Just a vent post!

I will be 53 in July. My last period was in July of last year. Last week I had some mild cramping on my left side - kind of like I would have if I were ovulating. The past few days I have alternated between feeling annoyed with everything, anxious or so sad I was crying and not really understanding why I was crying. And just a few minutes ago - I started to feel that familiar ache in my breasts.

I am not going to be a happy camper if I have another period. I just want this DONE!

    I can certainly understand why you want to be done.. I'm 50 and ready myself. Yesterday I was really annoyed as well-- couldn't wait till bedtime and today I started a heavy period-- no spotting just heavy.. joy...

      ohh my friend is 56 her last period was a good 12 months ago and Dr said she was in menapause... She had her period last month so she is not in meno. She was very happy to still have it due to the aging process-- she thinks her life will go downhill once in meno.

    I hear you! I went 11, almost 12 months and then had so many symptoms and refused to acknowledge them until bam here's a period. That was in January and I've had a regular 27 day cycle since then. I really thought I was done and dusted. 😕
