Good god almighty this whole period thing just SUCKS!

I just had the fucking thing 10 days ago!
I'm NOT due!
It's NOT my turn again!

Goddammit.

Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.

So.
I'm 46.
I've had two verifiable hot flashes, one at the end of 2001 and one a few months later in 2002.
I've had periods that are getting a teensy bit irregular for a couple years--kinda alarming for someone who could set a watch on her periods all her life.

But now--NOW!--i've begun to get extra periods. This isn't the first time, either--just the first time they've been so close together.

This just sucks!

At the end of things, aren't our periods supposed to kinda sorta just gently wind down...occurring further and further apart in time...coming round less and less frequently...until one day they just...s t o p?

Instead, i'm getting them all the fucking time!
That's just *not* right.
It sucks.
I do *not* like it.

For heavystick, by request.

 

[SweetCherry]

Each time I see this thread, I keep thinking "I'll always be glad Chey spread word around about the Keeper and I'm so glad cuz I love mine."

Thanks, Chey. You've made an unbearable time of the month much more tolerable and environmentally friendly.

 

[Cheyenne]

You're welcome.



If I only got commissions on the stuff I hawk here...

 

[SweetCherry]

You'd be a very rich woman if you did.

I have two daughters and I never wanted them to feel shamed about this part of their sexuality. Our society is so lacking in coming of age ceremonies. Menarche is a big deal in a womans life. Don't think I am crazy but we had a "Red" party for the girls when they started their periods. We invited their friends and female relatives. All of us wore red and gave the girls something red to remember this time. Sentimental as they are, they both have their gifts and pictures tucked away in a little box. It was fun and meaningful. Their friends, now in their twenties, will still occasionally mention the party and what it meant to them.

that is so cool. i knew nothing when i first began my period. i had no idea what was happening and i was afraid something was wrong with me and didn't tell anyone. on top of that when i finally really had flow i was on holiday at a family friend's house...i was so embarassed that no one had told me this would happen.

 

[lasoleta]

He's scared. This thread does that to people.

 

[SweetCherry]

Heh. Why would this thread scare people? It's such an informative place.

 

[bknight2602]

I have my period.

It arrived yesterday.

I am feeling very... black-widowish.

I think we should sit around and talk about how we want to be fucked very hard, then kill the men afterwards and bury them in a shallow grave

My mom made a big deal of it and I HATED it with a passion. I hated her for mentioning it to anyone. I wasn't even going to tell her. Her and my older sister both would use that time of the month to bitch about cramps and be as bitchy as they wanted to be. Like their free pass. I hated them for it and swore I would never be like that. Sure I get bad cramps but I just stay to myself and deal with the pain. I don't go around bitching because I can, and I certainly don't go around telling everyone it is that time of the month. I never understood that.

*getting off of soapbox*

 

[Starfish]

I started today. I am bitchy, achy, and I want my mommy.

First the cramps, then the blood but always the bitchiness. My mommy was no help.

Question

I haven't read completely through this thread, but would someone be interested in sending me a copy of The Red Tent? I'd be very interested in reading & passing it along.

Cheyenne -- I'm going to break down, spend the $40.00 (or so) and buy a Keeper. Heck, it just may work


Toodles and hugs!
