Yeah, at 47 I was one of the younger people I knew.
I would be there right now.

[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.
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!?"

Periods are the worst part about no longer having an IUD.

Edit: Give it up, body! We'll be 56 in two months, there ain't no baby coming out of this factory!
I'm 56 and have only been period free for about 8 months.
I'm amazed by how NOT different I feel.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I have no internal/chemical BC choices open to me right now. So, it's condoms when IT happens again. If it ever does. Which, I have no real hope for in the near future.
I've considered having the ablation done and being done with it, but I just ... can't yet. It might be really stupid. It might be really, really stupid. But ... I'm just not ready to let go of that yet.

Yeah, as I was growing up, THE CHANGE was this dreaded fate hanging over every woman, and I don't think I'm feeling any different.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I've been sans period for 7 years now, and stopped estrogen treatment a year ago.
My skin is a little drier, and the hot flashes and sweats were totally disgusting, but so much better than the lady parts of doom. I do not miss you at all, uteruovaries!

Thrive to spite them
I wish Mom would understand that laughing when I tell her something related to therapy or my progress is not helpful.
Even if what I say sounds weird.
Friday I was freaked out about my car but not as much as I would have been in the past and it was kind of disconcerting and uncomfortable. Which sounds weird, I know, but it's a big deal.
