Is this ever going to end!! All of my friends have been period free for at least 2 to 3 years or longer. Here I am ,once again with tender breasts ,bloating ,eating everything in sight, and waiting for my period to start ...right on time. I feel like the oldest person out there still having regular periods. Am I the only one. ? I need to commiserate with someone.
On the plus side...my skin looks fabulous!

Oh, Kathryn, I do sympathise. My periods finished after a D & C operation at the age of 50.

At what age did your periods begin? Mine started at 11. Could this have something to do with it?

I'll be 54 in a couple of months and am still regular. I started my periods months after my 15th birthday. I have a friend who was still having periods at 60. You probably didn't want to hear that.

OMG...60!!!! Well like I said ..guess I should look on the bright side. My skin looks great.

I'm still trying to think of other positives ..my breasts look good, and when they're engorged they look great! Hardly saggy at all. Hmmm ,that's about it. ...At least I know I'm not the only one ....
thanks

I'll be 53 in a couple of weeks and still going strong and regular as ever. During a recent exam my GYN told me that he has a patient who is 57 and still regular. BTW, I too started when I was 11 but I don't think that's really a factor. Each of us is unique, starting and stopping, each with our own unique clock. I sure wish my alarm would go off though. I am ready to be done with this, especially the PMS!
