1970 >>>> 2009 and counting, but I haven't had a period since Sep or Oct, and prior to that would skip one occasionally and then resume right on schedule. I am thinking I should not buy any more "feminine hygiene products" for now. Could wind up a total waste of money, lol, not that I'd miss it!
As somebody who stayed on the Pill in part because of incapacitating cramps from 1974-2004, I will not miss my periods one whit.
I did discover the benefits of natural progesterone cream years ago when I was having hot flashes and "bladder control issues" in my early-mid 40's and only recently stopped because with missing periods I can't figure out the schedule for using it, lol!
