A member asked:

Can you please tell me how menopause and pragnancy differ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Opposites: In both conditions, periods stop, but that's where similarities end. In menopause you have symptoms of hormone deficiency (night sweats, hot flashes, spaciness, fatigue) in pregnancy you get symptoms of high hormone levals (swollen tender breasts, naussea, early fatigue, later a surge of energy, sometimes food cravings.
