I logged onto Facebook today and was scrolling through the newsfeed. As I was doing that I came across ads for menopause.
I am 37 years old. Will be 38 on December 24th. Why the heck am I seeing these ads?
I never spoke to anyone about menopause—not online, not on the phone, not in person. Heck, I didn't even think it or say it out loud. And I did not read any articles about this or search for it on Google.
So why the heck are they popping up?

This is something most women are concerned. I was one of those then. I dreaded the time when it would come but when it comes it's just normal. Thanks I didn't experience what they say are hot flashes and other discomforts. I may have but just didn't notice and took it as just normal at all.

@lovebuglena I don't think they're solely for you could be only by chance.

They got us mixed up. I’m 60, so I should have had them.

What if Facebook is assuming that menopause starts on a woman's late thirties? Which would be so wrong. I don't know what to think about social media these days!

Apparently, it can start that early. I had no idea.

Facebook may be experimenting with something because they have our personal details
