Things ain't what they used to be.

Same here HowVeryDareYou, but almost overnight, no build-up. Complete full-stop.

Fan on the desk at work, switched on and off all day. Nothing else much though. I was lucky.

Good advice to me was when in bed & overheating, just fold the duvet back on itself from the corner - i.e. make a triangle. Easier to fold back when cold 5 minutes later!

Good luck those going through it. I was lucky. Few sy,pmptoms, no HRT. Although my girls said they thought I became very selfish at the time. Moi?

One minute I’m putting layers on and the next am tearing them off again.

I had quite an easy ride really- no hot flushes, no nothing. But my daughter is now going through it, I suspect. Her moods are all over the place. She’s a difficult girl at the best of times, so you can well imagine 😫

Is that you Mum? 😆

I was nearly 57

I'm 63, and my periods didn't stop until I was 59 1/2! The last 6 years were terrible.

I was 56 before mine stopped.

I can't wait

Mine seem to be getting worse in the build up

I've been post menopausal for a long time. So good to have no worries about time of the month.
A women's sports team are now wearing black shorts because of the anxiety of 'showing' during a period.
I remember those anxieties.

Yes, I had a hysterectomy at age 35. Very liberating.

The menopause was my best friend too, 30 years ago.

Haven't needed to use that phrase for over 30 years, well not for me anyway. Having a hysterectomy was one of the best things I did, changed my life.

LOL,i know exactly what you mean granzilla.
Weve had the same conversation.
