Damn some of y’all have it rough! My period isn’t too bad EXCEPT it’s heavy af for like two days and lasts a whole 7. Sometimes even longer
. The rest just kind of trickle, which is trash because I just want it over with.
Get the cu iud to minimize it
All of that is because of this though. With the copper iud I bleed like a dying banshee AND my cycle comes EVERY 2.5 WEEKS! I damn near want to get it taken out, but I can’t deal with hormones and I need something. I had to start buying ultra tampons. I was traveling and stayed in a hostel and this German girl saw the giant tampons and was like omg! What are those?! Lol I told her about the iud, and she was just like
. I will say over time it gets better, but it’s still a hassle.
My cramps aren’t bad at all, my breasts swell up and get sensitive, and I get kind of sensitive. I remember I had a rough one and cried at a commercial
. Luckily, it’s usually not that bad. I just need both sweet and salty snacks. Random, but popcorn and chocolate chips (a period concoction I just threw together in a moment of desperation) is amazing. I also always want some Reese’s, potato chips or gummy bears. I try to only have healthy sweet snacks around because I will straight up bake a cake or some cookies if I don’t feel like leaving the house and a craving strikes. I always have sugar cookie ingredients lol.
The first few days I’m dangerously horny, but my guy won’t even touch me
. I guess I don’t blame him, but the first two days are usually nothing, sometimes I can catch him
