To be absolutely FUCKING FURIOUS that my period has started

[MaryZeZJezuzIzntZombiedYet]

because I'm 50. And I've been having periods since I was 12. Every fucking 28 days like fucking clockwork (apart from the infertility drug years).

And then in November I missed one, and I thought "whoopee, that's it, all over, done with menopause here I come.

I was wrong. Christmas was like a scene from the Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

And then January nothing, nada, zilch (yippee).

And now, here we fucking go again.

Disclaimer: I will not be responsible for my actions if anyone is unwise enough to inform me AIBU.

So you had better all ignore this thread.

I hear you. I'm as angry as you. I want them to stop YESTERDAY. Why can't my body realise that I am sterilised FFS, ergo, not needing bastard periods every sodding month. Ones that make, nay force me to drop/throw/maim things through lack of co-ordination.

I think we should have a petition.

Is this a good thread to mention my stuck coil and clots the size of hamsters? The coil that is all embedded and will not budge despite repeated yanking.

YANBU

Therefore

think we should have a petition.

I think we should have a switch I too am sterilised and why dont they stop they bloody well should have stopped but no

I feel for you, as I was you MaryZ, till I had my hysterectomy. As littlewhitebag said, it cures all.

I know freddie.

I avoided going on the pill because I thought stupidly that the pill might reduce my chances of conceiving.

And then I discovered the reason my periods had been so awful was that I had endometriosis, which was causing my infertility and the cure was - guess what - getting pregnant or going on the pill

Very true mrsjay grin

Like those pads you get post labour that are super absorbent but you end up about 5 inches higher than normal when in a sitting position!

And [arf] at the fact that no-one has had the courage to tell told me I am being unreasonable

Sooooo what does one have to actually do to get a hysterectomy? Bung the surgeon a couple of hundred? Cosy up to them?? OH NO WAIT! I can't as I have a seemingly permanent period and may also hit him/her with a mallet for NO REASON WHATSOVER.

Trés cathartic this ranting malarkey

Weasel - that's why I'm afraid to get "treatment" - for lots of people of my age the cure seems to be worse than the disease.

Shakey, here you have to have an unstoppable haemorrhage and get taken to hospital by ambulance and have the bleeding continue until you nearly die.

At least, that seems to be the criteria .

I've asked DD1 so many times how her periods are and told her that if they are grim she must go on the pill that she thinks I'm a weirdo but she thinks that anyway

Like those pads you get post labour that are super absorbent but you end up about 5 inches higher than normal when in a sitting position!

least they were comfy our hospital used to give net pants to go with them now those were sexy

Given that John Wayne's real name was Marion, there is a very real possibility that he was a menopausal woman with an NHS pad in his chaps.
It would explain the narrowed eyes, the seething and the tendency to shoot stuff.

Oh MaryZ, just wait. I am 53 and have done the period every other month bit... and I've done the period every 2 weeks bit... and am now into the don't have a period for months then, once you are lulled into a sense of false security and think it's all over, or even dare to go out without an Always in your bag, they come back.

The plus point of chin hairs going grey is that they are less noticeable!

Lois On a serious note, it is scandalous that sanitary protection has VAT on it. Wouldn't happen if men menstruated.

I feel your pain MaryZeZ' but unfortunately cannot offer you any hope. I have been in you position many times over the last 2 years, think the fuckers have stopped and then whoosh the bloody bloody floodgates open. Every time I pray 'please let this be the last one'.

I thought I would be like my DM, she had a very easy early menopause at 39' periods stopped and she never had another one. Bugger!

I'm not so happy with people telling me this will go on for years, you know . Didn't your mother ever warn you about what happens to messengers?

And yes to John Wayne and his mega-sanitary-ware. He was generally about as unpleasant as I fee atm.

Oh yes. And dh knows I am putting up with this shit and awaiting a further hospital appointment yet has just announced he now wants to get a divorce / separation formalised ASAP. Despite the fact we are still having to live together.

Its been 8 weeks since I called him on his shitty behaviour. This is long enough for him to throw in the towel rather than get help and fucking counselling.

I hope his fucking insides fall out, so I can kick the fucking boot in.

I feel

Huh, I can't even type.

Oh, Weasel, I'm sorry

I didn't like to ask. I thought he might have realised he was a fuckwit and tried to pull his socks up a bit.

I assumed id be finished in the few years seems not

seeing as we are sharing I flooded today right through I was about it frigging clots

Maryz. He did. He has clearly got bored of it now

Thankyou. A runty thread is a great gift.

Now I can't get that image of John Wayne out of my head.
