What is happening to me during MEN-O-PAUSE?!?

Why do they call the menopause the "change"?

It often is referred to as the change of life and marks the transition between a woman's childbearing years and her nonchildbearing years. Menopause is a natural part of aging and occurs as result of the gradual loss of estrogen — a hormone produced in the ovaries.

Symptoms: No menstrual periods for a year

Usual onset: Between 49-52 years of age
