    Hi, I will be 47 in a few months time and I've been feeling very low, everything annoys me, mood swings, crying and feeling depressed for no reason, agitated, tired, can't get out of bed in the mornings (not me at all) and now flushes during the day (one minute sweating and the next freezing) and night sweats. Sensitivity on parts of my body. I do not have bleeding anymore but my body seems to go the other symptoms on a monthly basis. Is this the start of the Menopause?

      Hi L Anne It does sound like it, if your periods have stopped you would be classed as in the menopause. These symptoms are quite common ones too.

      Hi Alyson When an ovary is left, you would normally have the menopause at roughly the same as you would have done, had you not had the operation. The average age for this is 45-55 so you are in the normal age range. Unfortunately, without missing periods as a guide it is difficult to tell if you are in the menopause. You can only go by specific menopause symptoms (flushes and sore breasts are very common ones) but the only way to tell for sure would be to ask your doctor for a hormone test.
