ORIGINAL: Celeste43 I'm 52 and haven't hit it yet. My grandmother was 58 and I dread the thought of another six years of really awful cramps. Eeep! Don't tell me that. I'm hoping since I started early, I'll be done early. Surely I can't be tortured for another 20 years. --b Sorry, people with backgrounds from warmer climates start menstration early and end late. If you're Northern European (Irish, Scot, Scandinavian etc) then you start later and end earlier. It's based on the chances of an ancestor finding sufficient food to support early and late pregnancies a millenium ago. I'm seriously looking at damn near a half century of this, and that's a depressing thought.
