MYTH #2
If you haven’t had a period in several months, you can go off the pill and assume you’re in menopause.
WRONG!
For many women, irregular periods may last several years. The best way to determine whether you have gone into full blown menopause is when you have gone one complete year (12 months) without having a menstrual cycle.
Going off the pill during your erratic periods is not a good idea because you may be vulnerable to getting pregnant.
I’m Taking my Hot Flashes on Tour!
This week I'm kicking off my summer book tour with "Whatever! A Baby Boomer's Journey Into Middle Age." Tagging along with me will be the seven dwarfs of menopause (along with some of their annoying cousins). I'd love to leave them at home with my husband but, just like me, he's had to endure them and, bless his heart, they've been harder on him sometimes than on me. So I'm packing them up and taking them with me. Oh what fun this should be...me, and hot flashes, having one HOT time!
On Wednesday, I'll be doing an interview on Fox 8 in High Point, NC and Thursday, I'll be in Charlotte on Fox 18 "Fox News Rising"...followed by a book signing ay Park Road Books. If you're in the area, please stop by and say hello...and drop off some of your own hot flashes!
And to top it all off I'll be turning the big 5-0 on June 21!
