Am I starting the menopause?
| Thu, 04-05-2012 - 4:49am |
Hi, im 45 and for the past 2 months have gone from extremely regular periods (28 day cycle) to having a bleed/spotting/brown discharge and period pains every 3 weeks. No other symptoms apart from feeling a bit low. Am I starting menopause? Also I've lost a lot of weight recently (45lbs) and somebody thought I might have just messed up my hormones with the weight loss?

While it is possible that your weight loss diet may have messed with your hormone levels it is also quite likely that you are also entering peri-menopause.
