Menopause

Did you experience puberty and menopause in about the same way?

I asked a similar question on the recent Expert Guest thread.
(I asked if you have bad PMT are you more likely to have a bad menopause.)

What happened to that?
Have I missed it, or has it not happened yet?

For me they were different. I had no issues at puberty though I had friends with severe period pains.
I had terrible hot flushes at menopause and had to go on HRT. I still have them mildly.

In the light of the no-symptoms menopause thread, I wondered if there was a correlation between puberty and menopause?

Mine were both pretty uneventful.

Is your menopause more traumatic if you had trouble at puberty? Or can they be completely different experiences?
