TMI period talk...
What is it that makes my body want to always have a period at the most inconvenient time/place possible?On a remote camping holiday with no toilets or running water? Perfect timing for a girl to have her first ever period, right? That set the pattern for my entire life.
More recently it's been unpredictable peri-menopause periods deciding that a trip to Melbourne with limited access to my normal supplies is a perfect time to absolutely flood. The sooner this bitch of a uterus dries up for good the better.
How can we all sync when we don't ever have contact?! Currently period pooing. Resorted to a Mirena 4 months ago because I was sick of the unpredictability. Then I bled for 3 months. Finally stopped last cycle but my theory about it stopping my period is laughable. Yours in super dooper long thick surfboard pads.
I get a warning of back pain beforehand anywhere from 23 days to 150 days. Thankfully they're not heavy. When will it fucking end so I can burn my old undies.
My app is telling me I have an average of 81 days, with a variation of 103 days. I get the old PMS symptoms that used to be a warning almost constantly, so I really have absolutely no idea. Mostly not heavy, but with a couple of 'am I bleeding out?' level thrown in just to keep me guessing.
