Some days, I hate being female.

I'm descending into revolting, decidedly female issues here, so if you're very squeamish or easily grossed out, I don't suggest clicking the linky.

WTF, period?

Honestly. A few months of simple, easy periods. Then this month. I have cramps, both in the abdomen and in my lower back. And every time I sneeze (which apparently is happening a lot today), I squish. I H.A.T.E. that.

Most females probably know what I mean by "squish," but for those of you who don't, allow me to be disgusting for a minute here and explain: YOU KNOW, WHEN A FEW NASTY GOBS OF TISSUE COME OUT, TOO. THE GOOEY, ICKY WADS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE DISEASED.

I've been doing that a lot over the last five days. I hate having to waddle to the bathroom to clean up....especially at work.

And I don't have any tampons here to help curb the squish factor - rarely use them anyway, but still...

I know other women have far deeper problems than I do when it comes to reproductive organs, but Christ in a sidecar, does anybody want mine? *sulks*

Oh I feel your pain! I find that, just to share the TMI-ness, I am extremely heavy the first day, like leak through my clothes heavy, with headaches, severe cramps,dizziness and nausea and then the next few days I'm very light and perfectly fine. That just one day drives me bonkers! Waddling to the bathroom to clean up, I do that a lot on the first day! Doncha just love being a girl!

Urgh - I think if I didn't go to the bathroom straight away, it would probably leak through clothes. I usually have a day or two of heavy, then just a normal-to-light flow the rest of the time. But this period has been a disgusting solid week of heavy. I HATE IT. [/whine]

Glad it's not just me, though! *HUG*
