    i'm a bit confused as to what happens to a woman's body when she goes through menopause. seems the symptoms are similar to a lot of other things.

    the main thing i want to know is about body hair. i was showering and noticed i have a LOT more nipple hairs than i normally do.

    could this be from early on set menopause?

    I am experiencing that same, uh, change. It was kind of alarming.

    menopause doesn't set in until your around 47 or 53, at 33 you hardly have anything to worry about..

    It could be lack of estrogen which can be related to early signs of the menopause. I tried doing some research but failed other than that.

    just because i'm 33 doesn't mean it's not menopause. my body seems to like to do things at it's own pace. i was the only one in the 3rd grade with breast. :mad: only one in the 4rd grade menstruating.

    it might be lack of estrogen. i do get some seriously bad migraines right before my period each month. that's usually caused by a severe dip in estrogen levels.

    i do have a doctors appointment next week. i'll ask then.

    I remember one of my lecturers at university saying she got the menopause at about 29. Everybody is different, it's always good to remember that!

    Hope it's all ok, boogs.
    Definitely have your hormone levels checked. It's a simple blood test.

    not true.

    It can happen far earlier than that. I was completely finished before I was 42. Started at 38 and that was confirmed by hormonal screen.

    Each person is very different. Starting, stopping and the way each persons body acts is very individual.
