So did anyone notice their skin beginning to sag more and more after menopause... ?  They say after your hormones shift you really begin to age quickly as the collegen stores disappear rapidly after that.  

I haven't noticed too much... but I started using the Genoma Derma supps and the facial cream which seems to be like a miracle cream!

Interesting question, though not being polled.
A thread on Menopausal symptoms, if not already in existence, would be Da Place.  
Thanks!

Ah, I didn't see it.  Thanks, y'all.

I didn't notice any "sagging" until I was over sixty, but I had lost a good bit of weight, so that could have been the main cause of it. However, the advantages far outweigh any little wrinkles here and there!!

Thanks for the cohosh and thyme info, Deblynn!
I am passing it on to my O friend.

At a glance, seems like O and A women experience menopause a bit earlier than our B and AB friends. hmmm.... I wonder if we (O's and A"s) begin somewhat earlier, also?

You could make a new poll asking about onset of menses.

You must be "glancing" at data I can't see. Wanna share it? Thanks!

I remember having my first period when I was 11ish. I had a partial hysterectomy in my late 40s - yes fibroids. So havent had a period since.  Turned 60 end of November this year.

San J,
There was a poll for B and AB also.
At a glance, looked like more O's and A's experienced earlier menopause.

Darlin':
I'm the one who posted that poll.
So far, only 4 people have responded to it (at the time of this posting).
One B last menstruated at 55-60, one at 50-54, and one at 45-49; one AB last menstruated at either <40 or >60.

Sorry, but there simply aren't enough data there to state that it seems O and A women experience menopause earlier than B and AB women. Do you not agree?

Hence, "at a glance"...
There were 13 O's and A's before age 54 and 5 before age 49...so, "at a glance"
just seemed like more...and yes, of course, more data needed.
Nothing to do with this poll, but I know 2 type B women; one a good friend, was 60 and the other, age 58 hasn't stopped yet.

Sorry, Cajun.
You're saying that the B/AB poll showing a grand total of 4 responses (one of which is of a B woman whose menses stopped at 55+) shows that the B allele leads to later menopause? This is simply not to be gleaned from these data.  

No, San J.....
I didn't say anything specific about the B allele leading to later menopause.
I merely remarked on what I saw at a glance between the 2 polls.  
Again, to find a real answer, additional research is needed.
