But I LIKE complaining about feeling sick for a week out of every month!
If I throw up due to nausea y'all know I'm gonna be whining about it.
And this. Day = totally ruined when this happens.0 -
I truly believe that PMS isn't real, kind of like the female orgasm, it's just an excuse for women to act crazy a few days a month and over eat food. That's why women actually complain about weight gain during that time, it has nothing to do with the "hormones". It's because you stuff your face with chocolate!!!!
Oh ya, I'd like to see you be a women for a day and see what its like. I bet most men couldnt handle the pain. We all know when you guys are sick, your all the same, Big babies that need us women to look after you's
And I would like to see coherent, well-thought out sentences. But alas, this day shall never come.0 -
I was eating popcorn........

Sooo because you haven't be able to give a women the big "O" its not real? right, right. :huh: :ohwell:
You all fake it anyway, we can't trust you if you tell us it's real!0 -
So, any questions?
edited to say: no, I am not currently PMSing. Just a user whose been around for awhile and is BAFFLED by the amount of TOM threads that pop up. Common sense apparently is in short supply around these parts...
So your solution to too many PMS threads, was to create another one?
Got it.
Well buddy- I am a sarcastic snarky b*tch. So what can I say, decided that at least if it was going to be a post about vagina, it would be dripping in sarcasm. Sorry that offends you, oh wait, I actually don't give a *kitten*. :drinker:0 -
I lost my period and I heard I could find one in here?0

I can answer to why it's such a mystery, at least to me.
Every month after the horrible horrific horror of having something my body needs leave my body for days at a time and threaten to ruin some of my favorite clothes, once it's over I block the event. I seriously try to forget the whole thing ever happened. Like trauma.
Then I keep telling myself this is the month, I will be pregnant, or menoupause will start early, or my BF will be at a percent to cease this horrific madness. And then I forget all about it. And then 28 or so days go by and by the first week it was like nothing ever happened so I seriously lose track. EVERY. SINGLE. MONTH.
Then lo and behold just when I'm like man I remember feeling gloomy awhile back but can't remember why?... but man I'm kicking *kitten* with workouts and my eating has been ON POINT for over a week now and damn if my clothes aren't fitting awesome and why did I think this was so hard...
...and just when my confidence is at level eleventy and I think I'm doing so awesome and I have it all figured out--BAM! SURPRISE...
note: i never in a million years thought I'd find a gif of jack nicholson's famous "I'm back" pose with what appears to be a crude computer MSPaint drawing of a used maxi pad over his eyes, it's the reason I chose it over an animated gif of which I'm usually so fond.0 -

Please in the future refrain from using the words "vagina" and "dripping" in such close proximity.
I have a very active imagination and creative mind.0 -

I have a USB cable, you can sync up with me.0 -
FYI Ladies, you don't have to have a period unless you want to:)
If you're taking birth control, you aren't having a period anyway because you don't ovulate - it's actually just withdrawal bleeding.
Anyway, if you are on a mono-phasic pill you can just skip your placebos and take BC every day, all year long. No periods. No hormones plummeting. Talk to your doctor about it, if you're interested. It's very common:)
Never been happier! No more cramps for meeeeeeeeee:) No more feeling ****ty 85 days a year...0 -

I think all the questions arise out of women who have never tried to lose weight before. They've never paid attention to how their weight is affected by their periods, and they don't know if their hunger is from too few calories or PMS cravings, that sort of thing.
YES. I had never noticed how badly I PMSed or bloated until I started losing weight. It was a really tough week for me (the week before my period). To top it off, my period was very late so I had no idea if it was all related to the period. Now I know better and realize what my body is trying to tell me.0 -
No more feeling ****ty 85 days a year...
I stopped feeling that way every month when I got rid of the tosser I was living with.0 -
I actually posted my concerns that many MFP ladies had synchronized their periods. I invented this very notion, thank you, you're welcome.0

When we see a bazillion threads of women confused about there monthly menses. I have no idea why after dealing with this most of our adult lives, that its suck a freaking mystery all of a sudden. But in light of it and cutting down on the amount of questions people seem to have, here is a consolidated list of all the things you can expect, seeing as you've been going through this since you hit puberty, but just in case you've forgotten:
1. Yes, you will retain water, which means the scale will move. If it bothers you that much- throw the scale out the window
2. Yes, you will get cravings. Eat whatever it is you want/ or don't, you have a calorie guideline here, use it as a tool or chalk it up as a bad day and move on.
3. Yes, you can still exercise- studies have actually shown it helps with cramps. HOWEVER, if you can't- than 1 or 5 days will not undo the work you've done
4. Stop whining about it. Seriously. We all get them (unless for some medical reason you don't), we all know it sucks, and we all know that for one week out of a month we are going to be crazy a** b*tches who crave junk food. Deal with it, and move on. No one needs a pity party or a freakin parade about it.
So, any questions?

LOL love it!!!! When I first joined MFP and saw all the threads on women freaking out because they were bloated and gained a few pounds during that time I was mystified too!!!!! How did you not know this?!?! Drove me nuts. I've now moved on to - prepare yourselves!!!!! - MENOPAUSE. OMG!!!!! Yes you will gain weight, yes it's harder to lose, yes your hormones will be all over the map, cravings fatigue, you name it!
Hang in the girls!!!! We can do this!0 -
My period is projected to start on June 21st. Anyone else? I'd definitely like my own period buddy to ***** and moan!0

I'm with whoever said they will whine all they want. Everyone has a different experience (and now that I am approaching 50, it's completely new for me as well) and the whole point of these support boards is to help each other through it. I don't think it's right to offer support and then tell people not to whine. This is the one place we should be able to focus on our obstacles without feeling judged, and to hopefully get POSITIVE feedback while the rest of the world beats the crap out of us. Just my 2 cents.0
