Ok so I have 3 children and have started on the injection to avoid having any more.
But I have a theory about being on the injection.
A terrible, troubling theory.
Here are my premises:
- Menopause happens when I run out of eggs
- I am fertile up until I run out of eggs
- I run out of eggs by releasing most, and a few dying
- I don't release eggs on the injection
- Therefore I am just delaying my fertility, and I'm going to get to 50+ with all my little eggs nice and intact and be fertile up to like bloody eighty YEARS OLD!
Please somebody explain to me why I am wrong.
I'm 26 now, so I've got another entire LIFETIME in which to avoid a surprise.
Surely if I'm not releasing eggs, they're just sitting there until I come off the injection. And all of those years when normally you're releasing one a month and usually bleeding it out aren't going to happen. So my eggs will last far longer than if I were not on the injection. And menopause won't hit until I get rid of them all, which will only start to happen again once I come off the injection, which isn't going to be for DECADES.
No?
TIA
