I am so sorry, Epic.
'Safe'
Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Things nobody told me about getting older: the length of my cycle keeps getting shorter. Apparently that happens when your ovaries get old? I do not need MORE erupts, y'all!!! Also, I think more cramps. But maybe that's just my "I took pain meds this afternoon and then forgot to take more until after they wore off" talking.

JZ is having this issue. Or rather more specifically her cycle is short and highly regular now where it used to be irregular in her youth and not uncommon to have only a handful during the course of a year.
I kind of think that's JZ's info to share? I dunno but it's weird to me for you to share it...?
meara I'm having the same issue. I talked to the doctor about perimenopause she said that they could come as frequently as every 14 days and then kind of stop.
A shorter cycle is the main reason I wanted an IUD. I mean, yes, also for birth control -- we don't need any more babies 'round here! But I really wanted not to have to worry about bleeding through my clothes every 22 days. Ugh.

I miss my Mirena for that reason alone. I didn't have a period for 10 years and it was fantastic. But now that it's back, it's pretty short, so it's tolerable.
I have to say, menopause has been my favorite thing ever, aside from the hot flashes. Those I could live without. But as a trade-off for cramps and heavy bleeding? Manageable.
Menopause rocks!
I think I seriouisly lucked out in the menopause stakes. I've had a couple of mild hot flashes--a desperate need for a fan as opposed to dripping in sweat--but other than that it's been little more than a "Gone Fishin'" sign hung up on my uterus.
