I seem to have had peri-menopausal symptoms for a couple of years. I have read somewhere that high levels of oestrogen in your system (?) can stop/delay you going through the menopause, and this can be caused by being overweight. I have a few stone to shift, which is a work in progress, but I am 53, and getting a bit naffed off now. Any body throw any light on this, or have I mis-read something? TIA
