Just when you think the end is in sight....

It's been seven months since my feminine cycle last intruded into my life. Seven. And now it decides to kick off the New Year. Oh yay! At least there won't be any question about "When was the last time

I mean, I know the cycle gradually slows down and then stops, but how common is it to be gone for 7 freakin' months, only to start back up again?

It seems to be reasonably common, but all I'll say is that it doesn't always slow down (this year my cycle has been anything between 23 days and 6 days, so sometimes it gets more frequent... and has been for the last two f**king years for me).

God, I love being a woman. [/sarcasm]

Ain't that the truth...

All I can say is welcome to my world, except that despite staring my 50th birthday in the face in less than two weeks, mine still plagues me, to the extent of becoming more frequent rather than less... The last one (6 days after the previous one finished) has me looking to scream at my GP as soon as I can get an appointment! Meanwhile, I feel your pain!

Eeek! I'd definitely rather be me than you. Last year, I had two cycles, the year before, three. Or maybe four. Anyway, it's a far cry from the days when I could plot events months in advance because I was THAT regular!

Oh, man, do I get that. My last one started the day I went to Mexico for vacation. I think I'll remember that one, too.

I suppose it could've been worse, like during the run-up to Christmas. Although if it had started last Sunday, it would be tapering off before I had to go back to work tomorrow.

Seven months? *envy* My 5-day cycle has decided to stretch to 7 and 8 days the last couple of months, the bitch.

Oh dear!

Seven months?

And now it shows up?

Wow!

It remains to be seen if it's a full-scale assault or just a skirmish. (Having just gone out and spent $8 on supplies, I hope it's worth it.)
