Okay...I know periods can be crampy and have terrible timing sometimes, but they are soooooooo good too! I love mine. I get really excited when it is about to happen, it makes em feel good, like I am a woman walking with the moon. I like the way it affects my body, makes my boobs feel heavier and my body more fertile. I just love it.
I think that is a great attitude to have about your period...I have to agree with you...I think they are so good...makes me feel great to know that I am a woman who can bear children if I so desire to... I don't dig the whole birth control thing where you don't get your periods, that really bothers me...it is very unnatural....
Yea, the cramps bother me too but I understand what you mean...And the "only have your period 4 times a year" really is unnatural and very strange...I don't think I could ever go on that...
I hate birth control, but I have extreme ovarian pain when I ovalant and when I'm on my period. My hips get so sore from it. Birth control may help this. I start Yaz next month.
I love my period too. I never get cramps or experience any pain, so I guess I am one of the few fortunate ones in that respect. What I love the most, is how sensitive my breasts and nipples become. They want so much attention right before I get my period. And then right after my period, my clit is also more sensitive and I feel damn sexy all over. I know what you are talking about Cate8, and it does feel good to have a period.
I never really thought of it that way... I guess I will begin to appreciate my period more. Although, I love how a week before I start, I go up an entire cup size--granted, they are sore usually and very tender, but I still like flaunting my huge boobs just before I start
There's just no way I can appreciate my period. I get irregular, heavy cramps that last days and interfere with my every day life. I just feel like shit the whole time im on it. The only way I can feel better is if I take birth control pills because it regulates the flow, but I wish I didn't have to take anything. I wish I felt more like you gals....
Chap...I get terrible periods, too. Generally every other month I'm in the ER for hemorrhaging. Being on bc only made it a little better...but I do enjoy the boobs I get-haha.
I actually don't hate very much, but there is honestly NOTHING I like about periods. I am generally sick the week before-I get nausea and stomach cramps, on top of period cramps. It's like having a stomach bug AND your period. The during-period cramps are hell, and they last 2-3 days. 2-3 days of crippling pain never really flies will with me.
I'm really fortunate in that aspects that mine are regular, cramping is VERY minimal, and I don't really bleed all that hard, and my moods don't change. It's a bit of inconvienence, but it's kinda reassuring to know that my body is working properly, ya know?
I'll tell you what I love most about my period .... that is, THAT I DONT HAVE IT ANYMORE! YAY! Lets hear it for havin' a hysterectomy!
i like that it lets me know i didnt do something stupid while drunk and get pregnant. haha (i'm kidding.. i dont sleep around when i'm drunk, not that kinda girl). my cysts in my ovaries get bigger than normal often (which hurts a lot), so i am supposed to be taking the pill to help it. but i dont have the money for it and i sure as hell dont have the time to deal with adapting to the change in hormones.
I'm on the pill too so I don't get anymore ovarian cysts...but it's ok, it's made me super regular which is nice...instread of just getting it once every few months and having it be horribley painful. I really love my period too. I like how passionate it makes me, I like feeling those extreme emotions. And I like how connected I feel with the cycles of the planet, and the reminder that I have the potential to create life with my body, and just remembering all the really wonderful things about being a woman...Like it hurts, and has some negatives, but it's life. At some fests I went to this summer they would have a red tent for woman on their periods to go have a safe and comfortable santuary to read, do yoga, meditate, makes crafts, paint, get massage, talk to other woman, chill...It was really helpful.
