I’m beating myself up for never doing this.
That’s one way to get bloody but please, it’s not worth it
NPR was mentioning Naomi Watts got menopause at 36, just as she was hoping to start a family. So, I guess it can be BLOOD for only 25ish years instead.
Mostly wanna mention that though, apparently a ton of people don’t know that can happen (myself included)
Apparently menopause can strike a lot sooner in women who have twins (dizygotic). Guess you lose eggs twice as fast. Very sad if that happens before you have a chance to realize/build a family.
How does that work, when we are born with more than a million eggs? It’s not like you run out and that causes menopause.
Actually, kinda yes. Men continuously produce sperm but women have a finite supply of eggs. When it runs out, overies stop producing estrogen. Some older women will use HRT to fight some of the effects of menopause, though.
