    my time of the month currently lasts 14-17 days. I think I get about 6 good days a month. :mad:

    SO WITH YOU!

    Yeah, but we get that lovely weight drop when our period is over and the water goes away!

    Well, sometimes.

    Actually I have the whole month good..... well apart from a whole 3 days for my TOM. But even then I get one day bad & no cramps, no bloating, no moods.

    When I had uterine fibroids, I literally could have heavy period/practically hemhorraging for 22 days. It was horrible. Then I had minor surgery, went back on birth control pills, and have normal periods 3-4 days with maybe 1 day of moderate cramps. The pain/cramping before had me on the freakin' floor in pain for hours on end...now it's next to nothing. I barely have PMS and don't notice any weight gain.

    I suffered through monthly periods like that for 10 years because I didn't know how abnormal it was, and how easily treated. If you're having significant issues with either PMS/PMDD/or just your period, please see your doctor. Don't waste as much time as I did in serious pain.

    Why hell would you make delicious brownies out of sh*tty black beans?

    My only bad days are when I have to RIP panties/jeans because of the Red Sea down the back crack.

    I'm going to go hug my Yaz. There are still bad days, but there are fewer bad days.

    I'm doin' the exact same thing. :)

    ah, but there is the wonderful thing called menopause (or in my case hysterectomy). I feel wonderful all month long and love it. :)

    ^^^THIS!! I was in my 40's when I had a hysterectomy. Best thing in my whole life!!
