Oh nuuuuu good luck Pickles!

ooo good luck

i hate thattttt mine's so unexpected and it's just like "hey bitch i'm back" at random times

i hate thattttt mine's so unexpected and it's just like "hey bitch i'm back" at random times

mine's the same way!!
and it sucks cuz i don't show signs of being near the start of it for some reason (other than some minor cramps) and then it's like "surprise motherfucker" and my pants get ruined and just…. uughguughgugh

yessss like how ruDE- like did i invite you? no. leave. i don't show signs most of the time either. i've only ever cramped like 3 times in my life, but i do get emotional i guess. but i'm naturally unstable so it's hard to tell

The ONE day I don't bring a pad I'm about to start. Of course. I have anywhere from an hour to the middle of the night, I'm not good at guessing, and I'm praying that big titty satan waits until I'm at home to attack me ow cramps

Had a little over an hour. Hasn't gotten too heavy yet though so my clothes aren't permanently damaged. But owwwww my stomach hurts

Ouch

Hydrogen peroxide gets blood stains out of clothes for those who need it 🙃 I don't know if like this has been said or not, but yeah it does. Some hydrogen peroxide and some cold water will take that stain away. You may have to scrub it a little tho.

In a pinch, I've also used saline and dish soap. They didn't get everything out, but it was underwear, not pants, so

i've always been able to get it out with dawn dish soap and a toothbrush-

Water usually works for me–

Oxyclean. Gets the tough stains out.

My period (finally) showed up today, and I'm going to Puerto Rico on Monday… my period only seems to show up when I'm going away from home… hmph.

how rudeeee i just got mine this morning as well, it was pretty late, and i was lowkey looking forward to not having one this month cuz sometimes i just skip months but noOoOoO

Mine starts tomorrow, or at least around this time
I picked up ibuprofen, not the brand I usually take (I usually take smaller 200mg pills that you can take two of if you need the stronger dose), I take the smaller pills because the 400mg versions are bigger and harder to swallow + their casing disintegrates in my mouth leaving an awful taste if I don’t swallow fast enough
So this time I got 400mg versions but I did get liquid capsules and I took one yesterday for my headache and they don’t seem to disintegrate as quickly as the other ones

I highly recommend getting a period tracker (that’s how I know my period probably starts tomorrow, aside from minor cramps), I personally recommend getting Clue because that’s the one I use + it’s easy to use, and they use inclusive language

Yeah, period trackers are pretty useful!
But then there's me… who has a cycle that's worked like clockwork since it started.

oh hey, I have a uterus.

Period trackers are pog unless you're irregular, but the apps try their best to make predictions. I still recommend them too though, since they can be useful for other reasons. A lot of the time they'll provide information your mom or school didn't teach you about your reproductives. Plus, if you are irregular, it's still good to track how late or early you are so you're doctor can see. I use Flo which has quick pull up graphs and charts to show your doctor, and it tells you based on your logs when it might be time to see a doctor (though it is very girly and not my favorite. I would try something else but can't download apps :/).

I started my period on Sunday afternoon
despite not having cramps, I've been in this weird mood ever since it started

i used flo for awhile to track mine, but now i can't because my parents took away my phone so- and i need it now more than ever but whatever- uhm and i'm barely bleeding now and i've only been on mine for 3 days? it's weird, but i'm not complaining. i blame it on the birth control but i'm not upset if it's gonna make me have shorter periods AT ALL-

Lol, I'm not taking any medication but I typically don't bleed too much. I do have to stay far away from knives, however. I swear if I ever murder someone it will be on that special week.

im on my period and im in 8th grade so every 30 minutes " hey mrs. so and so can i go to the restroom." When she says no im jus like excuse me let me word it differently ahem LET ME GO TO THE BATHROOM NOW OR UR FLOOR WILL HAVE PERIOD BLOOD EVERYWHERE!!!!!

"special week" yeah, specially miserable smh. mine are weird and it's just like- b e n o r m a l

and im 13 so i cannot ask for birth control

i just got put on it, it hasn't seemed to change much, but then again it's only been a month.

Birth control doesn't stop your period… it just helps to regulate it…

welllll my doctor told me it might stop it? and that if it did it was fine, but yeah usually it just regulates it, that's why my mom put me on it in the first place

Yeah.. I think in some cases you can use it to stop it… But for the most part it's just to regulate, or because you don't wanna have kids.
But of course, I'm not a doctor, so idk for sure.

and im 13 so i cannot ask for birth control

Same here, just turned 13 a week ago

yeah my doctor said it depends on what kind it is

Yeah, you can stop your periods with birth control. I'm taking one, and it has a week of placebo pills. If you skip the placebo and start from the beginning again, I'm pretty sure that stops you from having periods, but you do risk spotting if you do that. Again, depends on the pill you use.
Personally I have not done that, as I am on the pill for mainly birth control purposes, and I want to have my period so I know everything is normal and okay.
But I will say my cycles have become very predictable and regular, and far less painful, so there's that perk if nothing else.
