Life is funny

So I went in for my yearly exam (you girls know what that means) last week. I have stopped taking my birth control pills since I ran out in November. I thought I would see what would happen. Well, I'll tell you what happened. I became depressed, sad, angry, amused. I was probably legally certifiable for a while there. Things have leveled off somewhat, but now I break out in sweats at various times throughout the day. So, the doc ordered the blood test to see if I was indeed menopausal and guess what? I am! About fucking time. I have been in the lovely state of "perimenopause" for about 15 years for god's sake. You get many of the benefits of menopause yet you can still become pregnant! How come no one tells you about this? I never heard of it until it happened to me. Ladies, we must talk to the younger ones about this! It is a dirty little secret. Anyway, hearing that my childbearing years are officially over is very liberating somehow. Now all I need are my new little pills.
