Post Menopausal
Posted , 7 users are following.
I'm really struggling to understand if I'm post menopausal! I've not had a period for nearly 12 months. No hot sweats or side affects. I've recently had my FSH levels done which has come back at 146 post menopausal! Really shocked to find out that I've gone through the menopause. Can this be right?
Thank you in advance

Your brain is still pushing off FSH to encourage your ovaries to produce estradiol. The fact that your FSH is so incredibly high, shows that your ovaries aren't "puttin out the goods" so your brain screams louder "Hey gals, I'm asking for estrogen and you're NOT LISTENING". But it isn't a matter of listening, they simply can't anymore.
Here's the bad news. I too thought that menopause was just a breeze. I didn't have any hot flashes or night sweats, none of the standard stuff. Though I was the "really lucky" woman. Little did I know what was ahead. Chronic muscle and ligament pain, vaginal atrophy and dryness, elevated cholestrol, fatigue, poor sleep.
So should you be surprised you are in menopause, not really. Should you know that sometimes woman don't have the standard stuff, absolutely. But does that mean you are not going to experience body changes, guess again. It's amazing what those hormones (or lack there of) actually do.
