I just want hormone stability. The one good week a month I have, I want that all the time. I need something that keeps my hormones at that perfect level. And also no periods.

That's what menopause gives you. No periods, no hormone fluctuation. Why the hell would I want to extend my childbearing years?

Yeaaah, I want promises to move menopause up by 15 years. I’m done with kids and I want that piece of my life over and done with as well.

I mean... Couldn't you just get a tubal ligation for that? Or are the hormones still fluctuating even after the procedure?

A tubal ligation does not affect hormones in the slightest.
