But interestingly, recently some lesser-known facts about a woman's 28-day cycle was released through P&G's "Happy Period" movement. (http://www.happyitshere.com)<br /><br />Apparently, our hair looks great on day 12, we're better drivers on day 7 and am more articulate on day 8!<br /><br />I guess there's always a good side of things to look at. Especially since this is a part of our lives we can't actually avoid. =)Belinda Anghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13740936747059728188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135550822601139497.post-1998559616544974852009-06-27T01:25:48.227+02:002009-06-27T01:25:48.227+02:00Hahahahaha!

My periods are & have always been horrendous. In HS I would even miss a couple of days each month because of my cramps. They are unbearable.<br /><br />My Husband doesn't understand. He says I can control my mood swings & don't have to be so bitchy. Ummm, I think he has a death wish. I may fulfill that wish for him someday if he doesn't go buy a damn vowel!<br /><br />i do suggest you go look into the endometrial ablation.It would help you immensely.<br /><br />And I think all men should have to experience periods for ONE YEAR. Cramps, PMS the whole bit. Maybe they will have more sympathy for us when they finally understand that losing cups of blood each month depletes your iron levels and makes you lethargic. And that wild hormonal dips make us moody, hungry & in need of some TLC.<br /><br />I truly hate the fact that our periods are still considered our "curse" or "what we deserve" by some extreme Christians because we are women & descendants of Eve. Boneheads!<br /><br />And about men having to experience periods...they have a pill to make them bigger, last longer, get it up in the first place, so why can't there be a pill to give them PMS and another one to take ours away? Oh, yeah, it's called tequila...Shan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016900159511069626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135550822601139497.post-74565635425405033332009-06-26T03:38:16.325+02:002009-06-26T03:38:16.325+02:00And just a little aside here.

My OBGYN and I had just decided to do the hysterectomy thing....when menapause took over. BTW...my husband had to wear a pad last week because he had some surgery done on the back side...LOL...he was so funny...it would turn loose and the sticky part would catch his hair and he would look shocked. I laughed myself silly watching him hop to the bathroom to "fix" himself...he understands a lot more now...and I am loving the lesson! Hope you feel better son...BTW...give up caffeine (coke, tea, chocolate...a day or so before..and the first couple of days)...it worked for me.

My periods were A-W-F-U-L and they just kept getting worse so finally I broke down and whined to my gyno.<br /><br />She put me on Yaz...this is my second month and I only had 1-2 days of real, honest period with NO pain. Yep, I said it - NO PAIN! <br /><br />That's the good part; the bad part is that I'm having some spotting issues & it's only my second pack. Until I've been using it 3-4 months I won't know if this is a common occurrence or not. <br /><br />Men should have to experience this just ONCE to understand the suffering (and ickyness) involved with what we go through every month.Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16775110752834313420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135550822601139497.post-59382629558727616582009-06-25T21:20:06.862+02:002009-06-25T21:20:06.862+02:00im so sorry your periods are such agony for you.. ...im so sorry your periods are such agony for you.. fortunately ive never suffered anything even close to what you describe. i do encourage you to check out the other ladies' ideas and i also encourage you to come over to my blog on eating the angel way for ideas to improve your overall wellbeing... xox.... annieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040674254150310726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135550822601139497.post-39474679954235195112009-06-25T20:33:39.538+02:002009-06-25T20:33:39.538+02:00Three words for you:

Tr...Oh hunny, ya preachin to the choir on this one. Try having all that AND having a body that refuses to schedule it for the same time every month so you have no damn clue when it's gonna show up. You live in pads from the day that you're due until it actually shows up "just in case" all the way until you're done (which means a good 2 weeks late to as late as 2 months). Yeah fun times. No pain killers work AT ALL...not even a double dose of Vicodin (ask me, I tried it once). I use the Equate menthol patch (or the Icy Hot one if I'm feeling extravagant) around the front AND back AND still scream for my heating pad. The husband has taken to throwing cinnamon muffins in the livingroom before entering (because we simply CANNOT be the NORMAL woman and crave chocolate that time of month...oooh no...gotta be lemon or cinnamon and sometimes both!). <br /><br />I find what sometimes helps is a nice pot of <a href="http://www.herbs2000.com/herbs/herbs_catnip.htm" rel="nofollow">catnip tea</a>. The stuff in it that makes cats go nuts actually is supposed to help calm the contractions so they don't hurt so bad. <br /><br />I remember when I was still dating idiotboy (the first husband), I was visiting his place. Knowing I was due, I had placed a pad in "just in case". I'm glad I did because wouldn't you know, I started. I guess I turned at least 5 shades whiter than normal and doubled up as though I'd been slugged in the gut. He had the nerve to ask..."Does it *REALLY* hurt *THAT* badly?" in that snarky tone he had. Heh. I slipped off the barstool I'd been sitting on and asked "I dunno, would this hurt?"...while I said it I took a swing at his family treasury and stopped a quarter inch from the package....did I mention I used to wear these really long, clawlike fingernails? Yeah, woulda been shishka-idiotboy for sure. I think he got the point.LadyStyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17020724106526697135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135550822601139497.post-52031200926737197572009-06-25T17:55:57.345+02:002009-06-25T17:55:57.345+02:00you're 100 % right - that's the dumbest sl...you're 100 % right - that's the dumbest slogan in the world!<br /><br />i am, however, thankful for birth control pills. light flow for 2 days, then extremely light flow for 2. i guess that's as happy as a period can get.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793109148879037341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135550822601139497.post-64558218784248213932009-06-25T17:55:23.109+02:002009-06-25T17:55:23.109+02:00Jeannie I kid you not I was exactly like you befor...Jeannie I kid you not I was exactly like you before I had the "Novasure" procedure done. <br />I haven't had a period in over two years now.
