I wish it was something that happened when you got older! Hysterectomy at 29, and I can grow a mean mustache...and some burly beard hairs. I pluck. I pluck. I pluck. =)

Let those suckers grow out long enough to see and the go to an salon that offers electrolysis. I paid $1.00 per minute and scheduled 30 minutes. NO MORE UNWANTED HAIR. It was worth $30.

OK, now tell me why hot flashes are good for us?? :!: I have skipped two periods in a row and am hoping to become the first woman in history to do menopause by quitting cold turkey. My doc is always asking me about it as I am in "peri-menopause" and I would love to be able to tell her, Yep, I just quit having periods. It's all over now.

I'm 6 months into menopause and it has not been fun. I have the craziest cycle. It's been a hit and miss situation.

I really wish Doctors wouldn't make blanket statements. He may be right for the average person, but mine definitely did grow back faster and thicker! Electrolysis did not work either.

I am ready for menopause!!! I am tired of heavy periods. I am 45 and ready to not have a monthly visitor wearing me out. I will have to check into electrolysis. My eyes are not nearly good enough to see those pesky chin hairs. Ugh!
