I woke up at 6am this morning and I could tell I was on my period. Not because I had goo gathering in a pool in my ass crack, but because it felt like someone shoved their arm up my vagina and clamped a fist around my lower organs while simultaneously punching my inner thighs. Not only that, but I gain 5-10 pounds during my period, which I assume is water weight, because it comes off once it's over. But during my period I always look like I'm 5 months pregnant.

sometimes, when it's especially bad, I break out into a high fever during the night and sweat like a pig. Sometimes, the cramps are so bad, i vomit. Sometimes, I seriously contemplate suicide with thoughts like 'wow. this is going to happen every month of my young life.

ITT: period horror stories. also, what kind of birth control is best for eliminating periods? Has anyone tried one of those "four periods a year" pills?

I've gone to the doctor several times because of my period cramps. I too feel like someone is pulling on my internal organs and that I'm bleeding 5 gallons of blood a day. I have two sizes of pants in my closet. I have my normal sized ones, and then I have other pairs that are literally two sizes larger, because my stomach gets so bloated that I can't fit into a normal pair of pants. I go from a size 4 to an 8, for FIVE DAYS. At work, I sometimes have to take a break on the first two days of my period, because the pain is so bad that I start crying (painkillers have no effect; the only thing that has worked was vicodin, and I'm pretty sure that it's illegal for me to take that purely for menstrual pain).

I found that the nuva ring definitely helped my period cramps, however, it does not eliminate my period. As for the "4 periods a year" birth control pills, I personally don't want to try them, simply because I need my period to indicate whether I might be pregnant or not. Since I regularly have fits of nausea and other pregnancy symptoms, my period is pretty much the one thing I rely on if I'm worry about pregnancy.

How old are you? That's how I felt up until I went on birth control. And I think getting older helps calm it down. When I was 13-16 I'd have to miss school EVERY month because it felt like I was dying. Sometimes I wanted to knife my innards.

Go on birth control.

I dont have a period. I'm a man, baby.

Sometimes, though, I guess I do get some pee or something on my drawers and then I'm kind of like "damn, this is worse than a period. this is piss, and it's in my pants. fucking girls got it easy."

Usually I'm pretty lucky. My period only lasts three days, is fairly moderate and I get nearly no cramps. I do get really bloated and break out though, which sucks.
But once every four months or so, I'll get blindingly painful cramps like someone's stabbing a crowbar up my crotch as fast and often as they can and all I can do is lie on the couch and hope it goes away soon.

My poor BFF gets 2 periods a month, and just started to take birth control because of it.
I, on the other spectrum, haven't had a full blown period in god knows when. I just spot. I need to go back on birth control so I can actually have a monthly cycle.
I worry I'm becoming a man.

No period horror stories here. I get very mild cramps usu. on the second day and then it goes away. Consistently 6 days with no particularly heavy flow. That said, it's still annoying enough that I want it to go away forever. I'm thinking of threatening a doctor to go with the Her-Option treatment.

Until then, has anyone ever tried a, whaddayacallit, menstrual cup? I was looking at them the other day, because i hate wearing pads and I can never get a tampon in right (still!). They're reusable plastic or rubber and you can keep them in for 12 hours. I was going to try it.

Not going to have kids, so I wish I could just tell my body to chill the fuck out. "How about a baby this month, huh?" "No, stop that." "Oh...okay... How about next month then?" "No you fucker. Die."

My periods are pretty terrible. I'm usually skipping months and when I get it I'm in HORRIBLE pain. It hurts to get out of bed, even. They're heavy as fuck and I go through a bunch of pads a day(I cant use tampons right, they're always uncomfortable). I've gone to a doctor and she did tests and everything- but couldnt find anything wrong. I'd really like to start birth control but I dont want that to fuck up having children in the future, if that isn't fucked up for me already.

2 periods a month sucks so much. Back when I first started having mine I was going through that. I can't remember having any cramps or bloating or anything, but it was weird having two damn periods a month.
So I went on birth control and my cramps were like nothing I'd ever experienced before then or after that. For two or three days straight, at the beginning of my period I couldn't stay in school. I'd just stay at home and roll around on the floor in blankets and try to go to sleep so I couldn't feel anything.

You have to bleed monthly..for seven whole days, and the only thing you can do about it is wear a giant uncomfortable plaster in your knickers(that always rolls itself up and un-sticks)..and you get to feel all the warm blood contract out.. warm and sickly dribbling out of yourself werever you go..and when you sit, y'know what happens, it builds up, untill you stand then- gushes out, then if you dont carry baby wipes with you itl congeal into brown sludge and stick to you,so if you stand in a slightly different pose were your sanitary town isnt contacting you..when it does all the blood will be cold, but there always tampons.. having to violate yourself with dry bits of cotton on string, so werever you go theres a dull ache becuase the vaginal muscles are gripping it, and when you pull it out its twice as big, swolen with mangy blood, then theres the pain, if you have it lucky its only as bad as a toothache in your stomach that makes your legs feel like lumps of lead, but if you have it bad, youre stuck on your hands and knees infront of the bog throwing up from pain clutching a water bottle untill the womb decides it doesnt wanto push anymore blood out of that tiny pin hole at the top of your vagina, and thats only periods then theres the random distarge before your period, and after..and whenever youve had sex if the penis has hit the top to many times youl feel like crawling into a corner for hours, and dont even get me started on pregnancy.

