Menopause is a normal part of life. Allow yourself time to adjust to what you are experiencing and try to get support from others, especially from your partner and family. If they understand what you are going through it will help them know how they can best support you.
Don't forget about contraception!
- If you are less than 50 years, the general advice is you still need contraception for two years after your final menstrual period (FMP).
- If you are 50 years or older when you reach menopause, you need to continue to use contraception for at least one year after your final period.
