    For real. Exercise helps with cramps anyways.

    Agreed.

    Ok, I'll be sure to remember this the next time mine comes around. I'm sure the fellow gym goers will LOVE it when I vomit on the machines.

    I REALLY hate when women use their period as an excuse to not do something. "I can't go biking today. I started." Really? I get some of the worst cramps, but it never stops me from doing something. SUCK IT UP and quit being such a baby. Seriously.

    Rant over.

    I have a "hostile" uterus. I really can't even leave the house let alone stand when I have it. Everyone is different. To those girls who can't workout I advise going to the doctor. It may be endometriosis, fibroids (like me) or something else.
    No one should judge!

    I don't know about anyone else, but during the first few days of my period, I end up with diarrhea and stomach cramps along with the uterine cramps- not to mention I will bleed heavy enough to soak a tampon and a pad in less than an hour. So, yeah. Big ol' middle finger to anyone who tells me it's just an excuse.

    Your TOM, I guess. See? Hormones can also make people more *****y than usual so how about letting everyone do what they want and mind your own TOM?

    It helps "de-crabbify" me...and I just take a few Ibuprofen or Advil 15 mins before I go to the gym....Personally, I think all women should try to exercise through their period even if it seems too painful. But that's just me, all women are different.

    BTW, I didn't think the poster was being mean or rude!!!

    Basically, every woman's cycle is different. It's not up to any one person to judge what they do or don't feel up to during that TOM.

    I agree it helps me to exercise during that time if not I will feel worst. I have endometriosis, fibroids, PCS if I can anyone can.

    That would be like me saying that *I* have given birth three times with no epidural (which, I have) - so, if I can do it anyone can.

    Seriously?

    I dont just get cramps. I get shooting pains up my back that make me double over. I struggle to walk. Sometimes they get so bad I vomit, get diarrhea or both. Sorry but I aint working out when Im in that condition.

    the only excercise i do while on ToM is situps...its not because i am lazy or making an excuses or because i am afraid my uterus will fall out or some BS like that :P :P :P
    ...but when you are all...messy down there...it grosses me out to workout!!! :/:/ (we have no tampon access...plain old sanitary napkins only..so it can get really really messed up after working out)....that's the only reason though...but doing vigorous situps help ease my cramps...!

    Unfortunately it 's not BS for me. I also vomit and I really don't think you would want me at the gym.
