#menstrual bleeding

[luminarai]

hey, hi, I was just on the former bird app and came across this info from a brand new study and now I cannot stop screaming internally??? what the actual fuckkkk

theres' an article from the guardian here and here is the actual study:

[party-gilmore]

that 2 Hour “waiting for juuuuust one more clot to drop before the bedtime tampon. mmmm okay no one more. mmmmmmmmmm i can probably get one more out. mmm-“ Bedtime Bathroom Routine mood 😔

[larjb3]

My hospital is saying I owe more money to them. Which is false. Because the claims are from after I met my out of pocket max. This is so irritating and not okay. And I'm bleeding again for NO reason. Unless restarting my birth control made this happen? Which I doubt but may be wrong. I don't know. Everything hurts. My counts are low. I don't have the capacity to deal with this right now.

moon syncing tip:

stop working during your bleed! i know there are those of you that go to school or go to work and are unable to take days of of work, but if possible, try to take off the first day of your bleed each month. when that’s not possible, do NO EXTRA WORK. create a system in your home where those who occupy your space with you are able to take care of you during that time of the month. if you live alone, plan your meals ahead + clean your home ahead of time. your bleed is meant to be a time to rest for a reason. you’re experiencing multiple bodily functions at once and your body needs to to recuperate so that this time can actually be used as a time for replenishment + rejuvenation. as women, it’s important that we start taking that time of the month very seriously.

you ever get off the wall angry looking up symptoms of “condition you fear you have” of the day and all symptoms are either “well if you have this you have to see a doctor IMMEDIATELY- or they’re unremarkable side effects of having a female reproductive system”

that and the time I was trying to research diseases for some writing, because I wanted to see how a vagina/uterus would react, and ALL I could find was “…. You mean during pregnancy, right? You want to know what will happen to a baby, yes?”

no cunt, I want to know what will happen to someone with an uterus when all other internal organs go haywire

(Forgot what the name of the order/church Helsknight is a part of) but being part of that while AFAB must be absolutely wild every month. I can just imagine a knight lying on the floor in absolute agony with a hot watter bottle over their stomach like "hels yeah, my sain't must love me right now"

"Saint of Blood and Steel," they pray miserably, laying face down on the floor, curled around a hot pad, "if I dedicate this next 5-10 day period to you, could you pretty please make the cramps stop? I am literally actually begging--"

I wish I could tell every young person with a uterus (especially with bad cramps and/or dysphoria and/or depression, etc) that there is a decent chance they just straight up don’t need to live with that. don’t let the stigma surrounding contraceptives and the expectation that you should just ride it out and suffer win. for the love of god if there’s a chance you can lighten or even stop your period and it’s symptoms all-together, unless there’s a legit health concern, your doctor should at least make you aware of that option. I want every young person to know that “birth control” is not just for birth control and it has the potential to make your life infinitely easier to live. do not give in to anti-pill propaganda im serious

me: “why have i been so ferally horny lately”

“ohhh i’m ovulating”

the odd thing about the "words don't mean anything" afab transfem crowd is that perisex trans people can just as easily call themselves intersex for some of the otherization they face during transitioning and it has been mentioned time & time again how interphobic it is to assume you're intersex because you're in the middle of transitioning or whatever you think "makes" you intersex. somehow all of that falls apart when it comes to transfemininity.

but what's even funnier is that, it's actually possible for perisex people to find out that they were intersex all along. because we aren't actually all that rare. ime at least i enter a group of 5 where 2 of us are intersex and 2 more come out of it realizing they were intersex too, or at least considering the possibility of it & unlearning sex dimorphic science, and it explains all those weird encounters with cis people, the hormonal issues they never even thought about because they're 'normal' externally, the family secrecy etc.

[phocids]

my period is actually really weird and gross. it's like I'm giving birth to sludge

[sparklerzii]

"periods aren't that bad!!!" exactly!!! frfr

[lem0n-a1d]

Being trans is cool and swag and all but at least cis boys don't have to worry abt getting blood all over themselves

[theswampbug]
