Ughhhh, I hear you. I'm 42 yo and cannot wait until I am done. I once heard a doctor say, in reference to birth control pills, the reason the 5 day pills are in the pack is so the woman can get her period. He always figured that it made a women feel more womanly. Ummm, no thanks, I really don't need that aspect of my life to feel womanly.

On a side not, try drinking raspberry tea everyday (real raspberry tea like you would get from a tea store, with little bits of dried fruit in it). It will help to regulate your hormones and help to prevent the fluctuations. Also, if you are iron defecient after, try taking a tablespoon of organic, un-filtered molasses every morning. It tastes gross, but trust me, you feel much better.
