Well I've read that period food cravings are a culturally bound symptom and globally, most women don't actually get them? So ancient women's experiences of their cycles were probably wildly different from ours

Oh, and Jones was there too.

First day of it yesterday, and I just couldn't move, even walking up and down the stairs was hard. I managed to make some bread for breakfast and put on a pot of rice for dinner, but just spent the rest of the day curled up into a ball. I think I need to start taking the multivitamins again.

My partner recommended I take vitamin supplements (zinc, magnesium, iron, and one other I can't remember) to help make things easier, and it seems to be working! Either that or this month was just coincidally a less painful period, but hey, I'll take it.

I used to have knock me on my rear end laying there for two days just having to moan and breathe, can't even think level cramps, but I read a science paper that said that ginger was very good for both relieving cramps and preventing them.

So about a year or two ago I started just snacking on crystalized ginger during pms and the actual period (like not a ton like two little slices a day, sometimes more but I actually like it, it's basically spicy candy) and my anecdotal evidence is I haven't had a knock me on my rear end period since. Now my cramps are just like "this is inconvenient I feel kinda blah but I can still actually walk and think, not bad". I kept forgetting to buy some more earlier this year so I missed a month and THAT period was pretty bad and painful so that's the proof to myself that it is the ginger that's helping.

An ants invasion? I was going to complain that my period is weirdly thin and watery, but now I'm more concerned for you

Ooh, I wonder if your uterus shed its full lining. That happened to me once, it was horrifying and I was so worried I needed to go to the ER for period diarrhea. After it finished and I was resting on the floor, I was so drenched in sweat that I started sliding eeeeeeeever so slightly on the bathroom tile like an air hockey puck; and that's how I learned the bathroom floor had a slight incline

Well. I emptied my cup later and it was probably the clottiest i'd ever seen it so maybe you are onto something.

The good news is, if that is the case, you're fine. Uterine linings do that sometimes for no real reason, mostly to women who haven't given birth and shed their entire lining in the process. Odds are pretty good that it'll never happen again, too. The bad news is that this period is going to be a little more gnarly than usual, re: clotting and mushy fleshy bits

My period has been super thin and watery which is strange because normally its very heavy. But otoh its also clotting a lot lot lot more which only happened once a long time ago when I was like, 18? When that happened I was in the shower and -- I genuinely don't remember why I did this -- I ended up pulling out a blood clot that covered the entire span of my hand. It was absolutely black and for a long moment I just stared at it because I had never seen a blood clot that huge and I couldn't believe it. For a second I legit thought I had a bug nest in my vagina or something. Then I noticed the shower run off was turning red and realized nope that's blood! Anyway something similar happened to me today which is odd

Anyone have experience with nexplanon? I’d like birth control that I don’t have to think about but IUDs freak me out.

I've been on Nexplanon/Implanon pretty much since it came out in the US and I love it beyond belief.

The one negative side effect is that it can cause irregular bleeding/spotting. But about 1/3 of women have their periods stop altogether by the end of iirc the first year.

Uggh tail end now but this one was pretty nasty. At one point the pad had sorta attached to itself in the morning, and it was fuckin soaked of course, and as I peeled it off my underwear it got a bit stuck and then abruptly came away, and blood went *everywhere*. Spattered. Thankfully the toilet has its own tiny room in my house so I didn't manage to coat anyone's toothbrush or anything but it still looked amazing. I just kind of stared at it for a second like, wow. Wow okay. Good morning to you too.

Oh, and Jones was there too.

The Nexaplanon made me bleed pretty much constantly for the year+ I had it, along with giving me 0 libido and turning off any taps so that in the rare spaces between periods it was like dry desert sands down there. I really didn't want rid of it, because the security of knowing I couldn't get pregnant was so good, but my body just hated it.

I've heard it works better for other people though!
