ITT: Women bitching about their periods. Go away, boys.

So anyway, to all the female posters: Am I the only one that has a problem where about a week and a half after my menstruation ends, more of the stiff starts coming out with no warning? Its usually darker, but has no smell. No cramps or anything involved either.

Halp? What should I try to prevent this, if anything?

Pic slightly related.

Go get the depo-provera shot. Presto, no more periods. Also, your boyfriend can stop using a condom.

>stiff

Hm, nice typo. Obviously, I meant stuff.

I always wondered about things like that. Could hormonal shots and pills be considered dangerous, or can they permanently alter your body in some way, even after treatment stops?

If it's the dark stuff that's mixed in with the blood normally, that's the lining of the uterus, and it might just be the 'dregs'
....eew, as horribly gross as that sounds. Women on the pill usually have lighter periods and so that black stuff looks more apparent.

pic very unrelated.

First, grow a penis. That fixes all your problems. No more period. No more bitching. No more cooking and cleaning.

lately, my period's been starting up about 3 or 2 days before it really hits, then disappearing, then returning for 5 additional days. actually, it's really more like 4, but i wear tampons for up to 7 cause i still get drops of blood - does anyone else do this?

I'm not an MD, just a biochemist, but as I understand it, the primary risk associated with the various birth controls that suppress your period is a birth control failure, resulting in a pregnancy, which you don't notice until late because you're not having your normal monthly cycles anyway.

As I understand it, after the shot/implant/pills are exhausted, your cycles go back to normal after a few months.

I usually only wear a tampon the first two or three days and then coast the rest out on a pad, but yeah, I wind up wearing a pad for quite a few days after my period should have ended because of straggling blood.

And, like OP, I usually wear a very light pad in the halfway point of the cycle, because I'll occasionally get this brown, odorless stuff. I've tried douching the stuff out once it shows up, but it came back the next day anyway. Guuuuuh.

Dark red stuff that feels stiff yet somewhat gelatinous to the touch is your uterus lining. I had a medical abortion once and loads of it came out, big massive chunks - it was awesome.

OP here, yes, it does look like the black stuff. I'm not on any pill of any kind, though.

Why does it not all come out with the rest? Why does it wait a week or two?

maybe something about the shape of your uterus makes it take longer to get through?

Those are bits and pieces of your innards... specifically your uterus lining. Grin and bear it.

Besides bleeding, does anyone else get weird on their period? Not the stereotypical "ROAR KILL ALL MEN" kind. I get extreme insomnia and I cry whenever anyone says anything to me.

I have some sort of reaction or something to pads. It may just be friction rash, but whenever I wear one, I get really sweaty in my nether regions and break out in a rash along my left pantyline. This only happens when I wear pads, no matter what size or brand, scented or not scented, etc.

(Also, "Not Scented" pads are such a lie. They have a smell and I HATE IT.)

I get really lethargic. I act like I'm on Vicodin the entire time, but without the mildly entertaining high.

All period is uterus lining mai dear.

Op, it sounds like its just sort of the leftovers or the 'dregs' as someone else said. Many women find using a form of hormonal birth control not only regulates their period and lessens the uncomfortable symptoms associated with it. From my experience being on the pill has greatly reduced the length, and bad symptoms of my period. I know exactly what you're talking about with that annoying leftover stuff, and I think being on the pill has reduced it for me. Also of course, talking to a doctor you could get some better answers/solutions.

The solution to PMS and cramping is a full body massage, according to an ex of mine. She keeps telling me to get a job as a masseuse.

My boyfriend is one of those men that's under the mentality that pads and tampons are gross even if they're unused. *sigh* And yet, these same men don't find unused toilet paper to be gross.

A full body massage is the solution to any problem any woman could ever have, any time.

Well, that might require a bubblebath along with it.

One hopes the bubblebath would come after cauterization of the wounds.

Unless you like red bubbles.

Already taken. Works against me sometimes, I get less sex than I would like since she loves to fall asleep during a massage.

Then your masseuse isn't doing his job properly. Massages relax muscles, and when all muscles are relaxed, so are you.

Plus I keep having to tell her to relax or else she tenses up randomly and I have to go back to her leg or back or something.
