Lol no worries. I always joke about being old. It sucks though. My mom was in her mid 50s when she finally hit menopause. I'd go nuts if I have to deal with my period that long. It's so heavy and just gross. 😭

I got mine when I was 9 and it's been always really heavy and painful. Like at least 9 days long if it actually ends and bleeding through a tampon in 30min. If it weren't for birth control I wouldn't be able to hold down a job very well. With birth control I get a much lighter 2-4 day period I can deal with. I don't even need tampons with the pill I'm on now.
