Caution: Girl Stuff - Page 8

blueerica · 03-23-2007, 08:42 AM

Well, I have to say things seem better today. I'm wary and considering stopping by the store to pick up some PMS/cramps style pills to pop. I've have never, ever, ever in my life had anything like that happen... I have so much sympathy now for people who say that's what their normal periods are like. How lucky I have had it.

If I'm anything like my mom and my aunt, perimenopause should be awesome. Not!

I get the same thing if I skip. More cramping etc than usual.

I never had cramps when I skipped a period. But I had them for each period, so there you go.

Feel better, babe. Sleep always helps me a lot, and if you take the painkillers as the pain is beginning to build, you have a better chance of heading it off before it cripples you.

And chocolate, lots of chocolate.

Yes, chocolate is good stuff. Oh, and red meat

BE - I agree with you assesment. Yes, if I skip, I have massive issues the next cycle. I just want to curl up in bed.

I have never heard anyone else cite red meat, thank you for validating me!

This is exactly what it made me do too. 28 years was a scary number.

Nice to know I'm not the only one who gets a little iron-deficient

My appetite gets ALL wacky around that time. Sometimes I'm ravenous, and other times I can hardly eat (usually the bad cramp periods). Mostly, right before and during the first few days, I'm all about the red meat

katiesue · 03-23-2007, 10:32 AM

Just calculated mine at 24 - beeing a late bloomer isn't a bad thing.

<3 Thank you - all of you!

So far, so good today. I can see it now - talking with a rep from some amazing company at the expo today... <insert nastiest cramp ever right here>.

Honestly, I can't wait to have my period. Get this sucker OVER with!

Or watch, I'll start it while talking to Mr. or Ms. Amazing Recruiter.

Another red meat gal here...

I'm currently in the first month off the pill since I was 18. That's a lot of year on the pill, and I never missed a month. I feel all kinds of weird this month. Weird back pains and aches that I don't remember. I'm not looking forward to the actual bleeding thing. I remember that they used to be pretty awful.
