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.

Yeah I'm all for this. I can still handle clients, honestly I'd prefer to do it from a location where no one is yelling about YouTube in the background. And then non work time I can just DO NOTHING, which I don't have enough chances to do.

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.

Better now than never! Get that poo poo out of there if you don't want it.

I don't really have periods now, due to my hormonal IUD, and I also don't have the premenstrual migraines, severe bouts of nausea, during which I can only lie on the floor and moan, heavy cramping and bleeding, or any of the other bullshit that I had to deal with roughly every 29 days.

Insertion was slightly rough, the day afterwards was really rough. My cervix hated me and had lots of complaining to do. My first period afterwards was rough, months before we had planned a vacation that involved nothing but walking. Great idea for someone with an irritated cervix and a uterus dumping everything and someone else who took a bullet to the hip joint! We were both miserable.

A couple more periods, each progressively lighter, then about a year of "periods" that consisted of one wipe per month that showed very slight spotting, and for about a year, nothing. It's fantastic, I'm due for reinsertion in June and I am 100% going the same route.


My point is, if your period symptoms are debilitating, gently caress around with birth control until you find something that helps.

Wut.


Is it dirt for putting in your vagina? Is it sterilized dehydrated period blood? Is it a product specifically designed to induce menstrual cramps?

I would ask why, regardless of any answers to my questions, but I already know the answer and it’s “woo-woo snake oil garbage, but period-themed.”

Weird question

I’m currently on prescription iron meds for my poo poo blood, Niferex. Would they affect my period in any way? This one is a few days late, and it’s a slow drip rn with less cramps and aches.

Thought for the aches that have come, ooooh this electric heating pad.

This morning I blew my nose a little too hard while I was in the shower, I guess, because a two-inch long blood clot fell out. (If you wake up all congested like I do, the steam from the shower loosens everything up and you can just let it all go down the drain.)

My worst "p"ms symptoms usually hit during the first days of flow, which is awesome when I'm bleeding a five gallon bucket full and also cramping. Like thanks body. So much for this.

I had the same thought actually, that it looked like I meant the blood clot came out of my nose and not my vag. In that case I would've been posting from the hospital, or not posting at all but freaking out that my brain started leaking out of my head.

Is anyone else grossed out by rare beef when they're on the rag? I'll demolish a couple of hamburgers no problem (and I did today), but the smell of blood from rare beef is too similar to the way my period smells for my liking.

You feel folks who wear pads are saints about smell. I swear I smell it way more if I have to use pads instead of tampons and I hate it.

If I have to do manual labor even worse: period AND crotch sweat :barf:

Haven’t tried the pads yet but The Honeypot liners are excellent for my end-of-period and midcycle spotting. Warning: they will leave your area minty fresh and at first it will feel like burning almost but everything is actually fine, whoa, this herbal poo poo is wild.

We've got some guys in the house today installing a new water heater and my husband comes downstairs and goes "there's just pads everywhere!" all aghast cause there was a single stray pantyliner behind the laundry as well as my (clean) washable pads are in the same room as the workmen. I go "oh no! They might realize a woman lives here!" and my husband got over that poo poo pretty quickly.

To be fair he does do a fair amount of cleaning but he waits till the last possible moment to clean, so he was in the process of cleaning still when the heating guy showed up. He also has a case of mild Asperger's and gets certain ideas stuck in his craw about the way things should be. I usually ignore these notions and tell him if it's so important to him he can do it himself, like when he said I was doing 'negligent' laundry when I was washing the black baby wipe rags with the white baby wipe rags.

So why am I bitching about this in the period thread? Cause he's super oblivious to hormone discrepancies and will push things like this when I'm in no mood for it. Like yesterday when I told him to take our kid on a walk because I wanted some me time in order to do the dishes. He goes "is it really that many dishes?" Yes, it's like a day and half worth of dishes, that's a lot, and then he was mystified as why to I was so upset for the rest of the day.

Got my period! Day 57. Long, irregular cycles due to stress are exacerbated by Pregnancy Fear, so every time it finally shows up, I celebrate.

Today I will celebrate with scotch, making snowboys on Animal Crossing, and eating whatever the gently caress I feel like for supper (which will probably be McDonalds because it's my number one period craving).

discharged blood and uterine lining smell :shrug:

though I wouldn't really expect random passersby to be able to smell it unless they're sniffing at your crotch or you pull down your pants in front of them, which raises other questions

there's more exposure to oxygen when using pads so they're stinkier than products that stay in the body until you're ready to remove them
