Dec 28

Had a couple months where I just hemorrhaged for 24 hours, then nothing for a couple months, then another deluge. From there? Not a peep. No hot flashes, no nuthin’.

Mind, I did take black cohosh for a while, and often vitex (chasteberry), which evens out your hormonal fluctuations (good from menarche to menopause). Still seems odd to have passed through such a milestone without really noticing it. I was at my annual exam and the doc asked when my last period was and after much thought, I had to admit I thought it was over a year.

So now I become cool?
