I am 54, and have been on the pill since 2004. I had completed chemo for Non-Hodgkins 10 years ago and my doctor did not want me to experience the effects of menopause in my early 40 s. Now at 54, I have high blood pressure and she wants me to stop the low dosage pill. What will the side effects be? I haven t had a period in years, and she observed in an vaginal ultrasound that my overies have gotten smaller. I am mostly worried about the side of effects of menopause. By the way, I am completely cancer free.

Summarized question: What are the side effects of menopause ?
