Looks like whoever you offended deleted their comment. Hope it wasn't too bad.
The cessation of menstruation is an idea that brings me mixed emotions. The "normal" state for a fertile female of our species is pregnant or breast feeding. We are made to have lots of babies, one at a time. It is completely contrary to our biological makeup to use any form of birth control. So given that I've been having periods my whole life, instead of babies, you've got to wonder what the effects are of that on the woman's body. Perhaps it is a stress, as some people say, to keep menstruating. We are expending a whole lot of energy toward a pregnancy that never happens. If I had had babies, I am certain my body would be different from how it is now. If I took the new synthetic hormone that stops your periods, I wonder how different I would be?
