Oh dear, I hope you get the new one soon! I don't miss periods whatsoever.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
You have my sympathies, Teppy. It wasn't 10 years, but it was long enough in between periods that when I had my first one after ltc was born, I had sort of forgotten how miserable they were.

I don't miss them either. Have you read Connie Willis's "Even The Queen"? it's set in a future world in which menstruating is optional ... and some women do, indeed, choose it. For some reason.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Almost five years without a period with my Mirena, and after it was removed I had two of the worst periods I ever had. But after those, nothing. Fingers crossed for menopause! woooo being a girl sucks

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I remember that from getting my IUD out. It was NO FUN AT ALL.

I should be due for my quarterly period about now. My body is holding on to Not Quite Menopause by its fingernails.
Edit: Give it up, body! We'll be 56 in two months, there ain't no baby coming out of this factory!

My body has a different agenda for my life than I do.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Yeah, I asked my OB/GYN if I could skip a third IUD since I'm probably close to menopause, and she said "Not close enough." (I know there's a bell curve, so maybe I am about to hit menopause at 45, but I'm not willing to take that chance.)

Yeah, at 47 I was one of the younger people I knew.

I'm 53 and the Old Lady is still dragging her feet. My sister was already done by now!
