Yesterday I got an invite to participate in a nationwide research project on uterine cancer, and in participating I need to get a pap smear which reminded me I hadn't had one in at least ten years. So remember to get a pap smear if your insurance allows it. Just to be clear I don't have cancer, this is something everyoe with a uterus gets between the ages of 30 and 60 in The Netherlands, but it served as a reminder for me.

My cramps will not stop and I'm not even bleeding yet, gently caress this. My last period was short and light so that means this one is going to be a bitch.

I think it is very dumb and bad that the time my boobs look the best is when I’m about to have my period and they hurt.

I have spent the day being one nm off from the rest of the universe, which means closing a door on my finger, banging into a door frame, and bumping into everything. That is one symptom I used to have the day before/of my period and I'm hoping this is regular clumsiness instead.

Started my period yesterday and I have a two and a half hour belly dance workshop today. What I’m saying is I’m braver than the troops.

I get that thing where you get a really specific, sharp pain in an ovary on the day I'm ovulating, which is uncomfortable but also it's kind of useful to know so exactly when it's happening. I also get insanely tired in the days just before my period starts, and generally feel much better when it does kick off. I knew the bastard was due to start yesterday/today and every time I went to the loo yesterday, I was hopefully checking to see if it was here, but no  Finally showed up today and yeah, I do feel a bit better already

Honestly, I'd nearly settle for just being able to mention this kind of thing in ordinary circumstances and for it to be no big deal, like about as controversial as saying you have a headache; not a cue for either embarrassed coughs or 'hurr hurr women and their CRAZY hormones'-style joking. I know I'm pretty lucky, so far I don't get much pain and they are very regular, but yeah, still fuckin tedious to deal with.

A new book on old texts written in Irish reveals some great words for menstruation:quote:What we have managed to divine from the very few existing texts is that “sex in Irish was dealt with in a less prudish and more honourable way than other cultures. For example, menstrual blood was bláthscaoileadh (bloom release) or bláthdhortadh (bloom shedding). An t-ádh dearg (the red luck) was also used, as was tá brúdáin orm (I’m being crushed)” – phrases that strike me as far more useful and body positive than the coy, American “Aunty Flo is visiting” many of us grew up with. Gonna start using tá brúdáin orm (I’m being crushed)

Youse want some pronunciation guidelines?? I'm no gaelgeoir but I can get the basics down tá brúdáin orm = taw broodaawn orrum An t-ádh dearg = On taaw dyaragh also bláth means flower/bloom generally Also my brother just pointed out something very different about the way Irish handles emotional states vs. english. In english you say "I am sad", so you are your emotional state, in irish you say "Tá brón orm" or, "the sadness is upon me" - so sadness is external to you as a person, its something that happen to you. As far as I can remember all emotional states are expressed in the same way in irish. They are all things that happen to you. edit: Just wanted to point out that the granny of the expert referred to in the article was Sighle Humphreys - Sighle is pronounced "Sheila". From an Anglo perspective, Irish is very odd. Pookah fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Aug 30, 2020 |

Every middle of the cycle I'm like OH NO WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME but it's just my ovaries popping out a big one YES it's like something is getting ready to pop and then BAM, it pops and the pain is gone. Only one of my ovaries is fussy though - every second month the right one gets all stabby, the left never causes a fuss when it is its turn.

i'm so fuckin irregular the clue app has no idea how to handle it. not a drat clue. hah. i don't really even get any reliable tells beforehand. Sometimes a week or two before I'll get weirdly...not exactly overemotional, but any kind of minor negative thing will provoke tears. I feel minor annoyance or disappointment but outwardly I look like my dog just died and I can't fuckin' stop it and I hate it so much. other than that I'm drat lucky though, no real symptoms during the thing itself and they're never that long.

I made jam on the weekend and when I was straining the pulp it looked exactly like those big gross sticky clots that sometimes come out Would go well with a nice menstrual pancake. Maybe someone should open a period themed restaurant
