Help! I Have Menopause

In my research I found that menopause is simply the time when a woman is no longer producing eggs in her ovaries and when she experiences a decline in the amount of estrogen and progesterone both womanly hormones. In most cases the women who get menopause are older, usually between 45 and 55. However younger women may also get menopause if they had their ovaries removed or if they are experiencing a premature form of menopause, so here I am a 38 year old woman with menopause or actually I have a form of menopause called perimenopause which means that the periods are beginning to taper off. For me they have actually stopped, however you are not considered fully in menopause until you have missed 12 full months of periods. While having menopause early is one thing, it is not common, normally women don’t get this until they have reached on average about 51 years of age. So if you are 38 don’t worry you may very well have plenty of time left before you actually get it.

In the next blog we will talk about the perimenopause symptoms and what you can expect from getting this stage of menopause.

Hello Everyone, I am Katherine Johnson also known to most as Pastor Kayte. I am now in my very late 30’s and guess what I am going through early menopause. I am not embarrassed about it, as it is simply a part of life, however I know there are some women who find this time considerable distressing. So I decided to create a place where ladies could find all the information they need on the subject. I look forward to seeing you in the coming months as we discuss this topic.
