After Menopause

Katcat1 · ‎07-21-2011

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.
