***CONGRATULATIONS*** TheOriginalMe!

I'll be 53 in December and still have regular periods - even though I now have only 1 ovary. My periods are lighter & shorter, but every month like clockwork. I understand that our bodies need to menstruate on their own schedule, but geez. I just bet I'll have periods until I'm in my later 50's. It feels kind of cruel, because it's just a reminder that I won't be having more children.
