Girls, how does your period make you feel?

[Anonymous]

we all have different period woes. What are yours?

I'm on mine right now. I have an on and off headache, my stomach hurts (my actual stomach), my lower back/uterus area hurts, I am bloated, I can't stop eating, I keep getting hot, I want to cry but I'm not sad, and even my butthole fucking hurts (sounds weird but my friends say it happens to them too.) I'm so miserable. and I've got work tomorrow and I can't sleep well.

My periods are usually not this bad :/
what about you?

Mine thankfully has gone missing for a little while, back in a few weeks time, which I dread. I bloat as ridiculously as a week before hand, I get the munchies during, find exercising is difficult but still possible and mine are usually heavy. I have to fight off my boyfriend who gets horny and wants sex, when all I want is for him to disappear and for an amazing hot bath tub to appear and take away my aches and pains. Terrible little messy thing us girls all get. Painful or just a total nuisance. Sexually I feel horny mid way, maybe last day of my period I'll allow for my sexually deprived boyfriend to have some sex. Oh how terrible are we to hold back men from sex. I've tried it during the heaviest stages and it's both uncomfortable and fairly dry because the vaginal wall is 'shedding' so the wall coating changes...

Ew I don't think I could have period sex. I would feel to gross especially being all bloated! Haha. Periods suck.

[answeris42]

Yup, I agreed to it a couple of times but never again would I do it, it is just plain disgusting! Periods suck donkey balls! I'm enjoying the weeks I don't get them but I always know the signs now, even though my periods are still a little irregular, but I know the signs to look out for. I find during my period, I will have hot baths or showers, cups of herbal tea or normal teas, dark chocolate and maybe a heat pack. The heat packs come in so many cool designs now, I just bought a pink fluffy owl one a month ago... I was so excited haha!

Lol, i've never had my butt hurt because of pms, thank god.

Headaches, joint aches, my thighs hurt not sure if other women experience that or not, my breast get so tender that even my bra hurts them. I eat like the biggest pig for days, I seriously can't eat enough it feels like. I feel extremely tired the entire time and have no energy at all and I feel sad over the dumbest things ever.

I hate going to work when I have mine too, I hate walking around for so long and pretending to be in a good mood when I feel horrible but it's what we have to do lol

Before my period, I get super irritable. On my period, I get painful pressure down there, so my butt and vagina and everything else gets really sore from that. I get awful cramps, I get nauseous, I want to eat everything too if I don't feel like vomiting. I get fevers.. and my periods are very heavy and last 7 days, the symptoms last 5.. I'm anemic and I get so fatigued and weak on my period especially. I'm on continuous birth control now so I only get a period once every 3-4 months which is a RELIEF for me.

I don't really have woes for my period, it really is just annoying having to change pads and the pads make me really uncomfortable (and gross). But if I have to say my worse experience with period.. I'll have too say sometimes I sit in a bad position and it leaks through my pants/skirts and everyone can see it except me :( very embarrassing experience. and now I have to ask my friends to check my back for me constantly...

[Asker]

I think we've all been there done that! lol

[misscoffeehead]

I just finished mine today, I'm so glad. I hate that icky feeling, and I hate thinking it may leak. I can't sleep in certain positions that I would like being on my period. I get quite emotional, and I get tired. I get cramps on my first day of my cycle and that's it.

[ProfessorAsh]

Because of my level of self control and my low temperament which over powers my mood swings, I don't seem any different in the outside lol. I feel cramps sometimes which steals my appetite. Today I skipped a lot of meals. I also feel sore down there lol. Most of my periods are irregular and last 8-12 days. My shortest is 4 days

I usually get painful cramps, but I will occasionally get a severely painful one, and my last one, I spent tossing and turning all night with the pain, unable to get comfortable. When I got up, I felt dizzy and nauseous and also had a headache. I sometimes get emotional, indecisive (well, even more so!) and feel like crying. Usually though after day 1, I'm pretty much ok.

[zombiebabe]

Normally it makes me feel sleepy and low energy but I do not have any other symptoms. If you have bad cramps, green tea and almond chocolate are goooood :D

[Asker]

The first day or so my stomach is in hell... It feels like I'm just being stabbed in my lower abdomen.

[megaboo92]

[Rissyanne]
