Peri-menopause or early menopause,is marked by sporadic ovulation and menstruation. If ovulation is still occurring it is best to use a condom if you wish to avoid pregnancy.
No, you can't still ovulate after menopause. Menopause is the process by which a woman's body comes to the end of it's reproductive years and the woman stops producing eggs. Although menopause can take years, once through menopause there is no more ovulation.
That is called as menopause. You can stop menstruating, some time after the age of forty five years. Most women get the menopause between forty five to fifty five years of age.
It won't, BCP have hormones that are normally present in women before menopause. Once you stop taking them your body will naturally go into menopause if you no longer have the hormones present to support ovulation and menstruation.
Menstruation is part of the menstrual cycle, a process involving ovulation and if conception doesn't occur the uterine lining is shed (menstruation) in preparation for the possibility of conception during the next cycle. Menopause is the process where you come to the end of your reproductive years, it's when ovulation starts to slow down.
Yes Menopause can change the period .Menopause is defined as the time when there has been no menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months and no other biological or physiological cause can be identified.
Yes, but the only problem is that your cycle will not be regular as it has been so you don't know when you will ovulate. This is one reason that many babies result when menopause begins. You may go two months with no period and then have one for a week in month three. Finally, after 3-6 months of no periods you will be in menopause. It is very disconcerning, so still use protection if you are sexually active.
no. a surge in LH during the middle of the ovarian cycle is responsible for ovulation.
I'm wondering the same thing! I feel like I am ovulating with increased hot flashes and heart palpitations
Yes. During peri-menopause it is usual to have irregular cycles: as eggs are still being released you can still get pregnant. However, peri-menopause usually occurs after the age of 40 which is associated with a general decrease in fertility. Your best chance would be to follow your oestradiol level and attempt to predict ovulation from that or/and monitor your temp or cervical mucus to predict a fertile time.
The time when a woman stops producing egg cells around the age of 50 is called menopause. During menopause, a woman's hormone levels decrease, leading to the cessation of ovulation and menstrual cycles.
No it is not possible to lactate into old age. Hormones levels begin to drop significantly around the mid to late 40s. This drop means no ovulation, no periods, no chance of pregnancy,and thus, no possibility of lactation. You may have heard women or physicians/nurses refer to "old eggs" and in a sense, this becomes very true in peri-menopause. In post-menopause, "eggs", "ovulation", pregnancy and lactation cease to exist.If a woman who is post menopause begins bleeding or having breast discharge (not lactation even if the fluid might look similar), she should see her doctor (sooner rather than later).