I was always very irregular but I didn't get my period for two whole years when I was in high school. It was awesome, I would brag about it to my friends. My hormones weren't peaking, or something, so eventually I had to go on birth control, and then I got my period monthly again. Shitty, but it's really light and only lasts four days.

The worst experience I've had happened when one day I left in a rush and went to work without putting in a tampon. I was wearing black pants and I unknowingly bleed all the way through the pants so the blood got on my hands when I standing there fully clothed in the midst of tons of people, mostly strangers. Somehow no one noticed because the pants were so dark, but I had to stuff toilet paper in my panties for the rest of the day.

I'm on the pill for contraception, but it's great to get a lighter, much less painful period for only 4 days a month.
Prior to that, I used self-adhesive heating pads and sometimes Tylenol with Codeine. There's a lot of different routes, but you really should figure out one that works for you because that sounds unbearable.

Womens, want to know something interesting? The hormone mix in certain variations of the pill actually stops the period from happening, if you take it daily. Those little white pills are just sugar pills, to keep you in the habit. During trailing, women complained about not having their period, so they were introduced to give the taker a "period" (it's not actual ovulation, just withdrawal symptoms from the pill).

There are versions out without the placebos, see Anya or Lybrel.

It would be a bad idea to simply stop taking the placebos as there are many different formulations out there and they won't all do the same thing if you do.
>> Miss/fit/ !CX5ZjxjyRA

You're a fucking moron if you think most women on BC don't already know this. I skip my periods every time I go on vacation by just throwing out the placebos and continuing the next pack. Any bitch with half a brain should know it.

OP you should get pregnant
your biology is trying to tell you that and the chemicals in your brain will not let you be happy unless you do. there are several species of mammal in which the female dies if she does not reproduce, but the human is just tortured until she does. it is an unfortunate consequence of evolution, but we are animals who entire existence is based around to reproductive process. if you decide not to get pregnant, see a psychiatrist, because you are at very VERY high risk of suicide. it is not your fault and you are not in control of the situation and there is nothing to be ashamed of because of this.

Pain is nothing, if you want pain try force feeding yourself oatmeal, protien powder, brown rice and steamed chicken every 2 hours, everyday. Its tasteless, it makes your stomach churn for hours, and you have to constantly surpress your gag reflex on an hourly basis.

I still throw up on accident once every few months.

Then going to the gym and disabling yourself so that you can barely move right the next day. Then go running and you try not to move your arms or back because they hurt like fuck the day after you lift.

Then do it all over agian the next day.

I still cant get my damn seatbelt on the day after I do shoulders or deads.

Men who carry large ammounts of muscle at low bodyfat pay for it with their happiness.

No one who lifts without steroids or pro-hormones enjoys their lifestyle. They do it because we have muscle dysmorphia and when we look in the mirror we still think were small,

Not a choice for me and about 60%+ of gym rats, its a disorder that no one cares about and where not going to do anything about either.

Why do you think bodybuilders take steroids until their legs are so big they can barely walk.
Its not for the money, its because they have a mental disorder.

You cant stop, you get depressed if you miss a workout, your never happy with yourself, you keep telling yourself just 10 more pounds, just 10 more pounds...

Its like a chronic depression senario, your always just a little out of reach of your goal, its always just over the next hill.

It doesnt matter how big you get you can never see it, people tell you your a giant, you cant see it.

Im a little over 210 pounds at 6 foot, I cant see it, you find some angle you look small at and thats how you see yourself no matter what.

No one cares, and why should they.

I'm seriously considering going on BC, because I skip periods so badly. I seriously have them like, every four months or so. Which sounds like a blessing- and to be perfectly honest, I don't really miss those painful motherfuckers- but hormone regulation and health and all that shit dictates that I see a doctor.
Anyway, when I do have a period, the cramping is this constant, throbbing pain that becomes instant nausea and vertigo if I try to stand up. Also, I completely lose my appetite as long as I have cramps- which means that any medication that I take just pretty much sits in my stomach not doing shit, because the idea of eating anything makes me want to run for a bathroom. This is on top of the backaches and insane fatigue.
Tl;dr: shit sucks.

Oh gawd those four periods a year pills don't work, if you REALLY want to get rid of them, go on Depo-Provera, an injection taken once 3 months. After the second shot onwards, you just don't have periods anymore, apparently.

I opted to go on the Implanon (3 year implant in upper arm) and it's made those horrible period cramps disappear, though I break out in sweat for no reason often.

Once, I bled so much during my period, my sanitary pad started leaking, then staining my pants (which, thankfully, were black). Even though other people may not have seen (or smelt) me, I think I was in the toilets with wads of tissue rammed up my crotch, first washing the panties then wearing them soggy, then trying to launder my pants. I actually called my mother who was volunteering at school (nothing like starting periods at the tender age of 11) who was helping me wash out the blood. Whenever another kid or mother passed by, she told them I had sat on ketchup. KETCHUP!

But worst so far was some day I was eating with my parents. The pain was quite strong and I just had to get up on the middle of the meal and lay down in the couch. It was so strong I thought I was going to pass out, total weakness. Oh, just for comparison, I've never passed out in my life.

I have horrible cramps too. They hurt a fuck-ton and make me throw up and faint and cry, so I usually two or three times the recommended doses of advil and tylenol and attempt to rest in bed for a couple days until it passes. Every once and a while I'm a complete bitch too for the first day or so, but I'm usually not awake enough to actually bitch at anyone. I should go on birth control or something...
