This just occurred to me to wonder: do immortal women get periods?

I think if they can have children, they can have periods too (I don't if they can have kids though). :)

Supposedly, they can't. All immortals are foundlings, so no one knows where they come from.

i don`t think it was ever mentioned on the show or in any of the movies (about period that is), but it is basic HL knowledge that Immortals CAN`T have children.

I know they're all foundlings, according to the lore.

i think all body fluids are working... if immortal men produce sperm even if they can't procreate, why wouldn't women have their period ?

[tigriswolf]

I never thought about it like that. Huh. Makes sense.

PMS for eternity! Argh, how horrible.

My first thought on reading this "God, I would hope not!"

[tigriswolf]

That would be completely terrible.

I would say not. Immortals are all sterile, which means shooting blanks for the guys and, I assume, no menstrating for the women.

[tigriswolf]

... that also makes sense. Now I'm all confused again.

I don't know if it's canon, but I remember a fic where Amanda gets hers like once a decade or something. Just enough to be another painful reminder for her that she can't have kids.

That does sound sad.
