>Periods were always regular, no pain, no mood changes, nothing out of the ordinary aside from bleeding.
>Mom didn't tell me anything about what to do during my period, spent years using folded toilet paper to absorb it.
>Junior year, horrible pains, think alien chest burster in your lower abdomen, end up in hospital for 4 hours, discover a cyst ruptured.
>Every few months a cyst ruptures, I try to tough it out but usually end up curled up on the couch for a few hours.
>Later in life, learn about pads and tampons, still resent mom a bit for never talking to me about this stuff. Now use tampons.
>Lately I've been horny on my period and have some sensitivity. No mood swings so it's all cool.
>BF doesn't care, fucking is fucking, get overzealous one day, forget to take out tampon, bruises the head of his penis, never again.
>Learn in psych classes that PMS is largely a psychological trap many women are conned into and few women actually have PMS. >Suddenly a little happier that mom never talked to me about periods, leaving me without the placebo PMS.
Hormones, poor diet, and health all effect your cycle. If you are malnourished, severely under/over weight or you over exercise you have have a higher chance of an irregular period or no period at all. Getting severely ill can also effect it. Overweight girls tend to get their period earlier while under weight girls tend to get them later.
More fun facts: Sex can help ease cramps by stimulating muscles around the uterus. Orgasm can ease overall menstrual pains by releasing relaxing hormones. Cramps are a mini version contractions you would feel during birth. Cold water helps remove blood while warm water only set the stain more. Stress can make your period come early or delay it.
IMO, girls like to be overly helpful when another is on their cycle because of Carrie.
