Funny stories about your period

[glass_houses]

They were libra's from memory i'll see if they still make them with the trivia, if they do i'll take a picture.

They do, or at least they do in Australia.

I've thought about it some more and I would also enjoy a menstrual pad where every pad comes with a cute sticker once you open the wrapper. Girls are hitting menarche sooner so I feel this would be a license to print money, and then you could act surprised and expand the stickers from the "teen" line to the rest of your models of pad.

Temporary tattoos would also be fun, although those would definitely skew younger. You could go with cute designs, or with classic-style heart dripping blood, knife dripping blood, or easily get a celebrity/design tie-in. Just one sheet of tattoos per box, like a Cracker Jack prize before they got really shitty. There's something fitting about dabbing on an AIN'T GOT TIME TO BLEED temporary tattoo and by the time it's wearing off, your period's over.

I was using a jar of strawberry jam to emulate period blood and I cried when the jam got into my neovagina. It burned like fire and it was this moment I realised I will never be a real woman.

 

[Aunt Carol]

more like blackberry preserves, really

I hate it when I'm having heavy "mixed" periods; when it's all liquid I can take cup breaks with a pad, when it's nearly all clot I can use a cup and a liner pretty safely. Doing dumb yard stuff on this lovely day and having to take hygiene breaks because of my inconvenient output.

My husband hesitantly asked me one time if women on a sports team had their periods synch up. As a former softball girlie, I said yes.

He was horrified; it was kind of cute.

Once upon a time I sneezed really hard during class and felt my tampon shoot out like a projectile. Had to waddle to the toilet while praying to god that the tampon would stay put and my pad would hold all the blood before it started leaking through my pants.

My friends asked me if I shat my pants but we had a good laugh when I explained what happened. Menorrhagia sucks but my girlfriends in high school were wonderful

Does the science still deny this happens? Cause I keep seeing "some animals have synching periods, but not humans, nopity" and I literally saw dozens of cases of it happening to people.

Maybe uteri get shy when under scientific scrutiny.

Men as a whole don't like thinking about bloody vaginas and shedding uteri. They'll never get used to it and will always be in the denial stage.

Ugh. I was on the depo shot for about four years before and that was lovely. I gained a lot of weight, I assumed it was partly due to that but idk for certain. I’m like 24 pounds down from my heaviest now so I don’t really want to rock the boat.

Dear friend of mine was on depo for the same amount of time. She kept getting brain fog and memory loss, as well as brittle bones. Turns out that's what it does if you're on it for more than two years. She's younger than I am and yet is getting the bones of a 60 year old on it.

Unironically an OBGYN practice should have leaderboards. It'd make people feel better whether it turned out they didn't even hit #20 uterine cast, or they were the new #3.

i got my period early at a hotel in another country where i’m not good at the language they speak. i was far from any pharmacie, so going there was not an option. i asked one of the housekeepers if she knew where i could get some pads, but the word for pad and pillow are similar i guess so she kept offering me a pillow. so i started to change tactics and i said “please… i’m bleeding… one a month blood… no pad… i need pad...” and finally i see she understands and she told me she would grab some for me. she brought a box of pads to my room and i tipped her because i honestly would have been lost without her.

And now i know the technical term for my agony every month !

My first period was in a summer camp when I was 12. I had to spend all my candy money to pads. Later my cool summer shorts looked like straight from a Saw movie when I didn't know when to change the damn pad.

Ah, memories...

God, I'm so thankful I got my first period shortly after school started back up. That summer was my first camping trip ever (was for a church youth group) and we were up in the mountains. While it's not unlikely some of the girls would've had pads on them, I don't think I would've taken to it very well.

lol i wish i could lie to more men abt how women work, their reactions are always funny as fuck. too bad i dont like talking to men

when i first got my period (around 13) i wasnt particularly happy but i still felt the need to get dressed up in my best outfit bc i felt like a new person. like when you drink booze or have sex for the first time except not even slightly fun

Spoiler: terrible fucking heinous story

i went on a 3 day camping trip with a bunch of guys when i was younger and was on my period. this was one of those camping trips where youve got nothing but a tent and the trees to do ur stuff in so of course im not in the best place. i felt like bear grylls. bear gyrlls. wouldnt recommend being on ur period in the woods thats all im gonna say

New job new period.

Pants off in the toilet before i sit down clot falls on the floor ... blood everywhere. It had to go and get hand towels to clean it up

Small office at least so no one came in whilst i was trying to clean up the mess...

I've never had the "naked in school" dreams, but I'm super sorry for "Lathe of Heaven"-ing you into experiencing one of my recurring nightmares. Other than:

Small office at least so no one came in whilst i was trying to clean up the mess...

At that point I think you'd just have to escape through the bathroom window and never come back to work. Or kill them; there's no other way to recover.

Your OB sounds like a dumbass. Also I’ve had the same thing, including SEVERE pain that was highly unusual and I was told it was fibroids (which is likely since my mom had them.) unless the shit that popped out was shaped like the uterine walls and red I would risk a second opinion, esp if it happens again.
