My last two periods lasted for a little over a month each. Shortly before COVID-19, some doctors discovered multiple fibroids chilling on/in my uterus, one that was the size of a cantaloupe. I made an appointment to have them removed/burned to death/whatever, and the appointment was supposed to be in April.  edit: Big Beef City posted:
Stop haunting me with your ghost periods, drat it. edit2: Spinz posted:(Unless you have really painful periods, I didn't thank God but menopause has been really rough for me so arrggh.) Once I had such bad period pain that I had to crawl on my hands & knees to the bathroom to vomit, and then when I lost the strength to do that, I lied on my side in bed & put a plastic bag next to my face that I could roll over & puke into. The pain abruptly stopped, and I thought that I had literally died, and I was actually relieved. Then it came back. I didn't call an ambulance because I didn't have insurance.  Grevling posted:I got some free tampons when I began at university and I've held on to them. I don't know why, I guess I think if I ever have a lady friend or lover have an emergency I will gallantly offer her one of these tampons. So far this has not happened and I suppose it's unlikely it will. I'll have any ladies reading this know they're very fun and colorful. In my experience, free tampons are always regular, and the last time I used a regular tampon, I bled through it in like seven minutes. Big Beef City posted:Also do any girls here have any tips or tricks for finding your menstruation or tricking it to come out of hiding? As a man sometimes mine plays very hard to get and is extremely elusive. I'd like to be in charge of it and, I don't want to say 'show it who's boss', but at least be more aware of where it is and what it's up to. Thank you. Poop.

I've never lied about being on my period but this one time I told a dude (truthfully) that I had my period, and he still tried to stick his unprotected dick into my tamponed vagina. Prism Mirror Lens posted:Actually there is one sorta good thing about periods: doing a period poop so massive and wondrous that you feel all the pain leaving your body as if god himself is giving you a rectal massage Period poops make me feel like I'm making GBS threads out all of my organs, but in a good way. Skratte posted:I went to a doctor once because I was in such HORRIBLE and sudden pain when I woke up and he was just like "There's blood in your ovaries" and that was it, then he left. no explanation. I think it was an ovarian cyst bursting. loving cis man doctors. The pain was so bad I almost threw up, and I'm one of those people who just doesn't throw up. Worst pain I was ever in. And I've had broken limbs and ribs, and had a broken bottle jammed into my leg.

The pain abruptly stopped, and I thought that I had literally died, and I was actually relieved. Then it came back. This is eerily parallel, and I'm glad that there might be some kind of explanation for it, even if that explanation doesn't really mean anything now. quote:My very first period I got in math class in like 6th grade, I wasn't bleeding yet, I don't think, but I was cramping like loving hell and I had no idea what it was yet, so I went up to the teacher and asked if I could go to the nurse. In front of the whole class she very loudly shouted "You're just on your period, sit back down!" I don't know what the hell her problem was. Embarrassed the poo poo out of me. Then you know the fun thing that happens in school where whoops sometimes you leave a red splotch on a school chair in the shape of your rear end. 1) Your teacher is a horrible person. 2) I am so very, very glad that I got my first period in the summer (my period-versary is actually coming up). 3) Leak science goes like this: *hour 1 - no leaks, not even close to leaks *hour 2 - same *hour 3 - same, so you start to relax a little *hour 3:00:01 -

Dixville posted:I think my least favorite part of periods is like the last day or 2 when it's all black and chunky coming out. I'm experiencing that right now and let me tell you, I don't like it one bit! Since my periods started getting extra extra extra long, I have at LEAST 5 days of that weak, dark brown, vaguely clotty, spotting right between the "just enough to see it when I wipe" and "just enough that I can't wear underwear by itself" stages -- at the beginning AND end of my periods. They last longer at the end and eventually it stops, but it's like, as soon as I get comfortable, I'll poop or something and it'll come back. Facebook Aunt posted:The yogurt aisle is some bullshit these days. When I was a kid there was plain, fruit on the bottom or fruit mixed in, and maybe 2 or 3 brands, and like 4 different fruits. Fage Total w/ Strawberry is my go-to yogurt. The grocery store nearest to my apartment has Fage 2%/fat-free strawberry, 2%/fat-free blueberry, Total plain, and Total honey. I go with Total honey because 2% & fat-free Fage tastes like plastic, and so does Chobani. edit: Who What Now posted:My wife tells me exactly what to buy and then I buy that exact thing. It's a good system. Grocery lists are the best, and tomorrow is circular day, which is when I take inventory & write my first draft.

