I've updated the Starfish Envy Resource Page!
I've added some new books-- among them, Taking Charge of Your Fertility, and The Infertility Cure. (I got my period when I was ten, so you'd think I'd be an expert on all things period-related by now. But I've learned a lot in the last week from these two books. One of the things I learned? That because I started my period early, it's statistically likely I'll be older than average when I go into menopause. Lucky me! Ugh.)
I've also added a link to the Adoption Diaries website.
And I've added a link to fertilityfriend.com, which my acupuncturist recommended to me. I've been using it for a week, and I think it's BRILLIANT. If you're thinking of trying to conceive, or if you're already trying, you must check it out.
Seriously on the late menopause thing? That's just unfair. I figure starting at age 10 should have meant early retirement...

Wow. Just saw a clip of ep. 1 of that other thing you do. Scary. Upsetting. Really, really good.
Back to the topic, doesn't having a late menopause increase your chances of continuing to produce viable eggs into your 40s, etc.? So, ridiculous aching that men could never handle aside, keeping your period longer is a good thing, no?
Also, regarding your doctors' post, you are so brave for taking a therapy break during such a topsy turvy time. I took a break from my very beloved therapist when I was pregnant, and it's up there on my list of all-time most regrettable things I ever did. (Top of the list: getting all four wisdom teeth out and NOT being put under. Stuuuuupid. Some old boyfriends make that list, too.) Then again, I really love my therapist as a person and rarely feel like our conversations get stale -- not everyone feels that way.
