  • Well, hopefully some girl figures out what they're missing out on soon enough. :) And generally, you can always placate a PMSing woman with a gift of chocolate, foot or back massage, or hot bath. If you find that you can't make it through the venting, you can generally use the chocolate as an easy out. (As an added bonus,…

  • Yeah, I'm definitely thinking that light activity is the key here. Normally when I exercise, I do it for upwards of an hour (like hour long swims, or 3+ hours of ballroom dancing), so I'm thinking that if I do some lighter exercise that I won't dread it as much and won't push myself too hard. And, lol, those brownies sound…

  • From 7 to 4 days? Oh, wow!! I really hope that as I lose weight, I spend less time on my period. That would be *such* a relief! I might try not weighing myself, like you said. That sounds like it would spare me a ton of grief -- and, like you said, at the end of it, it's not like much changes. I'm typically about the same…

  • Thanks! I'll definitely give the walking a shot. That's probably going to be easier than the exercising I typically do. As for hormonal BC, I actually have been experiencing much better symptoms since getting off of it. I tried out Necon, Orthotricyclen, NuvaRing, and Depo Provera, and all of them have caused my symptoms…
