background

I am only 36 years old but was informed by my consultant that my change in monthly bleeding and sore breasts could be due to 'Things changing'. Is this normal? My bloating and sore boobs start around ovulation time and my sex level has dropped. I tend to get very moody if I'm not exercising often around this time. A while ago I did wake up during the night dripping in sweat....but that hasn't happened for a about a year. I have an amazing amount of stress in my life at the moment so thought it may of been that. My mum went through the menopause at 27 but all the other ladies in our family have been ok.

Did you know?

You won’t get the menopause the minute you turn 50! The average starting age is actually between 45 and 55 and it can often depend on a number of factors including hereditary, weight and health, however every single woman will have an individual menopause.
