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.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

[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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
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.)

Our wings are not tired.
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!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
It hit blessed me around 47, too. I have not missed the red menace.
