THanks for this melissa, i shall certainly mention it - however at 51 one is hoping that mood swings and periods will soon be a thing of the past!! I thought I was already peri menopausal, but they did a FSH test and I only scored 35 - one of the chemo nurses did one too (we are the same age, and she scored 145 so she really is going through menopause)
