So I was in class yesterday and I was digging in my bag for a pencil, but I knocked some things out.. and along with all the pencils and highlighters that fell out, a pad FLEW. It didnt slide. It FLEW and hit a really popular guys shoe. His twin and a few other guys just kinda stared at me. I made eye contact accidentally, was like.. “oops, my bad”, picked it up, and went on with what I was doing and shrugged it off. Today they wouldn’t stop looking at me and giggling like elementary school girls.. Yes, I am a tiny bit embarrassed but Im really not that embarrassed about it. The sight of a pad made them giggle for 45 minutes straight A DAY after seeing it. Actually shut up. Im honestly just pissed I had to listen to them talk about it.

It’s been maybe 5 or 6 months, that anytime I get my period 80% of the cramps are gas cramps, and very, very intense gas cramps.. can’t move, can’t laugh and can’t eat sometimes even. And when trying to pee or poop.. I think I saw more stars than when I actually stargaze.

I was wondering if any of you might know why, or if someone been through this too. I do have IBS and PCOS

Hello everyone,

I will be moving into traditional style residence very soon. That means communal washrooms and shared laundry rooms.

for context, i have a super heavy period. frequently i will, at night, bleed through my sheets or underwear on my heaviest day.

I was just wondering how u guys dealt with the laundry of that.

At home, i would just rinse my stained clothes/sheets off with cold water in my sink, then throw it into the wash.

However, i recognize that it may not be appropriate for me to be washing bloody underwear in a sink, where other people are brushing teeth, and etc. I think my residence also is co-ed; which makes the entire thing even more awkward

Can any girls LMK how you dealt with this? Thank you so much

My friend scared me that you can get your period and still be pregnant but I googled it and I have a normal shedding but I’m still worried this is a possibility is there any girls that experience this too?? I wish my friend never mentioned that because google spiraling isn’t helping

I was on my way home, and was waiting to board my flight when I had this godawful pain in my lower back.

Then everything started going black at the edge of my vision and I fell over.

Woke up to a ton of concerned people.

Promptly threw up.

Was sweating like a pig.

Paramedics came, and took all sorts of tests, and I just knew I needed to go to the bathroom right that second.

Got on the toilet, and my entire uterine lining fell down with a mighty splash.

It had happened to me.

The legendary.

The infamous.

The decidual cast

I was still bleeding somewhat uncontrollably, so I missed my plane and was taken to hospital instead.

They gave me stuff to stop the bleeding, but I wasn't allowed to fly for 2 days because they were worried the pressure changes could restart the bleeding.

I had flashbacks to the uterus falling out when you go with the train discussions.

It’s day 2.

I bled on two pairs of underwear, my WHITE SHEETS AND MATTRESS and just now through two FUCKING pads and underwear AGAIN. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BRO WHYYYYYYY THIS IS SO FURIATING. MY STUPID MATTRESS IS COVERED AND MY MOOD IS SHITTY AND I’M BLOATED AS FUCK FUCK THIS SHIT

I’M ON MY PERIOD RIGHT NOW AND I FUCKING HATE IT EVERY TIME I GET IT, EVERY SINGLE MONTH I GET MY FUCKING PERIOD, I JUST WANNA DESTROY AND PUNCH EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE IN MY WAY OR EVEN COMES FUCKING NEAR ME. WHO EVEN CREATED AND INVENTED PERIODS ANYWAY?! BECAUSE I HATE AND DESPISE THAT PERSON WHO DID, LIKE I LOATHE THEM TO DEATH. PERIODS SHOULD’NT EVEN EXIST BUT THEY DO FOR STUPID REASONS AND I FUCKING HATE THAT!! I COULD NEVER EVER GET USED TO HAVING PERIODS BECAUSE WHO IN THEIR RIGHT FUCKING MINDS WOULD GET USED TO THAT TORTURE?!?!

I DON’T WANT IT ANYMORE, LIKE I NEVER WANTED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE BUT YET IT STILL CAME TO ME, LIKE IT’S NOT EVEN FUCKING FUNNY..

