:confused I just spent 3 hours mowing foot deep grass wearing no deodorant and I have no scent under my arms. I haven't worn deodorant in several days.

My nose is working perfectly. Everything else smells the same.

I noticed that too, but thought it was just me! :yes

:nod I think it is a nice bonus. Plus the after shaving the hair doesn't grow back as fast and my underarm skin is smooth and creamy.

All my life I had horrible heavy bleeding periods and mind numbing cramps. I feel like menopause is my reward for all those awful years.

It truely is. I can put up with the occasional night sweats and even laugh about them, but I don't miss having TOM for anything in this world.

Re: Menopause Question

Hello everyone! I haven't ever posted here, but I do qualify (51)! Have lurked occasionally, and like it a lot!

Anyway... I noticed exactly the same thing: No underarm odour any more and slower re-growth of body hair. I put it down to Atkins, as it coincided with my starting the diet, and took it as a bonus, but of course it could be the menopause. Before starting Atkins, I had four period free months and hot flashes etc. I thought: Yay! This is it! After starting on this WOE though (January 2005), my periods instantly started up again with monotonous regularity... until this month! Now I seem to be in another pause... Go figure!

So... who knows? I've never really heard of anyone losing body odour after the menopause, but that might just be my ignorance...

Anyone else noticed the same?
