  • I think it would be like bi polar with blood and cramps

    • Pretty much.
      Some women hardly notice it except for the fact that they have to wear sanitary protection, and they don't even bleed that much, or for that long.

      Alas, I was not so fortunate. I tend to have an completely irrational meltdown 2 days before no matter where I am or what I'm doing, stomach cramp sometimes so bad I am clutching my chair in pain and crying, nerves on a knife-edge, skin break-outs, tiredness, and intense sugar cravings. On day 2 or 3 if I don't change my protection every 3 hours or so I can expect a nasty surprise in my underwear that won't come out in the wash. Sometimes that happens anyway. Keeping my bedsheets unscathed is a gamble unless I supplement the sanitary protection with tissue paper.

      Also, I have weirdly increased libido in the face of all of this.

      So, not a picnic.

      • Getting horny during this period... of having a period (god sounds like I am talking about high school) Must be common, I have herd this quite a lot.
        Ohhh and the comfort food! Can always tell when a family or friend is on the rag! They come home with bags full of cakes, donuts and ice cream, then stay in bed watching marathons of some garbage
