on. My doctor precribed me the pill 2 use aswell as my implanton but this affected the pigmentation on my face they also gave me tranexamic acid but this did not stop the bleeding. I am having heavy night sweats just before during and after my periods, I am so tired and this is no good being a mum and it is seriously affecting my sex drive. Please help.

Hi im 41yrs old and the last 2week's i have had an on and off period not heavy and light in colour. I have been suffering with hot flush's especialy at night time,do you think i could have the starting of the change?

i'm 22 years old an i don't know whats going on in my body. I haven't had a period for well over a year. My boyfriend and i have been together for over 6 years and been tryin for a baby for the last 2. We're both really worried but i think more so me because of the missing periods. i'd really appreciate some advice or help with this prolem.

i am 39 and apparently my moher went through the menapause at this age.Will i follow her by going through an early menapause?i am on the pill and have regular periods which last about 3 days but i dont seem to lose a great deal of blood (40% blood 60% brownish)it is mainly a brownish discharge.i am also a single mum and would love to have another baby when i find the right person.

i am 41 i have been unable to have sex as i suffer from vaginal dryness of for some time can it be Perimenopause my periods are but not heavy is any thing i can take to help with this

I am 45 and am going to visit my Doctor tomorrow, my periods stopped 6 months ago, but recently I have been experiencing hot flushes, they disturb my sleep at night, as I am constantly throwing the covers off and then pulling them back on again as it subsides. During the day it can be embarrassing, especially as I work with men and feel them looking at me when my face is all beaded with sweat. My thumb joints have started to hurt and I have noticed that my skin is starting to dimple, or am I just getting paranoid?
I have certainly lost my sex drive and my hair is falling out. I have just been to a well known natural remedy shop and spent a fortune on remedies. I just want my doctor to confirm if this is the menopause and to ask what she feels about HRT or just let nature take its course.

I have had heavy periods for the last 7 years with bouts of severe anaemia.
I,ve had tests which showed just a few adhesions on my womb…..laparoscopy,hysteroscopy and the Mirena coil fitted….twice….both fell out… I was told I was not producing any progesterone. After the last coil came out I had a severe flood for 3 weeks,then 4 months of ok periods…but now they are just as bad as before and I am at the end of my tether.I am taking iron,but the blood loss is so severe that I am still anaemic.I have perimenopausal symptoms too. the coil…while it was in place worked,so I assume all I need is the extra progesterone to stop the estrogen affecting my womb lining,but I also suffer with high blood pressure.Will the doctor give me progesterone injections? If not then I want a hysterectomy-I,ve had enough.I fear that even if I have the uterine ablation,I would be one of the unlucky ones when it doesnt work. I am desperate,crying alot and have 3 children to look after.I,m 37 but feel like an old woman!! please help

I am a 60year old active lady and after 8 years of h.r.t(patch estrogen only as I had hysterectomy in my thirties) I have under doctors control over the last year come off it, However, the hot flushes I experienced were horrendous – 20 a night, to say I was on fire was a understatment as I felt so ill and they built up to a situation where you could fry an egg on me. Sleep was impossivle and day time sweats left me in the same situation, I just had to lay down and try and cool off.
I went to a new doctor (as my old doctor had retired) she was absolutely unsympathetic – I had some patches left and have started again until I can see a doctor to guide me through the last low dose I was taking and stopping. Interestingly for the last three years I have been going to the doctors about a yellow green discharge which has made me sore and very uncomfortable (and had to wear tena panty liners all the time). I had several tests of this discharge and they came back normal, but in the two months I was off h.r.t. this totally disappeared which leads me to think that while on h.r.t. this induced this discharge. I just wonder where I go from here – will the hot flushes ever calm down so that I can lead a normal life? Perhaps someone knows the answer?
