How frustrating!! So I guess you just have to starting counting again, right? I'm really glad I didn't even notice skipping one or two..... and at the time (28 yrs ago?) I didn't know you had to go 12 mo. without one to be in menopause. Thank heavens we are so much more educated these days!! I was fortunate because I never had another one. I still had the symptoms though!! At least 5 years of severe hot flashes, depression, mood swings, insomnia. The severity fluctuated though and eventually one or two went away. We're all so different that all we can hope for is to mimic someone who had an easy time of it. I wish that for all of you, but alas, there will be some who have a rough time. Eventually, it settles down though. Just remember, you're never going to be like in your 20's and 30's, but you can strive to be healthy and the best YOU you can be!!
