I’ve been planning it for ages. Everyone will wear blue because there’s going to be no more red, except for the cake – red velvet! A menopause party, a celebration to mark the “official” end of my child-bearing years. Women are menopausal 12 months after their last period.
The date for me should have been the end of November; I’d gone months without a period. It’s also a week after my 55th birthday. I wanted to have my cake and eat it! Sadly, the party needs to be delayed, because another period arrived. I’m frustrated to still be perimenopausal, that desolate stage between fertility and menopause – no-man’s (woman’s) land.
