About 7 years ago (at the age of 45) my periods started to become hit or miss ... I'd have a couple, miss a couple and so on ...

Based on my limited education (ie. what I've read in medical and scientific books) ...

I figured that one side of my ovaries had simply quit producing eggs and that the months I had no period I hadn't ovulated due to that side being empty ...

I am happy to announce that I haven't had any periods at all since February of this year and am hoping that it's over for good ...

As far as hot flashes go, I had some rather intense ones off and on throughout the changes I've experienced over the past 7 years ... The most intense were shortly before and after I stopped altogether in February ...

Those, too, have now abated and I'm really kind of agog at how lucky I've been considering all the horror stories I've heard about what other people go through ...

Nevertheless, I can honestly say I'll gladly take having hotflashes over having periods any day, week or month ...

Wishing you a mild instead of wild transition ...
