HELP!! I wonder if anyone would like to tell me about what happens AFTER peri?????
You have "Official Menopause" after 12 consecutive months without a period. Okay, that's the physical side of it, but what about all the other symptoms? Do you still have the dreadful down days where all you want to do is cry? What about your sex life? I have read that some women enjoy sex more during menopause because of not having to worry about birth control. Could this be true? Mostly I have heard that women lose their libido totally - THAT'S depressing!! I hope someone can help me here????? Rita

Someone answer????.................Rita

Hi Rita

I dont have a clue where I am in the menopausal cycle having had a hysterectomy at the age of 30. I do think I have been in peri for some time though.....simply judging by the symptoms. I have spoken with friends who say that the after menopause period is the best time of their lives......they are so much more relaxed with themselves, they enjoy sex and they have a better view of the male population as a whole. Now keep in mind here......these are just the thoughts of a handful of women.....but they look happy and healthy and if thats the case then I look foreward to this point for sure. I am certain there are other woman in this forum who can certainly offer their own thoughts on this.

Have a good day
Jadie

Jadie, thanks for the positive note. I get a little hysterical sometimes when I think that my future is going to go on and on with these horrible symptoms. Even though it's only a handful of women - it still gives me hope that things will get better, not worse!! Thanks!! Rita
