After a lifetime of irregular periods, they become regular as rain with turning 40. Also, my PMS became a thing. I probably should be medicated for those few days, but so far, I'm not.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Mine are now irregular, with bonus cramps and an upswing in hormonal crazy. I'd been taking progesterone capsules as per my GYN, and have learned they make the hormonal crazy SO MUCH WORSE.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Progesterone (a small amount, from my IUD) seems to be making everything better for me. Bodies are weird. Although, it's possible that the PMS headaches are due to that. Who knows. The headaches are weird. They don't really correlate with anything else I can think of, except menopause, and they're still happening even though the periods have stopped. Or mostly stopped.
How long does it have to be since the last period to be officially for-real over menopause and done with it all?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You can have everyone come dressed as a Downton Abbey character, to celebrate the end of period drama in your life.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Zen, yes, just like that! Two days happy, one hour euphoric, then STAB STAB KILL KILL. Now I'm into the loose joint/muscle pain portion of the non-festivities. Thanks for sharing, everyone. I've wondered recently if I was hitting peri-menopause (though now I can't remember why I thought that).
billytea, still the best.
