A member asked:

Stopped taking birth control pills in april. had a normal period then nothing since. i've had a few mild hot flashes. i'm 53. am i over menapause?

Well,: Indeed you are at the age when possibly a great deal of women are in menopause. It usually ends with irregularities until it stops completely. I suggest see your gynecologist who should know all this.
