Lets complain! YAY!!! My period is in full force and I have the undying desire to complain about it. Since you girls are the only ones who will listen, here you go. MY CRAMPS FEEL LIKE my entire pelvis is in a vice grip and someone is tightening and loosening the handle. I get them all over the front and in my freaking back! Why the back?  And the worst part is that the first day of my period I feel like I have to poop all the time but there's no poop! Why does it do that!?!?!? UGHHH!!!  |

Mine's on it's way and I feel like I might vomit any minute. This is the first period I'll have off BCP's so I'm nervous  AND the best part is, I go for pelvic floor physical therapy this afternoon, so I'll be in pain from that. Yay. Bah. |

Do they have an electric stimulation (high-strength tens) that they can hook you up to afterward? For me, that was my favorite part of PT!

Yes, it is exactly what it sounds like... Up close and personal! Good luck with your first appointment, and request the electric stim if you can get it - it's freaking awesome!!!

LOL are you guys sure this is for "therapy?" As excited as you sound over the electric stim, I'm wondering if I should make an appointment for this "therapy" too. Is this the female equivalent to a happy ending? hehehehee......

I have one about, erm, every fecking week.
I'm over it.
I have GnRH shots, a mirena that's been in 3 months... have even stopped my HRT, but I still have periods. Still ovulate even! My gynae says 'oh, it happens' but if I have periods, doesn't it negate the point of having GnRH in the first place. So I'll be giving my gynae the middle fingered salute. Cos he's a man so truly he has no idea.
Oh and Jenaya, I poop like a mofo on my periods it's like 'How low can you sink? Well now you need to poop in work and keep baby wipes on hand cos you hate pooing in public loos!'

Wow...I don't know if this is impending doom from my period coming or from the PT last night, but I'm having FULL body cramps. It's really cool. My whole body feels like it's in spasm.
This is a first.

You know here's the deal - we all hate our period, but when it wont freaking come and you know you arent pregant its just so much worse. After 30 days of progesterone - well let me back up -- June 29th I started my period - it lasted for 12 freaking days - joy joy, my doc put me on progesterone to regulate me - BIG FAT JOKE - because 14 days later I started a small 3 day period, finally got off the awful progesterone (i even hate myself on that drug) and it has now been 38 days since my last period - and my belly looks like I am 7 months pregnant and all three prenancy tests are negative... my doc is on vacation and his nurse is a freaking idiot -- so with all that said - can i please just start bleeding already -- oh and i almost forgot - i only have a few more painkillers left and the prescription has to be written and it cant be refilled over the phone -- are you kidding me? hello heating pad and lots and lots of naproxen! |

Ooohh, period rant. I have been struggling with rage all week..... it leaks out at unforeseen moments, and I have to try to control my face. PMS is so exhausting. It's also been a lovely week of cramps, fever, nausea, and frantic deadlines at work; so that really didn't help.
Guys, any ideas... I have almost a year to figure this out: must get rid of period. Help? This is the problem.... Have just signed up (me and hubby) to go trekking in Ladakh for 3 weeks next summer. Back of beyond, will be exploring some absolutely amazing Himalayan wilderness, while living in tents and making curry-inna-hurry on camp stove (with occasional mountain climbing).
Here's the catch... if I get my period, I will be flattened. Never mind the other niggling issue of predators scenting blood (snow leopards, anyone??).
I'm not sure I can time this; I'm off the pill, and can't convince my damnably conservative family doc to just give me an OCP script (yeah yeah, I'm over 40; but surely there are pills out there that won't kill me at this age???!). Wouldn't it be perfect to simply skip one period? Just to not hurt like the bejeezus for one month? It's not like this is some kind of required monthly penance, is it? ...sigh...

There is a pharmacy I've ordred from in the past. My friend gets her BCP's from there. Let me know if you want the link. It's a U.K. pharmacy.

Doesn't it freakin' suck that we have to schedule our lives around our periods. I actually used to be able to do that before I became so stinkin' random. I think it was the randomness that made me finally get in with a doctor, as much as the pain. too bad we couldn't fix that... oh wait I was trying and lost my surgery date. Now I remember. Freakin' insurance!!

And the worst part is that the first day of my period I feel like I have to poop all the time but there's no poop! Why does it do that!?!?!? UGHHH!!!
