I was an "oops" baby. My Mom thought she was well into menopause and so she and my Dad stopped using contraception. Bingo, along came me.

I'm 45 and fully menopausal. I haven't actually had normal periods for years due to meds, but my last period was around 18 months ago now. I'm lucky, I'm not getting any hot flashes, but I have been cursed with an excess of facial hair - drives me nuts.

On a semi-related note. What defines when menopause is over?
