Yes, exactly. I may get moody for a couple of days and sometimes I'll have insomnia for a night or two but that's about it as far as annoying symptoms go.

I get that other women experience other things but I simply can't relate because I literally don't even know what cramps are supposed to feel like. Are they like a stomachache?

[(Anonymous)]

DA.

For me cramps feel like there's a fist in my abdomen constantly pushing in and twisting, at worst they feel like someone's stuck two hot metal rods into my pelvis and are slowly prising it apart.

Cramps are pretty individual, too. Mine feels like a heavy, hot rock in my lower abdomen that's a dull, tight ache. What's worse is that it frequently comes with nausea - the simultaneous feeling of "I think I'm going to throw up" (but I don't) and "I think I'm about to have the emergency shits". I've tried painkillers, but they really only take the edge off. Usually I just have to wait it out, which is about an hour or two. The cramps usually hit me in the morning and again late at night, but it can come any time.


I rarely got period cramps before my 30s, but now the whole period experience starts a week before the bleeding with cramps and occasional diarrhea. Then it's 2-3 days of light bleeding followed by 2 days of heavy bleeding where I'll have to change pads every 2 hours or so andovernight means doubling up on the most absorbent tampon + thick overnight maxi pad with wings, largest size for maximum coverage and that's STILL no guarantee against leaks. Followed by 2-3 days of light bleeding.

SA - forgot to add that a week before, the protein cravings really kick in and I'm vulnerable to mood swings. Trivial things can make me cry when I'm not usually a crier (like cute pet videos), ditto superhot rage when I'm normally pretty stoic. This didn't happen before my 30s, either.

It's amazing to me that you heavy flow people aren't deathly anemic! I'm low-iron and my entire period could be handled with a single ultra tampon--if it were safe to leave one in that long ofc.

[(Anonymous)]

No idea. I have other health issues that require regular blood screenings but I guess low iron isn't one of my problems? Thank goodness. I do hate bleeding through an ultra sized tampon in two hours. :(

[(Anonymous)]

Possibly because period flow is not actually blood but mostly made of uterine lining, shredded to a very fine paste. Some blood gets mixed into but it's not an hemorrhage either.

[(Anonymous)]

Seems like that varies as well. The very rare occasion where I've felt pain during my period, it's been a very sharp lancing pain that's there and then gone in an instant, occurring three or four times throughout the day.

Mine were a constant, burny-stabby ache across my lower back that got worse the longer I sat in like a chair or something. They only eased up when I got to lay flat on my back for a few hours, so school *sucked*. I even ended up going home a couple of times, because my back hurt so bad, sitting at a desk was intolerable. They usually stopped after a couple days, regardless of how long my actual period lasted.

I also had some pretty heavy times when my guts felt really tender and achy and, getting up from the couch, for instance, I'd suddenly feel that 'rush' of hot/wet and realize that I'd just bled all down my friggin' leg. Whee!

[(Anonymous)]

My personal fave is on my heavy flow days, when I cough or sneeze. I actually SQUIRT goddamn blood, and if the pad isn't situated juuuuuust right to catch it all... disaster.

[tabaqui]

Oh, jeez...!!!

[(Anonymous)]

Individual. Mine is similar to pain I've got from food poisoning. Deep and persistent. Like a toothache.
It's usually worse if I am moving. So I am one of whose people who actually is good at work on a period because I am an office worker. But if I need to go somewhere it's an ouchie.
