Thanks for the replies, it's reassuring. I googled it and every website is basically "idk, maybe, it's possible but we haven't got any studies to back it up :shrug:"

My period got here yesterday. I was thinking about going out and doing a thing, but I think I might just lay immobile on my couch for the rest of the drat day.

I couldn't find the loving deodorant or superglue at the store today and got teary. I actually cried when I found the latter and kept trying to read the ingredients.

Oh boy guess who's coming to town soon.

I actually ended up going out until 2 am. However I got some Kratom and I think it helped my cramps somewhat. Today I’m largely immobile, though.

Do period underwear really work? Cause reviews are mixed and I can't justify $80 for underwear when I'd need half a dozen pairs if you need to swap them every 4 loving hours because no one works 8 hour shifts right?

I love it when I'm like "wow, I'm crying over some minor slight, maybe my anxiety meds aren't working anymore" and then my period starts early two days later

wait no, I hate it

For me it's 1) hour-long bouts of black despair and 2) wondering if I took my adhd meds because they don't seem to be working. Then period arrives, explaining it all.

I still haven't had a period since the really bad one I had back in June.

Poo In An Alleyway posted:

Need some advice on the current state of my blood-flood if anyone might have suggestions for home remedies.

Brutal overshare incoming:
I'm 34 and my periods have been fairly infrequent since I had my Jaydess IUD removed a couple years ago. Before I got the IUD, my periods were regular, like clockwork, but would be incredibly painful and heavy, especially on Day 1, eventually tapering off to a light flow with no discomfort by Day 3. Since the IUD was taken out though, there could be weeks where all I'll see is maybe 3 or 4 days of light spotting then nothing until the next month, or weeks where there's a heavy flow that abruptly stops. This month is a loving doozie though: Since Friday night it's been a constant stream that completely saturates the pad from top to bottom within 2 or 3 hours, it's not slowing down at night, I was crippled all day Saturday with stabbing pains in my lower abdomen that haven't been this unbearable since I was in my early 20's, and the clots are the largest I've ever seen in my loving life.

My husband keeps telling me to call a doctor about it because it's clearly not loving normal, but I have a hunch that my weight (I'm not small but I wouldn't say I'm huge by any means either) will be used as a hand-wave excuse by the doctor for why it's happening and I'll be told to just deal with it until I'm not fat anymore.

I've only had like 2 days of spotting maybe two weeks ago but that's been it. Something's clearly wrong but the fact that they couldn't find anything during a pelvic ultrasound and a vaginal probe scan is making me kinda worried to say the least.

Spent last week feeling bleak and doing nothing, spent this week getting heaps of chores done while ugly-crying and watching someone play through Hollow Knight. Boobs weren't sore at all, only one small chin zit, never saw it coming. Thanks, hormones! Edit (the crying is because Hollow Knight is sad in parts)

Could it be early menopause? I suggest you try to talk to another doctor.

I happen to like the "traumatically brisk" feeling of Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap. It's like a vulva Altoid. :colbert: Of course, I like rinsing it off too.

pms is different for me now that ive been on testosterone for a few months; before it was maybe getting upset more easily and getting crampy. now it feels like the energy is being sucked from my body and i just want to lay in bed forever

also crampy

Good god today was rough. It’s like every symptom decided to hit at once. Hot/cold flashes, fatigue, mega cramps, loss of concentration, spiked emotions, etc.

I’m in my mid 30s I don’t wanna do this for another couple of decades. Plus I am in TX so I’m super not pleased with being a uterus-owner right now. I’m not ever gonna use it, I want it gone :/

Nah, it was mild enough that they just gave a lil' cooling effect, no sting. Probably not great for overall vaginal balance long term, but for a few days it was pleasant.
