I imagine that most other Gorgeous Forties have had at least one child. I haven't. Of course, there's still time... ish. Whereas when I was younger I used to cry when I got my period each month, these days, I thank the Universe.
My cycle has always been pretty erratic - two periods a month, so a 14 day cycle for a good many years. But I've been on a fairly consistent 28 day cycle for the last 10 years or so. Then about 3 or 4 months ago, it started to change to 26, then 24, 23 - I have to say I did start to panic mildly. I reframed it as 'more opportunities to get pregnant' but given that we only have an infinite number of eggs, I wasn't really convinced. But this month - it's back up to 26 days. Naturally, I'm hoping that next month will see it back to 28. It's exactly 7 days to my 40th birthday so it would be pretty young for the menopause to be starting... wouldn't it?
I apologise if the M word is too sensitive a subject to be blogging about, but surely I can't be the only blogger here at Gorgeous Forties to be preoccupied by my menstrual cycle?
