Yep, the bitch turned on me, I’ve been pretty good to her too. I took care of her, she let me down. Hard. While I’m not regretting the loss of my childbearing years, no, **laughs for hours, no, I’m pretty good with that. It’s just menopause is really not nice. Menopause is a screaming, unpredictable child who has had too much sugar. Menopause is like sitting on a hot poker for hours at a time. Menopause is a 400 dollar a month tampon, underwear and new clothes budget.
Menopause is fun.
Menopause is a new stage of my life that I welcome with open arms. Really, I could be dead and not celebrating this wonder.
The wonder of going from cold to roasting in an instant.
The wonder of bleeding through 17 layers of cotton, two towels and a mattress.
The wonder of my new beard. That’s cool though, people have a new beard fetish lately, I’m good to go.
I guess I’m just old, I’m going grey and getting deep wrinkles. I have random pains and the occasional limp. But hey, when I was 23, I had problems too, I’d rather be here, any day.
This shit’s a breeze, I got this.
PS: I just want my armpits to dry.
OMG sounds like a big ball of no fun at all! I’m not having this fun YET!

You are hilarious. I lost my uterus several years ago during hysterectomy and that’s okay. I am fine with it. I am sometimes not fine with the hormones and the hot flashes still but no beard yet and no bleeding. Thank god for that./ There are a few tiny silver linings to having a hysterectomy – no more periods are good. Very good.

Love it! Yeah, Pinterest moms are stockpiling diapers…we are stockpiling tampons! I gave up my uterus last month. My doc said, “Are you sure you don’t want more children?” I’m all like, “Dude! Read my chart, I’m 55! And, I have a teenager along with this nonsense.” Stopping the nonstop bleeding and back to awesome sex. My mantra!

My ute and I parted ways early. It’s probably in a museum of twisted science. But more likely, it went into whatever receptacle hospitals use to discard the parts on you that give up. No periods, no problem….that’s a lie. I still have ovaries and will get to enjoy the hot flashes with you at some point. Soon. Too damn soon. Lol. Love this post.

I loved this! I had a hysterectomy back in November (I’m 36) and wasn’t fully prepared for what was ahead. Although I got to keep my ovaries, I still experienced hot & cold flashes and night sweats for the first week or so after surgery. I drove my husband crazy (BONUS…lol) and it just wasn’t fun.

Ugh. It’s around the corner for me and I’m not looking forward to it. I had a taste of it when I was on Tamoxifen. I remember calling up my sister, sounding perplexed and angry and telling her I wasn’t just hot, but I was also nauseous and dizzy. She confirmed that’s what a hot flash is and laughed at me a little bit. Men don’t know how easy they have it.

You said ‘I could be dead and not celebrating this wonder’ and I say, this is what I think every day. Well said! I just turned 50 and 2 years ago the perimenopause started and hit me hard. I had anemia permanently and couldn’t go anywhere because of the heavy menstruations. Last December it all came to a head and I was rushed to hospital with hematocrit 16! Dropped to that in 5 days from a normal level. Docs said it was a miracle I got there alive. An emergency D&C and a total hysterectomy later fixed me for good. They took my ovaries out too to be sure. My damn uterus tried to kill me too! So I feel you. And now I celebrate surviving it every day. I don’t even mind the night sweats! I am just happy to be here 🙂 Hang in there!

Perspective is a beautiful thing – reading this a year ago… mhwa; reading this today?… hello perimenopausal, pit soaking, blood sucking, treasonous, treacherous body. Who knew, you lay in wait, preparing to attack with a ferocity and relentless determination meant to reduce my mental stability to that of a drooling lunatic, an emotional demon clinging nuttily to a spectrum ranging from song-singing happy to fist-swinging anger. Ah, yes, it is a wonder… a wonder my spouse is alive, a wonder I haven’t attacked and beaten the guy in the coffee line ordering for ten via cell, a wonder I haven’t danced myself off a mountain top, and yes, a wonder that for all it’s roller-coater-like fun, I get to be here on the right side of the dirt to experience it. If it doesn’t kill me, it only makes me stronger…. right?@#!*&%
