    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.

            To add to that, although women have millions of eggs to start with, most of these don’t mature and you even lose about a quarter before your first period. The idea is that women with dizygotic twins have increased maturation, causing a higher incidence of releasing two eggs simultaneous and that also leads to faster decreases in eggs. At menopause most women have no eggs left in the ovaries.

              Huh. That’s interesting. My personal experience of fertility was that pregnancy happened as fast in my late 30s as it had in my 20s, so I thought they just came out 1 or 2 each month and the rest sort of just stopped developing when you went through menopause (both menarche and menopause were kind of late for me, though). I do use HRT (MHT is what they call it) but certainly not to get fertility oh heck no. It keeps away migraines and helped my thinking as well as bone mass.

      No, post nut clarity makes you realize you wasted a bunch of water when you could have done it before you went into the shower.

          Yeah. No matter with how much pressure it shoots out, it’s simply no match for the showerhead. Disappointing.

    What a coincidence, while gathering myself in the shower after after a bloody turf war against my rival gangsters, I pretend to be a woman having a period.

    Not specifically gangs, but yeah. I remember when I was younger I read a book about a girl who snuck into the army and did cool shit. Absolutely was going in the shower after successful, but dangerous espionage. Bonus points if I could do the whole performance of holding my side/arm while going in.
