Hi there I am a newbie
![Smiley :)](https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/Smileys/extended/smiley.gif)
I am 49 and think I have been going through the perimenopause for around 8 years. Wish I had found this site a long time ago! I am having 8-10 weeks between periods now so am assuming the menopause is kicking off.
I am a breast cancer survivor and suffer from hypothyroidism. I've had a few other problems along the way, but nothing too serious!
Not sure what else to post....I am a medical lawyer and have 2 step kids and a lovely husband

No kids of my own but love children. I think they call that a baby-starved wingnut
