  • For me it was nose bleeds and breast tenderness that my breast felt better in a bra.

    • boob pain tho :/

  • Mine got me... Caved in and ate the most delicious sugary cupcake LOADED with frosting onto.

    Regretful now.. but it was SOOO worth it at the time.

    - Nice MyTake! :]

    • thanks :)

  • I don't usually get irritable during my period. More often, I get very teary-emotional lol.

    Thank goodness for birth control. My periods are drastically worse without it!

    • lols those emotions

  • Lol, yes!
    I literally lay out all my dark jeans and shorts for period week XD was gonna wear white, oh no, puts it back, haha.
    And ice cream, omg, I literally get spasms of pain as the cold hits my stomach.

    • black clothes for dayyyyyyyyss ;)

  • Oh god!! I get nauseous and cramps about half an hour before my periode kicks in, and I can't relax until I puke (TMI?) then, I get hungry but the simple sight of food unsettles me so I can't eat.. Combine the constant pain, with the nausea and the hnuger and you get me with my bear attitude LOL no one should approach me because I get savage!! and all I want is a distraction, so my ritual is curling in my bed (in comfy clothes YES) and watching animal documentaries hahahha! weird huh? and how can you manage not taking pain killers? :o I could never, sometimes, I don't even wait 4 hours before taking another pill.

    • i "divorced" from painkillers

  • You forgot to mention that most of your close guy friends can recognize when your on your period through a number a ways. The easiest way to tell is when your freind who always wears jeans is wearing sweat pants.

    • lols good observation

  • Very accurate. Then, the next week, you're absolutely fine again. I was wondering if there was an age when you stopped "leaking."

    • yea... at menopause

  • Hahaha True... and rough.
    I hate it when I have it and when I don't I forget all about it... And then it comes back around and I hate it again.
