Menopause...A Dirty Word!!!

I think the reason I have not posted in a few weeks is because I found out that I am in full blown menopause. Well, that and greenhouse season...but mostly menopause.

I am a woman of 41, I feel young...I am married to the man of my dreams now. I have two amazing kids from a former marriage. My girl is a freshman in college, my boy is  a Jr. in high school. I was REALLY wanting to have a child with my great husband.

I had my tubes tied (clamped) after the birth of my son...the Jr. When I met my husband I thought we would have time to have it reversed. We went last year to a Dr. and found our it would be 30k. We were not able to do that. It would take paying off several bills, and saving money.

The last time I had my period was during the super bowl. I sported my Green Bay Jersey at the hospital. I was crampy, and a bit cranky. I went with a smile on my face, and joked with those having to be in the hospital. I didn't know that...that,would be my last period.

After having no period...even though my tubes were tied....I was soooooooooooo hoping I was preggers. Hubby, and I so want a child. Well many non-periods later...and many negative tests.... I made a Dr. appointment.

Well, it turns out, that I am rare. I am in full blown menopause at 41.  Guys that read this...I get that you might not understand.

Women, shit I don't know. I felt like I had time. I felt like I am not old enough to worry. I so wanted kids with my husband...this is so very hard for me to understand that my body will NEVER let that happen.

I must say I feel less as a woman not to EVER be able to give a child. I feel less of a woman to face the fact that I have hit this place in life early.

I am not gonna lie, this  is very upsetting to me.

I am not really sure to go with this.

I think that is all I have to say about that.
