When will you have your menopause

There are a good number of us that would like to know the answer to that question and soon there may be an answer.
Research into the hormone anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) suggests that analysis of this hormone may be able to predict when menopause will occur.
AMH is produced in women and can be detected from the onset of puberty. It is currently being used in women undergoing infertility treatment to estimate how many ovarian follicles they have left. This helps to give an indication of how successful infertility treatment will be.
Naturally, some experts are still very skeptical and are waiting for the results of the study. For you and me, it could be very useful to know, especially for women who have postponed having children for one reason or another.

    2. Great, informative site. I am too young for menopause yet [I hope] but will pass this info on to my mother!

    3. Menopause Tip: DOUSE IT
    If you’re at home or in a place where it’s convenient, you can “spritz” your face with a spray of cool water from a squeeze bottle or you can blot your face with a cool washcloth or moist towelette.

    4. I think I’ve been very lucky, I’m in the midst of the menopause now, aged 54, but am not experiencing any of the well known symptoms such as night sweats and hot flashes. I’ve heard people say that if you want to know how the menopause will affect you, just look at your mum. As I recall my mum sailed through it too, so perhaps there is some truth in that.

    5. Doctors use to say that we were born with a certain amount of eggs, now they say we regenerate more eggs.. so whos to say what they will find out next.. Best thing is to look at your mother.

Tell me what you're thinking...
