I'm almost 52....not quite in menopause but smack in the middle of peri-menopause. I don't care. I want the factory to be done already. Shut this shit down! I contributed my 3 children to the cause of humanity, you're welcome, it's all you get.

I think there's a fear, based on the culture of youth worship we seem to have, to admit we're no longer of childbearing age, as if we're no longer youthful or vital because we can't reproduce.

I'm the opposite, every period fills me with anxiety and that faint possibility I may, at this age become pregnant. I like my life. I like my freedom. The clocks ticking on the 12 months and I will throw a damn party! Just sayin'
