Please? I think the guys can handle it.
No, I don't think we can.0 -
Yes. If people have THAT big of a problem hearing about it they've probably got maturity issues or sometihing. :P My partner was born male and SHE can deal with hearing about it just fine! :P0

We must keep people aware of it.
Until there is a cure.
there's totally a cure...i dont have one at all, and it's fantastic0 -
Don't the eggs need to be painted white first? With the cork, no egg painting gets accomplished.
Well yeah, the man 'corks' the baby inside as you've put it, preventing it from leaving the womb during a period, and allowing it to fully mature for nine months - at which point it's strong enough to break free.0 -

No no no, with the cork there, the man can't put it in. No eggs are painted and no bleeding.0 -

I usually have the effect on the ladies.0 -
I'm having endometrial abliation on the 22nd. My period, TOM, mensus, Aunt Flow, period, on the rag time is about to end.
Mwahhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaah haaaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! TAKE THAT!0 -
But... I like talking about Aunt Flo, Uncle Tom and the Curse. It amuses me...
Why call it our period? That's not the proper name anyway. If you want to get specific perhaps one should just say: I am menstruating.0 -

Or better yet, go turn on the Oxygen network and keep it to yourself.0 -
Isn't 'period' a euphemism in the first place?0

It's called menopause but that's a whole other topic....0 -
Ladies. Stop being disgusting, and have a doctor nip it in the bud. Why all the wasted TP, tampons and other sanitary articles. Go GREEN! Get Mirena!0

We call it.... "falling off the roof".... we makes up for some funny conversations sometimes!0

I think it's just short for menstrual period...0 -
Thankspsh, I'll call it what I want. Today it's TOM next month it'll be KEVIN

I was being serious. I'm totally gonna start naming my period after dudes every month - probably MFP members, starting with the males who have the most posts. They won't even see it coming... They'll be like "oooh! LOOK! Sunkisses posted a thread about me! Yay!" *happy-click*

lol. . Thanks I am not looking forward to menopause. ..0 -
I didn't want to do this, but you leave me no choice.

I promise you that if I ever had to post about my period, I'd call it my period. But please, please, let's all just stop posting about our periods!
AMEN! Seriously. How many more times do we have to see a thread about weight fluctuating when we have our periods before people learn how to use the search function? 0 -
Can you plug it up like a cork does a bottle of wine?
Uh, no. Then how would the eggs escape? They'd just grow in to a baby inside you if you did that.
I want to play with your hair.
Middlesbrough is near Atlanta, right?0 -

Please!!!!!!
I find the term TOM insulting to us guys called Tom. :laugh:
Bwahahahahahaha! I was wondering how everyone knew Tom! And more importantly ... I wanted to know what the hell he did to everyone to make them so damn mad! :laugh:0 -

Chemotherapy..... another cure.0

Nah, I think the term is 'menses' or 'menstrual cycle' something like that... 'period' and 'time' are all just euphemisms.Isn't 'period' a euphemism in the first place?

I prefer to call it "the week when I bleed profusely from my vagina"... acronym Twwibpfmv, of course.0

Who would want to search for that? Except the cast from True Blood0 -

I was in medical school (briefly), and it was common parlance among doctors and students. The menstrual period. The menstrual phase. Menses. All were used in the professional setting.
At any rate, "menses" is the most common term in medical literature. But who talks like that? And who ever references their "luteal phase" or their "follicular phase"? That's right...no one.0 -
TP? Who uses TP? Yuck!Ladies. Stop being disgusting, and have a doctor nip it in the bud. Why all the wasted TP, tampons and other sanitary articles. Go GREEN! Get Mirena!0 -
Just gonna be honest, here. When I first joined MFP, like so many, I did not know what TOM was. Once it dawned on me, I became annoyed by those who felt compelled to share with me each month the blow by blow of their cycle...pms/headaches/cramps/backaches, on and on, and of course along with that the need to eat everything in their way and lay down and cry for a week...PLEASE.
get off your *kitten*, and go to the gym. Take a hot shower, you will feel better, promise. Just be quiet. Suck it up, cupcake. DEAL with it.
