After Menopause

Katcat1 — Tue, 07 Jul 2020 18:16:34 GMT

Thank goodness it is over but............. These are few things that happened to me after Menopause.

Hair on head thinned a little

No longer have to shave legs -- hair stopped growing

No longer have to shave underarms -- hair stopped growing

weight gain

My eyebrows continue to grow so I need to tweeze every few days.

How about you? What changes have you noticed?

I have to exercise more often or harder and watch my diet. Several days of junk food and immediately 3 lbs. are put on which, unlike when I was younger, takes much longer to lose.

I only shave my legs and under my arms about twice a year, whether I need it or not. I love that! My hair is no longer oily at all so I only wash my hair once a week instead of every other day. I am losing a little bit of my hair around my left temple area, but no one has noticed it but me. Not having a period anymore is the best advantage of growing old as far as I am concerned!

Still have to shave and have hair growing in places I never thought I would see. Hair is thicker and more unruly and I am tired all the time.

@Katcat1 I went into full menopause at 47. I am65 now. Like you, never have to shave my legs or underarms. I do get a few hairs above my lip...I just take a dry bic shaver to my face once a week. Get rid of peach fuzz and anything else, plus it is a good exfoliating thing to do!

I also have gained a few pounds..in my belly ...I hate it! I Always had a flat stomach before. I try to keep on eye on my weight....eat healthy...exercise....but I could easily lose 10 pounds🙁

I have a bit of thinning at my temples....not bad but I KNOW it is there.

All in all my health is good. On no medication at all. I have had both knees and both hips replaced since 2015....that saved my life and made me whole again. So grateful for my bionic limbs🙂❤️

Wish MIL was still here. She was the one who told me about other bits that turn grey too. And I was in my 50s and shocked to the core. Nice to have another laugh with her.

I still have to shave my legs, but only maybe once a month, so I'm not complaining! I agree that it moved to my chin....lol! My hair has become wonky - very frizzy on the right side and straight as a string on the top and left side...and my eyebrows have no rhyme or reason to them. A few gray ones and the rest grows in whatever direction they choose!

Oh I still have the leg and underarm hair. The problem is that it moved to another place! 😠

Who knew we would be able to grow a beard?😳😠 I could go on but I will leave it there. I just wish I still had some estrogen.😔

I am 70 and would give anything to have my “monthly visitor” visit again. Menopause is not fun what it has done to my body, skin, hair! 😱😢

Uggghhhh...I just entered menopause last year. I'm so tired of sitting in my nicely air conditioned living room and all of the sudden breaking out into a sweat! This is total BS!

For those who need help in that area, ask you PCP about Premarin cream . I am totally anti-meds about everything, but I do use Premarin cream.
