Funny enough my sister and I were having this same conversation last night. I'm 51 and i have four sisters ranging in ages 46 to 49 and we all still have our cycles. We have no idea when women in our family naturally go through the big M since all the older women in our family have all ended up having to have hesterctomies and never went through M naturally. Unlike you ladies, I am do a strenous exerciser. I walk everday and do a low impact aroebic class twice a week but, thats pretty much it. My sister say I should count my blessings that I still have my cycle and not experiencing all the hormonal nightmares we hear about but, Lord Almighty, I sure hope I'm not in my 60's with my cycle!!!View Thread
