Hi everyone,-I have been wondering if any of you believe in menopause? Since it is a sign of aging I don't believe you do. How would you prevent menopause? NO PAUSE, MEN! -Another thing, this is old news but did you guys ever read the time magazine article that a woman will most likely become barren at the age of 40 or more, and the best time to have kids is at 26 to 35? -Gee, Talk about Mental Gravity why don't ya?

Star, yes I do believe in it, because I have experienced some of the symptoms of it. I had a complete hysterectomy at age 29 am now 31 1/2 and hot flashes, night sweats, severe mood swings were not figments of my imagination. There were days and nights as a matter of fact that I literally thought my body would have spontaneous combustion. I now take hormone replacement and thank my lucky stars literally for it. I tried to go au natural for about 3 days...I couldn't make it...IP: Logged |

According to Linda, the menstrual cycle is related to Karma and will end at a certain point in a woman's Life, but it has nothing to do with conception. I have heard true accounts of women in their sixties getting pregnant and carrying to full term (documented in the New England Journal of Medicine). So, it's not the menstrual cycle that allows conception, but the two are merely thought to be related. Older women generally do not bear children due to the fact that the body breaks down, and the child-bearing ability is biologically the first to go. At least that's what Linda said about the subject. But menopause itself is probably related to aging. I'm unsure, though.  ------------------

StarLover, I must compliment that lovely little lexi!  Bible (I-LIE) says Sarah gave birth to a child at the "age" of 98.  Randall, thank you for explaining. It makes sense. IP: Logged |

I can't agree with Randall better.Yet, why should Women have menstural cycles? I have known you are generally emotionally low during the three days - but what is the point in nature's scheme? Biologists, haven't yet come up with a satisfactory answer. IP: Logged |

It seems simply correlational that the menstrual cycle involves discharge of an egg, since prgnancy can occur regardless. ------------------

Are we talking biology here? The egg (as well as the sperm) is necessary for conception. The "blood" is a preparation(nurishment) for the fertile egg to nest in until the umbilical cord develops. If the egg isn't fertilized the "blood" isn't needed so the body gets rid of it....Am I confused? Maybe in a physically immortal body the whole process isn't necessary? Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing!!! Make it so!!! I believe in fairies!!! But until that day happens we have to put up with the physical symptoms of the whole process?

But healthy pregnancies do occur in menopausal women. ------------------

You're right Randall, they do. And get this, there was a recent article published (can't remember where) that some women now are taking, what I call karma's nature (Aunt Flow's visit each month) into there own hands so-to-speak by stopping it altogether. They do not do this surgically, but do so by means of the birth control pill. What happens is, after the 3rd week is over and the "sugar pills" begin, the sugar pills become null and void... in other words, the women do not take the sugar pills, they start over with a new set of birth control pills! So instead of taking the BC every 4 weeks, they start over with them every 3 weeks. This causes the women's cycle to gradually stop. I remember reading that the doctor's in the article were saying that it was actually more healthier for a woman NOT to have her monthly cycle! I don't take BC pills nor do I want to(did that, done it, won't do it again) so Aunt Flow visit's me when she wants - however, after my negative karma is transmuted into positive, she's outta here baby!!! bon voyage!

Fruitarians also stop their Aunt Flo. Docs have a name for it (as if it's a dis-ease).  ------------------

Literally  out loud!! I can believe it though. When docs seem to find no "logical" explanation they attach a dis-eased name or syndrome to the so called "problem". Ahh me! One "day" they'll come around. One day...  eternal IP: Logged |

It is my belief and my experience that there are many meno-pauses for women. Pregnancy and lactation cause natural "pauses" in the menstrual cycle. After age 40 or so, natural "pauses" also occur. Of course a woman is born with over 200,000 eggs(plenty for eternal life!!!). If a woman chooses regeneration, these "pauses" can occur many, many times. In between pauses are normal, fertile, ovulatory menstrual cycles. I started my "pauses" at age 46 and have conceived two pregnancies since (one was twins) during the intermittent fertile phases. So far I have experienced about five or six pauses that last from two to five lunar months, intermittent with fertile phases. My husband and I are hoping to have several more children. We are both choosing regeneration. I think most women experience menopause as one long pause beginning usually in the late 40's or 50's and stretching until the end of her life because like death itself, a limiting belief system most human simply accept, she has accepted the limiting belief system of one menopause that will end her child-bearing years permanently. To answer the original question, no I don't believe in menopause the way it experienced by most women.IP: Logged |

I'm 50, and my ob/gyn is confused. He wants me to be menopausal because he's afraid I'll get pregnant. It scares the hoot out of him when I tell him my great grandmother gave birth to my grandfather at age 51.
If I do, I do. But after over two dozen misscarrages in my fertile life and one lovely grown son,...I'm not expecting a pregnancy to happen before "i change"... But who knows....IP: Logged |

Ummmm, I was going to post this in HAH- but this is another coinkidink- and that's because aunt flow has stopped visiting.
And I'm not making a baby, and the Doc's think it's the pill thinning my lining.
But the only thing I have been doing differently is my diet. I am eating raw.
And I havent' told the Dr. that because he will put it on my record that I'm not the whole enchalada.
I still eat some dairy. Could it be my diet?
But I feel well, and energetic.
I don't like taking the Pill. I want to stop, I know they're dangerous.
hmmmm.------------------

That was a quote from raj_105_2001
Um... three days?????
Are you kidding?
I have issues in the idea of 'believing' in menopause.
Admittedly, I have yet to read gooberz, and since I am in the beauty/pharmacology industry, I see and deal with 'aging issues' on a daily basis.
So I am not educated enough to be open minded enough to accept that by sheer will you can not age.
But I am willing to open a bit more.
But believing in it?
Menopause is real. Whatever the cause. (hormonal)

It's your diet. Raw foodists generally don't experience cycles. But they can still get pregnant. ------------------

Wow that happens fast!
I eat so much fruit and veggies that I don't get hungry, but I still crave the cooked stuff.
Maybe I'm going at it too fast.
I can be a bit over the top when it comes to those sorts of things, but I feel ok.
I'm just eager to become a fruitarian.
