My period poops are awful and then they have a bonus awful thing: when the poop is out of my body it’s like my cramps have more room to spread out and be even crampier, so after each period poop my cramps get worse.

Also I never had sore boobs during PMS until I had a miscarriage and ever since it’s boob and nipple pain for a week per cycle. This has been super unfun because I don’t ever want to become pregnant and I grew up hearing my mom say that sore boobs was always her first pregnancy symptom.

I have had clincally concerning sized ovarian cysts burst on me twice and I would rather cut off part of my finger again than deal with that holy poo poo. I would rather deal with the searing pain of cleaning up a deep and wide open wound daily than abdominal pain so bad that Dilaudid did nothing.

What's up with that U in menstruating? Seems like if you pronounce the U it adds a pointless extra syllable. If you don't pronounce it, what's it even doing there?

I went to a doctor once because I was in such HORRIBLE and sudden pain when I woke up and he was just like "There's blood in your ovaries" and that was it, then he left. no explanation. I think it was an ovarian cyst bursting. loving cis man doctors. The pain was so bad I almost threw up, and I'm one of those people who just doesn't throw up. Worst pain I was ever in. And I've had broken limbs and ribs, and had a broken bottle jammed into my leg.

My very first period I got in math class in like 6th grade, I wasn't bleeding yet, I don't think, but I was cramping like loving hell and I had no idea what it was yet, so I went up to the teacher and asked if I could go to the nurse. In front of the whole class she very loudly shouted "You're just on your period, sit back down!" I don't know what the hell her problem was. Embarrassed the poo poo out of me. Then you know the fun thing that happens in school where whoops sometimes you leave a red splotch on a school chair in the shape of your rear end.

Why did I buy white sheets what was I thinking

why can't I buy big bags of cheap underwear that are only red or black. cheap as possible. Like those bags of white mens shirts you can buy.

I'm so sick of my tits hurting for a week or two before it starts. That didn't start happening until I was in my mid twenties, I miss that not happening.

The worst thing of all is when I'm on my period farting hurts! So you can't even enjoy that! Also I turn into pacman and just want to inhale every crunchy salty snack.

oh, plus, uh, trans man, so. Once a month it's the ol' dysphoria train choo choo. For some reason my period only lasts like two days. But it also hurts so much I'm incapacitated, so I'd rather it last 3 or 4 days if the cramps were milder.

I'm like 3 or 4 days away from this month's, phew thanks for letting me get that off my aching chest

Uh... Kupo?

As a non periodbearer, I try to be there for my wife while she handles The Old Blood. I offer cliches like snacks, chocolate, back rubs if she seems to be having a particularly rough time but she doesn’t like to bother me too much about it. Typically she’ll graciously accept/appreciate them, but never asks for anything specifically.

What have y’all found to be the most delightful form of aid/support/care that you might feel uncomfortable asking for? An ex girlfriend many years ago said she felt that orgasms were her go-to panacea for period woes, and some internet research I did seemed to agree but maybe there’s something else I can add into the rotation. A lot of guys I know are super avoidant of anything to do with vaginas during periods which seems really sad for their female companions.

My mom was super skinny and hadnt had hers until she was 16, so hadnt actually prepared me to have mine at 10. I didnt even know what was going on until I got home from school, and then I was very shocked and upset to find out that no, it doesnt only last 2-3 hours. Be a lot cooler if it did.

Ever be in the bath during your period and a gooey piece of your uterine lining comes out and floats around and you have a look at it and you're like 'hmmmm interesting' and try to determine if it's the unfertilized egg? I've done that a few times. Apparently the egg is the only cell in the human body you can see with the naked eye.

I detest baths (showers forever and ever) but the idea of a chunky human soup is interesting.

When I had my abortion, the father(?) had asked if I could get the embryo or whatever, as they were into Very Graphic Art. I declined as I’d be crossing international borders with uh, an aborted clump of cells. Even as a citizen I feel CBP would not be pleased to contend with that. Plus the logistics - bag? Jelly jar?

Once I had such bad period pain that I had to crawl on my hands & knees to the bathroom to vomit, and then when I lost the strength to do that, I lied on my side in bed & put a plastic bag next to my face that I could roll over & puke into. The pain abruptly stopped, and I thought that I had literally died, and I was actually relieved. Then it came back.

This is eerily parallel, and I'm glad that there might be some kind of explanation for it, even if that explanation doesn't really mean anything now.

The only time I've had anything like period cramps or massive bleeding was when I had what's called a "missed abortion". Boy, howdy! Nearly 24-hours after the bloodgates opened, I finally got taken to the ER and my blood pressure was so low the doctor thought I would need a blood transfusion on the spot. Turns out that the ol' maternal line is also so very good at rapidly creating new red blood cells (go go gadget bone marrow!) that the blood replacing people were baffled by her request. I did need to have a d&c, though. Pretty ghastly couple of days.

My mom brought books from the library and sat down with me to go over everything when I was 10, about a year or so before I started. She had some failures as a parent but did a great job with the whole menstruation/pregnancy business.

I guess this is gross of me but I never saw a problem with boiling cups in cooking pots. It’s not like you plunge it in there dripping with blood clots. If you soap it first who cares.

My mom & period story: she gave me a stern talk because she said she went through the trash and she knew I was changing my pad too often and she wasn’t going to keep buying them. Next day I needed to change my pad at lunch but now I was afraid I’d run out so I had this literally soaked squishy pad for the rest of the day including gym class, praying it wasn’t going to start leaking down my legs. Also at that age I tended to have periods that went on very lightly for 2 weeks but now I was scared of changing my pad and nobody ever told me about panty liners, so I wore the same pad for like an entire week until I stank bad enough for someone to comment on it. in hindsight I guess she had money problems but she never explained that, just acted like I was in trouble. It was really weird

I don't like using tampons/cups because I find it physically uncomfortable. Not mentally or anything, I mean poo poo I had a kid I've had all kinds of traffic through my chunnel, I just do not like having them in there cause I can feel it the whole time. I also can't wear heels or nylons or stuff like that cause it is just way too uncomfortable. I've also gotten attitude that my preference for pads makes me some kind of a prudish nun because I'm uncomfortable with it, which feels really judge-y.

I use washable pads I bought on the AliExpress. Had em for like a year now and they hold up good. Someone was asking about it earlier and if they are still interesting I can link. Way cheaper than getting it here and after looking at the ads for ones sold here and the ones on the AliExpress I'm 99% sure they come from the same factory.
