You are lucky. The moments continue through menopause. Mine were not regularly scheduled (expect when I had an IUD, that was the worst year). Now that I am playing the menopause game, on those months were I actually get a period, look out. Some months are so bad that I contemplate performing my own hysterectomy, fortunately, Costco does not carry scalpels but I have eyed the Dyson vacuum cleaner.

Mark goes in cycles and some of them are real doozers - he goes into his cave and sulks (or whatever).
