How do I know if I am in Menopause?
Question
I’m 45 years old. I’ve been on depo-provera for 5 years (my youngest son is 5.5 years old); how would I know if I was beginning menopause since I don’t have menstrual cycles now? Â I’ve been noticing some changes (such as I’ve been hot a lot lately when all of my life I have been cold; sleep problems, etc.) – just wondering if this is what might be happening?

The best way to gain more insight into what your body is doing is to remove the influence of the artificial hormones by not repeating your DepoProvera injection, and consulting an expert from our directory to learn how to chart the signs your body will produce. These indicators will provide valuable insight into the current status of your fertility.
