Hi Sandpiper,

I too have fibroids and keep a check on them. They will disappear completely when we reach menopause.
I am 51 ( the usual age to start, but everyone is different)and still waiting on results to see if I am peri-menopausal. I have had 2 missed periods in one year, and had one loooong one last month. I am usually on schedule otherwise.

I was told by my Doctor that most clotting is normal if it is under the size of a quarter. I have PMS with my periods, but I learned to control it by recognizing my symptoms and doing as much as I can to not let it interfere with MY everyday life, just everybody elses, ha ha.

From what you said, women can go till they are in their 60's. I am not sure , but would think that possible too as we are all different. Many early Boomers will be turning 59 this year.

Maybe some of them can let us know what age they were. Survey says....

Great Topic, one of my favorite subjects. [Roll Eyes]
