    Hi there! I'm 47 and have the same issues. I do believe and have been told by my doctor that it is in deed premenopause! YUCK!!! There are times when I feel like I'm going to start anytime, and then it takes it a week to get here. Then there are other times just out of the blue! The length between times is extremely unpredictable. I used to be like a clock. They have put me back on the pill at times to regulate me, but that makes me really nauseous. All I can say, is Good Luck and always be prepared!

    I would love to know if anyone has suggestions on how they have handled the situation.

    I am close to 47 and I have been premenopausal since I was 35, more than one period a month, skipping months, hot flashes, night sweats.......it's a friggin blast. There really is not a whole lot you can do but be prepared.

    I'm not sure you should be "worried" about it. I was told a lot of it has to do with how old your mother and grandmother were when they went thru menopause. But there can be other reasons for hormonal changes and you should be talking with your doctor to be sure.

    I want to know when do the hot flashes and night sweats stop. I was around 48 when I realized I was premenopausal. The dwindling periods was my clue. I thought the night sweats were because of the hot weather. I lived in Kansas at the time. :laugh: I finally realized I was actually going through menopause. I always said I would have such an easy time going through menopause I wouldn't even know I was going through it. :laugh: That's pretty much the way it was for a while too. For a couple years it seemed I was finally over it but then the hot flashes and night sweats started up again. :grumble: All part of being a woman I guess. Donja just love it? :ohwell:

    I have no clue when the stop! If only we had these answers!!! :laugh:

    My sister is 10 years older than I am and still has night sweats....I am going to be 48 next month. That is not really very encouraging at this point......:sad:
