Ugh. Let's talk about periods

[(Anonymous)]

Tbis weekend was the absolute worst time to start the absolute worst period of my life. Cramps, backache, and every 30 minutes it seemed like I was up and dropping a clot the size of my goddamn hand (slight exaggeration).

But I knew it was coming, because I also had the worst PMS I've had in a long time (us irregular ladies just have to go by symptoms): chin hair like crazy, sensitive booobage and a crying jag that wouldn't quit even though I KNEW it was just the PMS making me feel like the world was ending.

It was and is the worst. Share your horror stories.

Re: Ugh. Let's talk about periods

On my period now (but nearing the end). I used to think I was irregular as fuck, but after using a period tracker for a over a year I learned that my period just moves back a week every time.

Re: Ugh. Let's talk about periods

AYRT
I've been tracking since March and my cycle days since then have been 41, 42, 66, 41, 61 and whatever will come after this. Sometimes though, I might get some PMS symptoms but not actually bleed and IDK what that's about. I should really get thee to a gyno, I'm just really nervous about it. I've never been sexually active, but I know there are other reason to be checked out at my age (33).

Sorry your shark week is being such a bitch. It sucks. Might want to see someone if you'r frequently getting a lot of big clots though.

But this reminds me of a curiosity I've always had about transwomen and wth I'm anon: Are y'all typically grateful that you don't have to deal with menstruation or is it a sore spot reminder of your birth sex?

Obv it's probably different for each person and of course there are cis women who don't have them but I was curious.

This is a rude as fuck question. Your "curiosities" are our lives, and our thoughts on reproductive systems - much like our genitals - are none of your damn business.

Yep. This is me, too. In my case it's always nasty headaches, acne breakouts (and I'll get pimples in the weirdest spots, too, like in or behind my ear or on top of my head or something-and sometimes those weird pimples lead to the headaches), and my upper legs cramping up (I constantly have to switch sides when sleeping, because if I lay on one side too long it adds to the crampiness). I also get tired much more easily right around the time it begins, too, if it's a particularly heavy one, as well as a little more irritable.

Fortunately, though, I finished mine just this past week, so yay for that, at least. Sorry you're feeling so crappy. Hope whatever methods you typically use work well and you get to feeling better soon!

Wow, this thread.

Holy fuck do women have the short end of the reproductive stick.

Re: Ugh. Let's talk about periods

On on the one hand, kinda pissed about this unnecessary comment. Other hand, have to LOL because this thread is like nothing at all. This shit can get soooo much worse than what you've just read.

Re: Ugh. Let's talk about periods

Yeah, but we live longer.

Re: Ugh. Let's talk about periods

Oh my god, do I know that feel right now nonnie, because my period and gender dysphoria are working together to make my week hell. I'm cramping so hard I've been throwing for two days now, and I've burned through an entire box of tampons in that time. Thankfully my future sister in law loves me and just finished her period, so she brought me tampons to last me until Friday when I get paid at least.

This month's surprise torrential overnight onset was fun to wake up to. That doesn't usually happen.

Re: Ugh. Let's talk about periods

[(Anonymous)]

Ugh, I think our uteri are in secret communication, I've got the same stuff going on. The cramps have gotten worse since my child was born. I'd never understood the kind of pain that knocks you off your feet before then, but now I do. :(

Re: Ugh. Let's talk about periods

I'm so, so glad I don't get them.

Re: Ugh. Let's talk about periods

[sachiko_san]

I've had a period since the middle of May this year, it started 2 weeks after my IUD was put in for PCOS... it's showing signs of slowing down finally, but I think it might be another month or two before it's over and if it doesn't end by May of next year, I'm going to ask them to take it out. I've read about a handful of people who had a period as long as I've had and it stopping, but who knows with me.

Several years ago I was on Yaz for a couple of months and it would give me heavy ass periods (my periods are usually moderate with slight cramping), made it feel like my right ovary was exploding (I'm guessing it was doing that to the cysts), and I bleed through a tampon once because of it. I stopped taking it after that.

Re: Ugh. Let's talk about periods

[tabaqui]

Dude, seriously? You'd wait until *May*? If i had a period for more than a month at a time i'd be 'nope'ing the fuck out of that. Sheesh.

Good luck, hope it goes away soon!

Re: Ugh. Let's talk about periods

I'm irregular too. I've been using a period tracker for two years and it rarely gets it right because I skip months. I skipped September and October, but got my period on Friday and it was hell. I knew it was coming because I started feeling lightheaded and nauseous on Thursday, which sucked because I really wanted to enjoy Thanksgving with my family and eat my weight in pies, but I didn't get too eat much of anything. I didn't cramp too badly this time, but I had a really heavy flow and horrible headaches. I hate how emotional being on my period makes me. I was full out sobbing while watching Doctor Who on Saturday and went to sleep still crying.

Period Shits

[(Anonymous)]

I had a period recently, the first regular one in a long time. Worst. Period shits. Ever. The feeling of constant constipation combined with a constant need to poop, stuff streaming out of both holes; both my asshole and my uterus felt like they were being choked, so my lower back/lower abdomen was just a mess of nope.

Please tell me I'm not alone in this...

Re: Period Shits

[(Anonymous)]

You're definitely not alone in that. I always have at least one day where I feel like I need to sit on the toilet all day and then take a really scalding hot shower afterwards 'cause toilet paper doesn't feel like enough, you know? Thank goodness for wet wipes.

Re: Period Shits

[(Anonymous)]

It's a mix for me. At first I cannot take a shit AT ALL despite feeling like I need to all the time and it's painful as hell because sitting on the toilet does not agree with my cramps. Fucking cramps. Then after a day or two (depending how bad the cramps are) I manage to get the first, painful as fuck shit done and then it's diarrhea for the rest of my period.

Fucking periods.

Re: Period Shits

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't felt the kind of pain in my lower back that you do, but all the other stuff you describe I've had to deal with on some level or another, yeah. It's just a nasty mess all around and makes me feel even more blech and yucky than I already do :/.

Re: Ugh. Let's talk about periods

[kallanda_lee]

I'm usually fine physically.

But my anger level reaches murderous levels at about the first day.

Re: Ugh. Let's talk about periods

[nightscale]

I'm waiting for my period to start now, which I hate almost as much as the first three days because my stomach gets all grumbly with mock-cramps and my anger spikes something stupid(I yelled at the washing up once because... you know what? Idk why I was angry at it, I just was).

But the worst periods I get are the ones where painkillers don't work and I am nothing but a small whimpering ball of pain, and if I'm extra lucky I'll be physically sick too.

Most of the time though the painkillers deal with the pain and I've just got the other lovely symptoms to deal with. Yay periods.

Re: Ugh. Let's talk about periods

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

You know, compared to so many people I see commenting on their periods, I feel like I was blessed. I say this because the worst I ever have is a dull ache in my lower back/upper backside.

I just try to be sympathetic to all the women who suffer serious pain in their periods.

Re: Ugh. Let's talk about periods

[(Anonymous)]

I highly recommend speaking to a doctor about birth control pills or other methods to regulate your period. It's worth a shot.

I used to have terrible and super heavy periods that lasted seven days or more. Also, I'm squeamish around blood so I was constantly gagging. Finally, I decided to see a doctor and I'm so glad I did. My period now is light and lasts two days at most. I know pills don't work for everyone the same way, but definitely look into it.

Re: Ugh. Let's talk about periods

Pains so bad I sometimes couldn't walk, extremely heavy bleeding (had to wear one of the big pads because using tampons was like trying to stop a fire hose with a postage stamp, and even the big pads sometimes leaked), and periods lasting as long as TWENTY-FIVE FUCKING DAYS!
Thank fuck I had a hysterectomy.
