I think all that fooling around at a later age can get your hormones revved up again for mother nature to take one last chance. Thats what it felt like to me, anyway!

My late paternal grandma was an obstetrician until she semi-retired to become a gynecologist (you know - no on-call duties, not midnight deliveries, etc. - she actually called herself RETIRED but she did work during the days
).
So in that semi-retired stage she mostly consulted perimenopausal and menopausal women and I remember being a little girl and listening on her phone conversations. I still remember "as long as there is even a little bit of spotting...". I do not remember the continuation of the conversation, but probably she was warning women and telling them that they still should use protection.
