Its the result of elevated levels of estrogen. Women as a whole can smell better than men, because estrogen increases the sensitivity of the olfactory nerves. Many pregnant women become almost hyper sensitive. My personal theory on this "evolutionary" trait is that it allows women (especially pregnant women) to smell if anything is wrong with the food they are going to eat. In a time before ready medical access, ingesting something rotten or poisonous would surely result in the death of the child.
On a related note... the reason that many women find that sex is helpful in dealing with menstrual discomfort is both because of the release of hormones after orgasm, and if using a non-barrier method of sex... the absorbtion of testosterone into the body (which helps balance the surge of estrogen)

for the brave men who wandered in here. 
I'm not MENstrating at the mo but thought the ladies might get some use out of this link.

It has some very interesting advice.
But this cracked me up,"If possible, try to schedule stressful events for the week after your period."
Imagining saying to the principal if he calls you up at that time of the month to see him about little Johnny, "No, I am visiting Aunt Flo this week and if you piss me off I will have your guts for garters. Next week is fine though."
<Remember people if reading this pisses you off or angers you in anyway, IE you are thinking fucking woman and their excuses for just being a bitch? You may have not upgraded your lit sense of humour recently and I would encourage you to do so ASAP. Thank you for your attention>

What an awesome thread! I wish I'd found it sooner. It'll take me a while to get through all the pages, though.
I like the ideas presented here. Sex, chocolate, hibernating with the gals (week-long girl's night out! gotta love it!), massages, oh yeah I could get into that!
I wonder if I'm starting menopause. My period came 2 weeks early. I thought I was just bitchy because I was out of Zoloft, then oops!
*sigh*

Okay, I have a question and I need an answer. At what point is a flow too heavy and when should I worry and what should I do about it? Is completely soaking through 3 super tampons in less than 3 hours too much? This is abnormal for me. I've done nothing out of the ordinary to bring this on, but it's freaking me out just a little. I also passed a clot about an hour ago that was larger than half a boiled egg. (also unusual)
I have a zillion things I should be doing and it's partially the reason why I'm still sitting in this chair, trying to give my body time to finish this crap. Sometimes it just SUCKS being a girl.

It does sound like too much, but I hesitate to comment or give advice as I'm just a 20 year old college gal.
But with that kind of blood-loss you could start feeling side effects like feeling weak or dizzy. It's a pity it's a Sunday or else I'd suggest calling up a doc for an opinion over the phone, but it could indicate a lot of things so one can't be sure till it's checked.

Thanks for answering. I think my uterus is just spring house cleaning. I am older and though a few years shy of menopause still, this kind of thing is possibly a precursor to that. It's just a fucking nuissance when I have so much to do today...starting with driving 80 miles to pick up the Princess (and 80 miles back).
If it doesn't stop soon, I'll call BB's friend the nurse. Thanks again.

You're welcome. Yeah, if you're near menopausal age, that could be affecting it as well.
Sugardoll, I just recently made some Hersey's double chocolate chip brownies that are like 2 1/2 inches thick. I would love to give you some, and then Romial and I can rub your back with soothing heated lavender massage oil.
After that, we can watch a girly movie, and cry and laugh, and be all happy when the girl who hated the guy, who loved her, but was in denial, and so was she, finally get together and have passionate sex on the kitchen table. Or something like that.
Then we can make Romial and Byron put on tights and poet shirts and read us classic poems of romance, chivalry, love and death, wilst throwing long stem roses at us as we sit on velvet pillows in the candle light.
Man do I need sex.
