I'm almost at MP too and I agree that it is a time of new energy and renewed faith in myself. I have started working out and come back to low carb, journaling and faith that it will happen this time.

My Gyno put me on Prometrium (which is "natural" progesterone to oppose the estrogen that I still produce) for 14 days every 3 months to get the period going and keep down the month long bleeding. One year, no period means menopause has set in.
So far I've had a period each time but heck one every four months isn't too bad.

My emotions have evened out and even sex seems more enjoyable. Less self-conscious from the weight loss and my head is on straighter!
