I have an embarrassing question to ask as a middle-aged man.
Not really sure how to preface this. I've been through and experienced pretty much everything in this thread with one partner or another and nothing phases me. I think it's all 'great'. Whatever.
Wife get's super horned up about 4 days past her doing her deal. Then cools off a little.
I'm embarrassed to ask, but do you notice a 'window' where you're like "okie dokie" and want a good roll in the hay?
As a guy I don't get these other than a 'yes/no' type of moment, but as the years roll on it's just a trend I see.

P.S. I've had SEX

For me it's about a week before my period that I get super horny. And the day or so after because gently caress it, I finally don't feel like poo poo, gotta celebrate!

Yeah, I had my one little spotting incident, but then after I pooped, a bunch of blood & clots came out. Then my flow basically stopped for the rest of the day, and when I woke up this morning, there was like, one clot on the tampon I normally use pads when I sleep, but I ran out. Today, pre-poop, there isn't anything going on.

Anyway, this is why I asked about it getting stuck. Like, why the gently caress is it not just coming out? Where the god drat gently caress is it?!

It’s just shy. You have to coax it out with a treat, like wearing white pants, going swimming, or sex with a new partner.

You should always have sex with new partners on your period. That way you'll know if they're worth your time depending on their reaction.

Period sex is the most disgusting sexual thing I've ever done, and I will die on that hill. A partner who reacts negatively toward suddenly realizing that period blood is coming out is 100% entitled to do so.

Sounds like you need to get out more.

Honestly I also find it kind of gross. I'll still do it if my partner wants to but meh.

If I had a Pikachu, it'd probably eat my stuff.
Like many others in this thread I suffered with the most painful and heavy periods right from the word go at thirteen. Saw several doctors over the years who would just dismiss my concerns. I was throwing up, feeling really week and faint and spent a good two of the six days curled up in a ball cursing the blood factory who hungered for pain.

At about age 28 I finally decided to go and see a doctor again. She listened to my symptoms and immediately said “Well we need to do something about all that. Has no one ever looked into this further or done anything about it?” I told her no and the look of disbelief and disgust on her face mirrored what I’d felt at being fobbed off for the best part of fifteen years. Had an ultrasound/general investigations to make sure the cause wasn’t anything to worry about (nothing was found, my uterus just hates me) and I’ve been on the progesterone only pill for about four years now and I’ve not had a period since.

So yeah basically gently caress doctors who dismiss people going through this sort of crap and don’t take them seriously. I did have to explain to and correct a friend that yes I don’t have periods anymore and no, that doesn’t mean all the blood and lining is all building up. If that were the case I don’t think I’d ever be able to sneeze again.

While we tend to think of the vag as wide open, your cervix can clamp down as snug as your butthole. Leak proof seal. But unlike your anus you have no voluntary control over it. Cervix don't care, it does what it wants.

There was a tweet going around a while back about the ultimate end-of-period lifehack: grab the Hitachi and get off as many times as you can so the contractions force the dregs out, then take a long shower to clean up

DON'T AWOO - $350 PENALTY

I've had like 3 Mirenas so far, the first one I "gave birth" to after ~9 months, had contractions and they had to remove it and put it back in... I've been pretty emotionally stable with no periods or cramps but this third Mirena has been different.

Every couple months or so I'll get these extreme fits of ANGER and rage and crying, and cramps, and then nothing for another couple months. Has anyone else had different experiences with different Mirenas?

I'm having one of those rage/frustration/crying spells right now and it's rough... reminds me of how unstable I felt while on Depo.

I just want to complain that my period starts in five days, according to my app anyway, and holy gently caress my boobs are killing me and I already feel like I've been punched in the uterus. I'm having way worse PMS symptoms notably earlier than usual so I think I'm about to get severely dunked on. I'm not ready.

I've been wondering if I should discuss my periods with my GP (I switched doctors at the start of the year). Mine are pretty heavy, occasionally wack in schedule, and have been so painful on multiple occasions I've seriously considered going to the hospital. I think I first brought this up to a doctor when I was about 14 (I'm 27 now). Even the younger female doctors who were otherwise good were just like "drat that sucks try a heat pack :)." I don't think I have anything serious going on, but surely there's something that can be done to have a look at it besides being totally dismissed. I'm just gonna be mad if I go and discuss it and get brushed off again. I've had doctors brush me off as "having anxiety" for what turned out upon investigation to be Actual Problems before so it's a sore spot for me.

I'm thinking of getting off birth control. I don't get laid enough to need it for that, and all it appears to have done is weirden my period. I'd rather have regular painful heavy 5-6 day periods than irregular dull-achey slightly less heavy 25-30 day periods.

I got lucky and my GP listened to my bitching about my teenage periods but I'm pretty sure that's only because I was literally puking once a month and had to come home from school. My GP also is a women, so I'm sure that's part of it.

Luckily my period no longer hurts THAT much but I occasionally still get an rear end kicking courtesy of my uterus.

Then there are times I think of the old days, where women had their special tent. I'd be fine if we brought that back and modernized it: work from your little hotel room if you can or want, otherwise you get a week of hot tub or massages or just binge watching poo poo.

I'm sorry Google failed you.

Blood will form clots and, for menstruating women, there is added material from the sloughed uterine lining.

I googled it after I made that post, there's no need to be a jerk. I hardly ever seem any solid things in my stuff, I mean sometimes. But it's like little strings, not anything to complain about, so I have found it interesting the talk in the thread people have about being able to feel them or like having them make their cramping worse. passing them.

I used to get the voms when I had my period too. Fair warning, I also got hyperemesis when I was pregnant. I'm convinced the two are linked.

I have a date scheduled for a hysterectomy. I don't believe it's true until the insurance approval comes through though.

If it actually works, I'm pretty sure it's only because I'm over 40. I still wish I could have had a hysterectomy 30 years ago.
