So, um... yeah
I've been a little nervous about the big 3-0 looming later this year, not because I'm worried about getting "old," but because I'm worried about the fact that my mom went into menopause quite early - I had quite the interesting chat with her the other day.She used to be fairly regular, then when she was right around my age, her periods started becoming more and more spaced out, until finally by around age 33 or so they were so far apart they were pretty much every other month. She had her final period at the age of 42.
I didn't really need to hear this a couple of months after I started going longer between periods. Even when I wasn't on BC, I used to be every 27, 28 days or so. I noticed they'd been a little further apart last year, but chalked it up to stress. However, my last 4 periods have all been 35-37 days apart.
I have my mom's hands - do I have her uterus, too? Yet another confirmation that it's time.
