OMG!!! Is this menopause stuff just like being pregnant!!??

I've had the heavy periods for a long, long time but my labs had said awhile ago I wasn't quite to menopause yet. For the last 2 months I have felt totally pregnant -- nausea, bloating, eating too much, dizzy, and my last 2 "periods" have been 1-2 days of pink spotting only when I wipe. I took a PG test a couple of weeks ago and it was negative. Did any of you have "periods" and feel like this?? Uuugghhh.

I most definitely did! Thought I was pregnant multiple times. I'd feel like that for a while.. then it'd go away... then back again. Very annoying!

Lol ... my tag up there wasn't supposed to say "trying for a baby." This sure sucks though!

Well I took a pg test ... results ... officially OLD!!! 😔

Lol

Yep perimenopause

Menopause is not a fun stage but once it's over life feels good.

Yes. I feel permanently pregnant. But with completely haywire heavy periods between 48 days and 14 day cycle. Its all gone batshit here! Im exhausted, Im bloated, Im dizzy, Im horny, Im nightsweating for England, Im spotty(!!!). Im 50! Too much already. Only thing I am not, is grumpy and I truly believe that is because I do yoga everyday 😊 Im
not having any emotional stuff.

Child support

If a woman has been with a man who is not the biological father, but has signed the birth certificate and made threats, touched her inappropriately, and tried to contact Child Protective Services (CPS) on her behalf, can he sue her if he claims he’s not the father? If so, can she get a blood test to determine paternity and then remove him from the birth certificate? Also, if she puts him on child support?

Trying to remain positive!

This test is 9dpo, this is following a chemical pregnancy so I am trying to remain positive but its really hard! I feel like the line should be stronger? Anyone had similiar and it got stronger?

Advice for ways to have a baby?

I ended up getting pregnant on a one night stand, and I’ve been a single mom the last 5 years. I thought I’d have met the one by now, but it hasn’t happened, and I want another baby. My daughter asks me every single day for a sister. We are both ready to expand our family, and I can handle being a single mom of two. I just don’t know what method of expanding our family is right for us. Any advice?

Fostering in my area will be near impossible for us. I looked into this first, and they have very strict restrictions for who can foster non familial children.
