30 bleeding years

28 replies

Blandmum · 12/03/2006 19:34

I have just realised that I have now been having periods once every 28 days (when not pg) for 30 years.

I'm fed up of them now and would like to stop, please?! Shock

You started early MB.

DumbledoresGirl · 12/03/2006 19:36

Only 28 for me.

fastasleep · 12/03/2006 19:36

Depo?

Have your bits and bobs removed?

I'm 18 and I want my uterus ripping out monthly!!

You poor, poor woman.

Thank you for making me feel very old when I sat and counted that I've been having periods for 34 years (although they've only been every 28 days since dd was born ... thank goodness for small mercies Wink)

I've had enough now too.

you were 8/9 fast asleep??!! wow.

Mercy · 12/03/2006 20:36

29 years for me.

However I suspect I'm at the beginning of the end so to speak, but in my case as the damn things are arriving slightly more frequently than 28 days, not less.

fastasleep · 12/03/2006 23:46

I think WWB was about 8 too, I shouldn't really know that about someone I don't know IRL lol!!

gibberish · 12/03/2006 23:53

22 years for me Shock Can't believe it! Even worse to think that dd1 will be starting any day now Sad

harpsichordcarrier · 13/03/2006 00:06

24 years! my god I had to count that about three times before I could believe it
sweet lord it's a life sentence isn't it?

alexsmum · 13/03/2006 00:08

sparklymieow · 13/03/2006 00:15

14 years for me.
I knew FA was young but I keep forgetting Blush So are you 18 now or 19 FA?? :)

ThePrisoner · 13/03/2006 00:32

... 33 years ... eek ... but missed one recently and GP said it could be the beginning of the end ... can't wait!!!

wabbitintheheadlamps · 13/03/2006 01:25

24 years... I'd never thought to count before, and yes it is a bit of a watershed when daughters start too.
I was just really concious that I wouldn't make a balls-up of talking to dd about periods like my mum did - she could make me shrink away in shame with the dreaded words 'your you know what'

Yorkiegirl · 13/03/2006 08:13

19 years for me.

jambuttie · 13/03/2006 08:48
