#period question

[cryptidwithaninternetconnection]

So idk if this is lactose intolerance but does anyone else get pre-cramps? Like your body is ramping up to take everything out but hasn’t yet? Please tell me I’m not alone bc I’m starting to get a familiar pain in my stomach that means cramps but I’ve not started yet. I’m mildly concerned ;-;

Possibly TMI but looking for tips/tricks?

I am attempting to make a switch to my typical feminine hygine products - going from tampons to a menstrual cup. I also happen to be a short (5') plus sized person.

This has been... not very successful to start, lol.

So my question to you all... are there any of you who use menstrual cups that have some advice for a plus sized lady trying to make the switch? I've found a few articles that offer some advice, but when the most descriptive sums up to 'it's a bit acrobatic' and 'have patience' without any actual advice... it's not super helpful.

tampon question for period-havers:

i bled through mine—it’s a super, i have a heavy flow. took it out only to find the top (the deepest part) was completely dry and unstained. bottom (close to & on string) was SOAKED in blood. how the hell did that happen? i put it in properly, and there’s no way it shifted THAT much without me noticing

Any folks on here have advice for dealing with hot flashes

This just started recently (like a few months ago) on top of the cramps, nausea dysphoria the universe decided you know what let's give him hot flashes to

I used to get randomly stupidly cold but now I've got the opposite problem and all my knowledge is how to fix that problem

y’all is it normal to have a period that lasts two-three weeks? asking for a friend.

Ok so. Kinda icky question.

When we were on vacation we delayed the bodies period (with doctors approval). Could doing so be what's causing the fatigue?

Anyone else's period cramps get A BAJILLION TIMES WORSE when they're hungry??

But you cant really tell it's hunger, you just know from experience that it'll feel better if you can scoff down a piece of dry toast...

So ladies I have a period question. I noticed it was there on Sunday but it didn't come down until Tues so do I start counting from when I saw it on Sunday or do start from when it came down on Tuesday?
