TMI but I started birth control pills 3 months ago to try to get a handle on my ummmmmm intolerable periods

And so far 2 of 3 of them have been Noticably Less Painful

But 100% of them have been Absolutely Baffling.

Like I spent nearly 2 decades with my Unaltered Period, let's say it took, ehhhh, a generous 5 years to stabilize, that's nearly 15 years of being Extremely Familiar with the Progression Of Bleeding Times

And now it's like. Am I still on my period???? Is there blood on the pad? No. There hasn't been since day 1. But is there blood on the toilet paper? Ohhhhhh yes. Dear God yes. Doesn't seem like it's going to stop any time soon either.

I was thinking about the logistics of what it would be like being in debt to Alucard. Maybe he’s saved your village and you don’t have anything to give in return so you offer yourself as a slave for a set time. You’d be willing to do whatever he wanted.....

These cramps have me in the fucking trenches rn I’m so down bad😖

This pregnancy has been so difficult it’s a marvel to me anyone has more than two children. Like first pregnancy was difficult but so exciting and new!! This one I know what it results in and that’s amazing and worth it but my god. It’s so much harder being pregnant a second time, being pregnant while having a toddler to care for, being pregnant knowing the horrors the next stage will bring. It is an amazing privilege and worth it but God!!!

Also I got diagnosed with an Irritable Uterus and it feels like such a medieval diagnosis lmao. You’re goddamn right my uterus is irritable and my humours are so unbalanced rn

sometimes my period cramps hit really bad out of nowhere and there's nothing to do except ride it out so i end up doing those breathing exercises they teach you in lamaze or whatever for labor contractions.... im sitting here trying to write an email like panting through my mouth until the worse waves of pain pass ripppp

Just realised I’m at work for a training day on what will probably be day 1 of my period. And I have a shift booked on day 3. Haaaaaaaa

i hate when people are like "masturbating on your period relieves menstrual cramps yayy" cause if i orgasm when i have cramps they just get more intense 😭😭

I'm not normally one for subposting and I don't want to make a habit of it but

"You only learn about this stuff in college! *posts medical information that isn't just incomplete it's just actually false*"

really has me doing a deep sigh. Maybe I'm going to have to do a better post on that whole topic at some point (because it is interesting). it's been a while since I've looked up good sources for it.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and absolutely miserable but I scheduled my induction today at least!! In 2.5 weeks I’ll be having this baby 🙌 The light is at the end of the tunnel, I just have to fight a dragon first lol

Ngl I would take a day off if my period pains were hell

That shit ain’t no joke. There are times where I can barely walk 2 steps

Oof that sounds really bad, mine aren't that extreme unless it hits me in the middle of the night and I haven't had time to take painkillers.

I'm just glad it's not a chronic-every month event like for some people who have like endometriosis or PCOS. I just can feel drained even once the pain has receded enough, and it will come back if I don't take painkillers every few hours BUT it's just for like a day or two max. Ugh periods SUCK.
