Nearing menopausal stage

I am a female, 49 years old. I started having hot flashes about 2 years ago, when I was 47.

My periods were horrible, very heavy and I was miserable. My periods lasted 2 weeks.

I did not go to the doctor because I wanted to try and deal with it naturally. I started taking Estroven Extra Strength at that time to deal with the hot flashes and it worked okay.

It lessoned the sweats and it also has ingredients that are healthy, like B vitamins, calcium, and cranberry extract.

In the summer of my 48th year, I stopped having my period and didn’t have it for 4 months. I started again, but my periods didn’t seem as bad, even though they still lasted 10 days.

This past summer I stopped again and haven’t started back. It’s FANTASTIC!!! I hope this time it doesn’t return.

I have not had a bad time of it at all with menopause. Neither did my mother, so I am expecting to be done with perimenopause this year.

I will be 50 in August. I still have random hot flashes but the Estroven helps a lot.

I do not want to take any prescription meds that might affect me adversely. I think what I am doing for myself is healthy and adequate to deal with my symptoms.
