good question. there are a lot of different signs of menopause and you can learn about them by checking on wdxcyber then go to menopause. if you have some of the accompanying signs it may be menopause - but your doctor is the one to give you the bottom line so make an appointment and have it checked out

good advice rosemary. there are many symptoms that come with menopause - the lose of your period is just one of them. definitely go to the doctor to find out more

easier said than done, i know - but one way is to lose a lot of the weight and see if your period comes back. losing the weight will be good for you for other reasons too - but i know it's not such an easy thing to do!

babygoodwin is right. sometimes being really overweight causes problems in areas you dont really think about. if you cant lose the weight on your own maybe you can join weightwatechers or something like that. and see the doctor.

one factor to know if you are in menopausal stage is your age. you would know if you are just overweight when you are still young to have your menopause but you don't have your regular period.