Ralph Crammed In posted:I had an episiotomy so I had stiches which meant I had to make sure they didn't get infected so I had to rinse them off after I peed and I was supposed to pee after I breastfeed because it would reduce my uterus size (?!?!?!) and I had to breastfeed at least once every two to four hours. So for two or three weeks I had to splash my cooter after peeing with a liter of cold water like ten times a day (cause I didn't want to wait for warm water to heat up as I just wanted to get back to bed cause my healing episiotomy was so sore) and as a result the toilet was just drenched with bloody water all the time. Husband had to clean it constantly cause I was in too much pain/busy with a newborn. *adds this post to my already lengthy list of reasons not to ever have children*

xcheopis posted:My decision as a pre-teen to never ever have children was a good one and I stand by it.  I don't remember this but apparently the first time I said I didn't want to have children, I was 7. Why someone was asking a 7-year old whether or not they wanted to have children, I will never know. When I was 13, my mom said (I swear there was context but I don't remember what it was) that she had already picked out her grandmother nickname, and I was creeped out. Now I'm 33, and as the only child, I'm the end of the line. My position on having children has never wavered, and I channel what little maternal instinct I have into cats & plants. It's a good thing because my exit-only uterus is covered in fibroids and will likely have to be either removed or embolization-ed (embolized?) into infertility.

Tulalip Tulips posted:Oh I had a pair. I didn't like them much but grandma hated them so I woud wear them to her weird church that was founded by Sylvia Browne to annoy her. My spiteful feelings and annoyance at being forced to go to a church run by a psychic could not win over my embarassment at the thought of having a huge period stain there. Sylvia Browne was a ghoulish charlatan, and I'm glad she's dead. Spinz posted:I never had kids and have never regretted that decision for a single solitary second. Ralph Crammed In posted:Kids can be great if you want them When I was young enough that people felt comfortable trying to browbeat me into wanting children, I would tell them (truthfully): "My mom wanted me 100%, was happy to have me, and has always been loving & supportive, and even if I wanted a child even 99.9% instead of 100%, I wouldn't have one." Of course, I wanted a child 0%, but they didn't have to know. Gravitee posted:After my second birth, the doctor was stitching me up and complimented me on the generous blood flow I had in the region. And I'm like thanks? I think? I got complimented on my cervix once, but I don't remember exactly how. Tjadeth posted:it seems deeply hosed up to me that (at least in the US) you are almost certainly getting sedated for something like a colonoscopy, but when it comes to uterus-related procedures it's like "IUD placement? okay here's a tylenol, let's crack that cervix open" I have heard so many horror stories about IUDs. And I don't know the ins & outs of colonoscopies but the fact that people are sedated before they have them made me think that they basically shove a fire hose up there. edit: sigher posted:It ain't easy, once and ex and I were making some eggs and she cracked an egg and a piece of shell fell into the yolk in the skillet. I was the most simple fix in the world but she sat down on the kitchen floor in front of the stove and just started to cry heavily. I tried comforting her and asked "What's wrong? I got the shell out, it's okay!" and she just told me "I DON'T KNOW." This is how I react to everything during summer. Thank gently caress I don't have PMS or period mood swings.

I'm kind of surprised that I've never run into any "all of your problems will be fixed if you lose weight" doctors. That said, I have never had a checkup with a male doctor, which could be a factor. I'm 5'6" and 240 pounds and I could obviously stand to lose a CONSIDERABLE amount of weight, but all my vitals are always normal whenever I get a physical, and no one has ever given me poo poo about it.

Speaking of which, my WHITE underwear is for when I'm perioding by myself at home because white underwear is too easy to ruin to have public purposes.Elentor posted:I'm so loving flat that even when my boobs are sore I could still be used as a template for flat-earthers.