Well, I am now 11 days late on my period, I keep getting negative pregnancy tests at home. I decided to go to the doctor because this is REALLY unusual for me. I start every month right on the 21st, she did a urine test and it came back negative said me stressing about this period coming is the reason I havent had it yet? I don’t know I understand stress can affect it but I’ve been under more stress and still had my period, I emphasized this is really unusual she still says ”you’re just stressed.. it’s an anxiety“, told me to come back next week if I still haven’t had one. I have been having some symptoms, morning vomiting/nausea. I’ve been pregnant 3 times so I understand (kinda) the feeling and I just have this feeling something is not right. The last time I had unprotected sex was aug. 18th, 3 days before my period that was “supposed” to come. Anyways what do I do? is there anyone that have been through this before ?? ANY advice or suggestions will help tremendously. TIA

Hi I requested a prescription for this to delay my period. My period is due on Sept 10. But I already have pretty bad cramps and symptoms. Earliest my period is ever is 4-5 days. So my question is I’m worried I’ll miss the opportunity to take this. I do not want it on September 9th as I’m having a cosmetic procedure done and the last thing I need to deal with is heavy bleeding.
I have 10 5mg pills told to take one a day at the same time. Can I take these starting today and my period will come on the 10th? Also how common is breakthrough bleeding. I cannot have that

hello! so im 21. ive noticed the past few months that the amount of blood that comes out keeps decreasing (i judged it because my pads would get more blood and now its less) even though it kinda drags out to 6-7 days the amount is small compared to the normal amount i used to bleed

any ideas?

thank you!!!

I’m actually going to go insane. I was lying in bed with my heating pad and dozed off. I do this sometimes, but I keep it on low and on a timer in case I fall asleep. It’s sometimes the only way I can fall asleep when pain meds aren’t working. I was maybe asleep for 5-10 minutes before my husband came in to wake me up. For reference, I was sleeping on my side with my heating pad around my back tucked a little under my side to keep it still, it’s one of the longer ones. I woke up and under my butt was completely soaked and some
down the outer side of my leg. It was pee. I honestly thought it was my dog at first because he was laying around my leg, but he was completely dry🧍🏻‍♀️I genuinely think the heating pad made me pee myself in my sleep. I did drink almost a whole can of sprite (fighting period nausea demons) so like that could explain it?? In my entire 25 years of life, and obsessive use of heat pads on my period, this has NEVER happened to me. What’s even weirder is that my pad had no pee in it and neither did my underwear other than on the side of my butt. My underwear is pretty tight fitting so I’m baffled on how between my legs and my pad were completely dry. I’m mortified but still trying to figure out what tf happened. Thank god my husband is an angel and doesn’t care. He changed the sheets while I cried in the bathroom. I tried googling if heating pads can cause this but there’s NOTHING on the internet about this. Nothing on reddit. There’s no way this is an original experience 😔

Every month when my uterus decides to stage a rebellion, I always end up with some sort of urine infection. Constantly feeling like I have to pee, even when I’m sitting on the toilet and have just done it, but it feels like I still have to go. Though, the feeling does tend to come and go throughout my cycle, some days worse than others. Sometimes I’ll have the feeling for an hour or so, sometimes all day. Is this something anyone else has experienced?

Sorry if this is disjointed. I'm a little panicked. My normal menstrual cycle is about every 28-30 days and my period lasts around 6 days. 12 days ago, my period ended, and everything was completely normal. Today, I woke up with my underwear soaked in blood, I mean to the point of dripping. And the blood was pretty thick, like an in-between of normal blood and blood clots. My periods are pretty medium, as far as flow, and (as gross as it is) I regularly start my period in the middle of the night, so I know what bleeding into my underwear usually looks like. I'm experiencing very very mild cramping, far more mild than my normal period cramps are. And, I want to be so unbelievably clear: I am absolutely NOT pregnant. I am not sexually active with penis-havers AT ALL. The only other potentially related information is that my mental health has been beyond horrible since last Wednesday (6 days ago). This is the worst my mental health has been since middle school.

All that to say, do I need to see a doctor? I live in the United States, and I don't have a gyno, so I'll need to go find one, and I really just don't want to. But if this is super concerning, I'll do it.

