You will start to get hot flashes where your entire body is hot, you are more tired and you feel more sleepy. Your monthly cycle will be off, where you may have it for just a couple of days and then it stops but then a few days later it can start up again. This can go on for a few yrs. Everyone is different but when you go through this it means no more giving birth.
