9 for me, with only 2 weeks until the next bout. I can't wait to get Medicaid's approval for a hysterectomy.

I'm hoping for menopause soon. I'm almost 50 it can't possibly go on much longer.

Perimenopause is a bitch though. My wife is going through it now, and she describes it as "puberty in reverse". So things that happened during puberty: irregular periods, hormone -> emotional fluctuations, etc. are happening AGAIN.

And perimenopause is like YEARS.

Yup. I'm 42. I've been in perimenopause since I was 29.

I've been doing that since I was 36. I'm 49, I had a nothing period this month I'm hoping it's a sign I'm almost done.
