I stopped menstruating suddenly at age 40. (wasn't doing lc at the time) I thought I was pregnant, and the urine pregnancy test was in fact positive. But a subsequent ultrasound showed no sign of a fetus so they did a blood test which showed the first test to be a false positive one.

I never had any other symptoms although since then I find find I'm less tolerant of both hot and cold temperatures. Cold when it's merely cool out, hot when it's merely warm.

So the main effect of menopause for me has been a drastic increase in our gas and electric bill!
