Funny stories about your period

Funny story 5 months down the track finally had another period.. Spent the last two nights getting up every two hours pissing blood from my maxi tampon being full i've got a full blood trail now from my bed to the bathroom. I'm so tired of bleeding and agony and tampons being covered in lining like some sort of fucked up candied apple.

I am tired but hopefully it'll ease up soon.

Nah i've had heaps of blood tests done in that time to test for other things, my period is fun like that likes to disappear for months at a time. I'm hoping it'll settle down in the next day or so its just been horrible.

Relatable. My period didn't stop for months at a time, then it disappeared for months. I bet you've got PCOS or something, that's what my endo told me.

Go get that checked out, your period acting like that isn't going to lead to anything good.
 
Pretty sure I gave birth to one of my ovaries at some point. Used to have awful periods with black walnut sized clots. Got a pelvic exam and they couldn't find the one ovary. That girl is MIA. They didn't make a big deal out of it so I guess they just do that sonetimes?

I don't think an ovary can be bled out like that unless it was imploding in pieces (even so, it'd have to travel through the fallopian tube, so if it's bigger than an egg follicle, would've hurt). It's possible you may have just been born with one ovary, not two.

Yeah i have its just the above stuff causing it, for awhile it was regularly every month and i felt normal and fine minimal to no pain light spotting. Then it just went back to being absolutely crazy, i've got a GP appointment tomorrow for something else but i'm going to talk to her about the mammoth bleed session this week.

I also stupidly wore a colourful skirt today drove out somewhere to drop something off got out of the car on my car seat a big pool of blood, leaked through my tampon in an hour just driving. Had to spend 15 minutes in the disabled toilet washing and drying my skirt and undies in a sink and hand dryer to get the stains out because they were both soaked through it was running down my leg and ruined my favourite pair of shoes. That was not fun..

My husband was guarding the toilet at least so no one bothered me.

I am the world's biggest fan of period underwear- especially in peri-menopause when my period is even more fucked up and random than usual. If I die before I stop getting my period I am going to be so PISSED off.

After many years, I finally made the investment and bought some of those Harebrained ones. I ordered them online, and when they arrived, they were double lined from the front to the gusset, and a single layer at back. The double lining was just another piece of elasticised cotton too. They're cute, and having themed knickers is nice, I guess, but they're really not what I expected them to be. The double lining isn't at all effective, not to mention that when I leak it's usually out the back. For the cost and postage of an individual pair of Harebrained knickers, I could have bought three normal pairs. It wouldn't be such a problem if my budget was more forgiving, but ultimately they weren't what was advertised.

I do like having Gambit and Jareth on my arse, though.

I keep hearing about cups, how would you pull it out without blood gushing everywhere??
Click to expand...
You don't, really. But that's why you pull it out on the toilet or in the shower so any spillage immediately goes into the toilet or down the drain and then you just dump the rest out there. Are gorls taking tampons out anywhere but on the toilet???

You can leave it in all day and you don't have to change it if you shit/piss like people do with tampons, but if you bleed an unholy amount then you can empty it as much as you need. And it's a specific ounce capacity so you can tell your doctor exactly how much red tide you're producing, because if you're regularly overflowing a cup, that's not good.

I don't recommend emptying the cup in a multi-person public restroom since you're supposed to rinse it off between removal and insertion, and that can get awkward and inconvenient in a public restroom.

The most off-putting part is getting used to the insertion/removal process in the beginning. If you're weird about getting up in your own business then it might not work for you. You're also going to need either a designated cup-boiling pot for between cycles, or they sell specific little countertop cup sterilizing machines now.

Boisterous pooping can disturb the cup, just the mechanics of having two semisoft things occupying two adjacent tunnels, but it's not a big deal.

Some menstrual cups ship with their own microwave boiling mug--or you can just grab one and designate it.

@glass_houses , I have several brands.

period.co will hold pretty much anything you can throw at them. they basic looking though.

aerie are good for light flow to medium flow. they're cuter than period.co

knix has lacey ones! and they're cute but I wear them for end of flow or spotting

wuka are incredibly well made and hold almost as much as period.co AND they have gorgeous lacey retro ones

Those are definitely meant for pooners.

I thought pooners couldn't bear the sight of menstrual blood at all--the only thing worse is a menstrual product that happens to be in a pink package, or uses any feminine words on the label.
