I hate periods.

[noludoru]

I don't feel that this thread requires a warning because if you haven't figured out what I'll be talking about before you clicked, your biggest problem is not that you're grossed out by this topic.

I just feel like venting about periods right now, since mine just started like a freaking waterfall and came with a free set of awful cramps. It feels like my insides are being wrung out like a towel.

In addition to the rest of the fun, my diva cup got destroyed and I don't use tampons (hell, I don't HAVE tampons) so now I'm stuck with pads. And I have to wear underwear. UGH.

Dear periods: GTFO. I will not be reproducing, I DO NOT NEED YOU. LEAVE.

I love the pill, I just skip them. I still usually cramp up though but then I just skip all the mess.

While we're sharing...

I just had food poisoning for 3 days while i had my period... So put food poisoning stomach OMFGKILLME pain with JESUSCHRISTWHYDOIHAVETHESEORGANSTHATCAUSEMESOMUCHDISCOMFORT crampy pain and you pretty much want to kill yourself.

So i sympathize.

lol the pill helps alot! my period used to be the same way and now I just skip them most of the time

Sorry about your tummy and bloody aunt flow problems!

Oral contraceptives do help quite a bit, but I'm off mine right now and have been for a little while. I'm waiting till I talk to a doctor about them to get back on them or try a different one. For now I don't need them so it's not a big deal, and with all the nasty side effects of getting off them I don't want to even attempt it again without talking to a doctor first.

The cramps suckkkk though. Ugh.

Mandy, I'm sorry. That SUCKS. I always seem to get sick on my periods, too. Worst combination ever.

GTFO!






Okay, I'm just being mean, you can stay.

Sparks, I'm not sure. Mine was supposed to be a few weeks ago, but who knows.

 

[youhavenoidea]

Yar. I'm with her.

Late.

Crap.

I'm wishing for mine my pretties.

Ya know, I wouldn't mind it so much if the cramps I got didn't feel like I was being stabbed by a thousand knives. Being able to do nothing more than curl up in a ball in bed? Kind of ruins the day. Although my mom & sister have said that after they had kids, their cramps were never that bad.... so maybe I should try that out. Lol. Nawww.

 

[sparks19]

I was the opposite. I didn't have really any issues before having Hannah. I got a little back pain but everything for me starts in my back. stomach aches, heartburn,cramps... all in my back always.

After Hannah I get uterus pain and quite a bit of fatigue

:O

warning: my post is a bit descriptive, don't read it if you get grossed out easily or if you don't want to hear about bleeding issues.




I don't get mine anymore.... I had my uterus yanked out a couple of years back. BUT, I had my period pretty much all the time. There were times during the month it was so heavy I had to stay home because NOTHING would keep me from gushing right through my clothes and all over the furniture or the floor if I was standing. It was awful. Not to mention the clots that were the size of an orange that would fall out of me..ewwww. But I never had cramps. Occasionally I would get that odd discomfort feeling in my belly, but it wasn't cramps.. not sure how to describe it.

You talented if you can use that diva cup thing..lol I tried that and the darn thing would flip around and not make a seal properly and I would overflow the cup so it was a bloody mess when I'd try and change it. Not to mention the times it would feel like it was scraping my insides away when it wasn't in right. I bled too heavy for tampons... they would be blood soaked within an hour and just fall out in my drawers when I walked...lol And pads were discusting too. Oh, I don't miss those days.

I feel bad for those of you who still have to suffer through periods. Have u tried a heating pad and some midol to help with the cramps? I hope u feel better soon.

 

[wcladymacbeth]

ohh I used to hate periods too.. mine were soooo heavy and disgusting and lasted forever. I'm on Seasonique now and I have 'em every 3 months, but then only teeny ones. It's the best thing ever.

Hope you get your period stuff figured out nolu!

 

[Whisper]

Ugh, I'm with ya nolu.
I'm on the pill and was getting them more regular and getting used to being on the pill, but I forgot to refill the prescription one month. My cycle got all mixed up and now I get 2 periods a month. I love it.

 

[MisssAshby]

I wish mine would go away as well.

 

[AGonzalez]

'Tis the season? I have that problem starting up next week...it can go to hell.

 

[KenyiGirl]

I'm scheduled to get mine this weekend. Joy. I'm gonna have it the first week of my new quarter. It always seems to happen that way, I'm doing something new, going somewhere different, I'll have my period that week. Yuk.

 

[Izzy's Valkyrie]

Just finished mine yesterday. I'm in the lucky camp of no cramps and fairly light periods due to oral contraceptives (Yasmin). I do, however, get incredibly and incurably tired the two or three days BEFORE my period. I can literally sleep 13 hours and take a nap 4 hours later when I'm about to start my period. Not really conducive to school
