i guess im just getting the middle-age spread , honey.-women do that at my age , you know.-im forty-one now , and its to be expected.-its been almost three months , now , since ive had a period.-im hoping that whole monthly thing is over this time.-ive been a little irregular for almost a year.-i missed three periods in a row last year about this time.-at first i was scared to death i was pregnant , but it was just menopause .
