Well it's about damned time. I'm 41 years old and still haven't had a period.

"She says caution is needed because there's not enough data on long-term consequences of using hormones continuously. Gordon notes menopausal women for years were told that hormone drugs would keep them young — until research uncovered unexpected risks."

Mark my words ... there will be unpleasant consequences for this. You're messing around with hormones. Suppressing them. There will be side effects. It wouldn't surprise me if permanent infertility was a result or other hormone problems. Anyone with sense should avoid this.

I can see the Lawsuits now, 5 to 20 years from now.

Edwards has been sketching future briefs all week end, so many angles, so much cash...

Most cycles have other things timed off of them. I wouldn't be surprised if this drives more things out of whack than is obvious.

Thank God. I used to bloat so.

Most doctors say they don't think suppressing menstruation is riskier than regular long-term birth control use,

I don't know why..but this reminds me of the time in the 80's when I worked at a law firm as a gopher..someone who did handy jobs around the company..I would fix lights in the coffee room..the secretaries would gather around and talk in great detail about their cycles..no punches pulled..I was trapped as I was on a ladder and could not just stop and walk away..I wouldn't say anything..but as I finished and walked out with the ladder..I would say.."Better you than me"..

A humorous short story with a somewhat different twist on this subject: "Even the Queen" by Connie Willis.

The period is "way over-romanticized," says Linda Gordon, a New York University professor specializing in women's history and the history of sexuality.

"It doesn't take long for women to go from being excited about having a period to feeling it's a pain in the neck," said Gordon,

Well, there's a couple understatements if ever I heard one.

For some women, periods can cause debilitating pain and more serious problems.

Gee, somehow I survived it every month for the past 30 years (when I wasn't pregnant or nursing).

Now, only the HEADACHE remains...

Oh, sorry, I was thinking ALL women.

Single women rarely use excuses to avoid sex...

"It doesn't take long for women to go from being excited about having a period to feeling it's a pain in the neck,"

Took about sixty seconds as I recall.
