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.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

[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.

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.

That which does not kill you should RUN
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!

It hit blessed me around 47, too. I have not missed the red menace.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Yeah, when I went off BC pills, the first couple of periods (or rather, pre-period symptoms) were astonishing. Like, worse than I ever remember them being before. I couldn't make up my mind if I was just misremembering or if my Lady Parts were like, "Control US for years on end?! Screw you, lady! How you like me now!?"
