Menopause is defined as the complete absence of periods for 12 months and as we know, the menopause is when a woman ceases to be fertile. The average age at which this occurs in the US is 51, but women can start being menopausal at age 40 to 50. But, in fact, what most of us think of as the menopause, or being menopausal, is actually the period of transition between the normal fertile years and the menopause itself.

The difference between primary and secondary infertility is that in the case of secondary infertility, the sufferer has already had a child or even children. Primary infertility is the inability to conceive or to carry a pregnancy to term in the first place. Quite often, the causes are similar. Whatever the cause, experiencing primary or secondary infertility can be surprising, bewildering and a cause for very real distress and grief.
Periods can often feel like an annoying fact of life that we could well do without, but in fact the existence of regular periods is an indication that the body is generally in good working order. Conversely, the absence of periods, amenorrhea, can be a signal that something is amiss. It is defined as either primary, when a girl does not start menstruating by the age of 15 or 16, or secondary, when a woman who has passed through puberty and had regular menstruation, misses three or more periods in a row.
We start a new year full of challenges and dreams, but first we would like to stop for a moment and think about everything we have experienced over the last 12 months to face the new year with the aim of continuing to grow, of bettering ourselves, of continuing to evolve, of continuing to be… View Article
