it'll be good to see how others manage this 'time of life',eeek!...i think,no,i know i'm starting the menopause now and have been 'in it' for the last year or so.My periods are now irregular,sometimes i miss a couple of months and then i get 2 periods in close succession...bit like waiting for a bus,none for hours and then 3 together

however,other than the irregularity,i'm not having any other symptoms yet,no hot flushes or mood swings..as yet anyway.I don't want to go on HRT i don't think but i don't want to shrink or develop a hump so,at the moment,i'm watching and waiting and using soy on a daily basis.
My diabetes isn't particularly affected as yet,neither is my weight which is normal but i'm 50 this year so maybe i'll develop more problems over time...hope not!!!
one thing i've noticed,if i exercise every day,my periods are regular,if i don't exercise,i tend to miss a period...so,in my study of one...my conclusions are,exercise is good for keeping me regular