Does anyone else lose their appetite during periods? I had a panic attack on saturday and I didn't feel like eating (common when I'm anxious) and I later realised the anxiety was likely due to my period starting. However since then I haven't really had an appetite. I am usually hungry all the time lol but now I am not. I definitely get hungry and I'm not completely repulsed by food but I don't really crave it like usual. I also have emetophobia so losing my appetite makes me kinda anxious. I am not sure if I have had this happen before but I might have. Could the loss of appetite be caused by my period? Does anyone else experience this?

I want to get a topper for my mattress, but I also want something that doesn't feel like plastic.

Something soft but protective, and easy to wash on bad days.

OR

something thicker and more for support that can be hand cleaned but thrown out after a few years.

ITS TOO FUCKING HOT FOR THIS!!!

Girlies please tell me. When your period are near, do u feel so low and inferior like me ? It's like the worst kind of anxiety. I don't want to talk to anyone, I don't want to go anywhere. I just sit, being totally focused on my depressing thoughts.

Everything is okay, prevention before it comes , medications, postures, food, supplements

Today's my 4th day of period and I'm having alot of blood clots I don't whyy ?? Is it normal or should I go to doctor

Hi! I’m not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but i’m really worried. I’m 16(F) and i have always struggled with extremely heavy periods, I leak constantly on my period, i have tried double stacking my pads, wearing period underwear, Tampons, The pill and nothing has helped. I got my period very young (9), and i still have no answers. I was on the contraceptive pill (Rigevidon) And bled everyday without fail for a year, i was then told im estrogen sensitive and have been put onto a new pill (desogestrol). I have now gotten my period and began taking the new pill, but this morning i realised i had leaked completely through a nighttime pad and period underwear, I changed into clean period underwear and within 40 minutes had leaked through that, i got home and changed into two nighttime pads and normal full brief underwear and within an hour i had leaked through both of them, as i was at the shop, i wrapped a lot of toilet roll around it and went home, within 10 minutes, the toilet roll was completely soaked through. I really need help and i don’t know what to do. My cramps sometimes cause me to not be able to walk/do daily activities.

I’m sorry if this is TMI and for any spelling mistakes ❤️

I’ve struggled with severe stress, anxiety and depression for the past 7 years. I’m 32 years old now, and got my periods at 11, but never missed one.
It’s usually always 30-33 days. Only in 2019 did I have a 40 day one, and in 2020 a 46 day one. I’m now on day 39, and still no signs of any period..
I always get sore breasts before my period, but nothing... My stomach has been upset and hormonal for the past week, and my body odor changed a few days ago (always does around my period), but nothing happened and it’s easing up now too, so fearing the period won’t just be late, but won’t come at all.. It’s giving me so much anxiety, as this has never happened before, and I have had an ovarian cyst (5-7 cm, fluid filled) for 6 years now, which I’m going for my annual checkup later this month.. I also have hirsutism, and slightly elevated DHEAS and androstenone, but never diagnosed with PCOS as my other tests were normal, and my periods always were regular. The only different thing I can think of, is I have been up at night doing physical work for a month now, sleeping only in the morning and noon some. Could that be a cause? Anyone experienced this? I have a low bodyweight, but not underweight. Stress never affected my period.

Maybe why it affects me so much is due to me being on the autistic spectrum too. This change in my cycle is just throwing me off, and causing a lot of what ifs and anxiety. I have severe pain on the first day of my period, so feel like I can’t plan anything either, since I don’t know if and when it will come now, the schedule being completely messed up..
Those around me think I’m silly to worry about and says it’s normal, but it’s not normal for me to skip it or go late..

I’m not pregnant (no sex life), and never been on contraception.

I have PCOS and irregular periods. I was wondering if anybody had any advice on how to regulate them. I'm already taking metformin (I'm on 750 twice a day. Might ask for a higher dose) in the meantime are there any vitamins or supplements you recommend to help regulate it?

Hi everyone! I’ve noticed that I sometimes experience pain or tenderness in my underarm area when I’m on my period. It feels like the area is sore or sensitive, and I’m wondering if this can be related to hormonal changes during menstruation. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this considered normal during your period, or is it something I should have checked by a doctor? I’d appreciate hearing about your experiences or any information you can share. Thank you!
