Haha spotting and going to the nurse everyday at school for nausea and lightheadedness is so fun I hate my birth control meds :D
(my school also made me get a covid test cuz i had 1* covid symptom, that being nausea because of my new med

*cuz i hadnt been lightheaded yet

Don't know that anyone's mentioned this one yet, but having to shower. Constantly. Feeling like you smell bad even when you've just showered. Even though nobody else can smell anything, the idea of that possibility is mortifying.

I feel bad that girls have to go through these things, it seems like a nightmare

I can't even get rid of the smell when I'm actively drowning in soap

Same :(((((
I mean, I do have a more acute sense of smell than average so it's probably not. Still annoying after though.
Also I need more clean underwear but I can't be bothered to do laundry.

I become a disgusting monster on my period who wears the same pair of underwear for a whole week and just changes the pad

sorry to get caught up on such a small detail, but AFAB people would be a slightly better term for people who menstruate ^^

I'm a monster on my period in general. Do not give me anything sharp (ever really but eh).

I KNEW I WASNT THE ONLY ONE THAT DID THAT! (I mean… I never wear the same pair for the entire week, but fewer pairs definitely)
Like seriously, I don't want all of it stained, so… ye

i do this too but it does add to the thing that (i think) bec said about the showering and feeling like you smell

I just got my period during swim practice and am physically unable to deal with tampons and… ugh. Just ugh.

i know this thread hasn't been very active, but may i say, i got mine early today and i wanna die

I haaaate getting mine early. It's like,,,, why.
Fun story, I got my period on the same day I got dishonourably discharged (read: fired) from a job, and bc of stress my period was super light for three days, went away, I had spotting and cramps for a week, and then it returned in full flow. Not fun. And now I'm very hormonal and that's not fun either.

I am due for mine any day now and every time I wake up I gotta check and be like "Hath God sent the floods to wipe out all of us, or will I live another day??"

That’s an entire mood, and one I can identify with.

Random question that’s not really period related, but does anyone else get rashes when they’re super stressed? I get them on my stomach, they look like an allergy rash.

When I get stressed or it gets really hot my excema flares up

I just started and now I can't sleep. My back hurts too.

Oh my gosh meeeee

Last time I had my period I had to bike 9-12 miles bc we were on vacation and I think that's the closest I've ever felt to death.

Like I know rationally that it wasn't going to kill me but the lizard brain was like "ouch crampy crampy hot hot hot we're gonna drop dead"

Last I got my period I was at the gym and didn't realize I was bleeding so when I got home I had bled through my underwear and shorts-

Pads suck. Tampons suck. Diva cups suck. Don't even get me started on going to the bathroom with a partially used pad and then you get blood all over your legs. Nasty. I've never felt so unclean

Tampons freak me out and I will never wear one

I've worn one once and I hated every second

I've been trying with the cup and I just cannot get it to work

I've heard it's messy as hell when you take it out and I'm not about that
I also don't want to have to rinse it off every time I need to empty it

I cannot tell you how many times I've accidentally bled through stuff. Even when I have a pad on, it always finds a way to move out of position, so then I ruin the underwear and sometimes the pants/shorts I'm wearing. Oh, and the times I've thought it ended just for it to start back up again… (For some context, my periods are a bit weird since I was on birth control for like a year, stopped recently, and they've only come back a couple months ago. Oh, and for the record, I'm also fifteen. The whole birth control thing was for a medication I had to take at some point. This is getting personal, but I might as well provide some context for why so this isn't unintentionally worrying)

as a enby (nonbinary person) and AFAB I hate the menstrual cycle, with a frickin' passion.

Tampons freak me out and I will never wear one

I concur - I used to think I was the only one who didn't want to wear them. I got super stressed out in case I got my period on holiday and I couldn't go in the sea because I cannot deal with tampons
