Menstruation

Add a story, a question, an experience, a thought...

Ugh, I just had a shower and I already smell like a bag of onions

endometriosis cramps suck

can't even relax or concentrate or think straight

Aunt Flo came to visit today

Now the last few days on me being in a rage makes sense

What it is like to be a woman:

This is genuinely how I started my conversation with my bff : I am proud and happy to be a woman but sometimes the struggle is real haha

Wow, last night's emotions were brutal.

So glad they seemed to have passed. For realz

I am in a lot of pain rn 🥲🤌

So just give me the damn chocolate and no one else has to get hurt 🍫

Am I ovulating rn or do i soon?

I think I am bc and last month around the 12th I was ovulating

Ladies, do you find that you sleep a lot during "that time of month"?

I swear, I basically go into a coma for the first couple of days 😪 Feels like I'm under the influence of something even tho I haven't taken anything 🤔

Aunt Flo visited today...

Well I guess that's why I've been feeling so tired. My life makes sense now.

Ladies this one is for you, how do you manage your cramps?

So I have endometriosis and my period cramps are so bad pamprin and midol don't touch it. I use heat that really doesn't help. What do you all do to make your cramps more manageable?

On my period in a nutshell

Women - what’s one thing all men should know about periods?

Anyone else basically turn into "Sandy Squirrel Hibernation Mode" when they're going through their monthly hormones?

*Eats a ton* *Sleeps a ton* *Rages a ton* *Haggard as heck*

Is it normal to get extreme fatigue while menstruating?

Serious, this can knock me out for like 20 hours solid, no exaggeration I dunno, Could be because I get super buzzed and don't want to sleep for like a week before I start my cycle? 🤔

Nobody. Not a single soul:

My cravings rn: Seriously, today is one of those days where I just wanna eat all day 😤

Do We Need a “Period Dignity Officer?”

Of all the crazy things I’ve heard today, this one takes the biscuit. Natalie and Clayton Morris discuss the hiring of a man to be Scotland’s “Period Dignity Officer.” My view is WTH do we even need one. Women have been having periods since forever....

Menstrual Period Simulator

Allows couples to compare pain levels of a menstrual cycle. Hahaha Would you try it?

its a.... cupcake...

Gurls, how do you deal with period cravings? And wanting to just continuously eat everything during that time?

I really struggle to keep with in my calorie limit during this time and need a few pointers... 😔
