I look forward to menopause. A life without periods is what I dream of. Periods are uncomfortable, expensive and require a great deal of patience to explain how they can sometimes disrupt your daily life. The costs attached to managing a period will vary from woman to woman. Some have long and heavy ones, some experience them multiple times a month due to hormonal imbalances and then of course there are those women who I call God’s Favourites; the ones who experience them for four days or less.
