Hey, girls out there, do you hate the feeling of having monthly pd.? I hate it myself because of having different feeling of pain in my boobs, and around my abdomen. It's terrible, specially, if i do have dysmenorrhea, ouch!! I cant help sometimes but to cry..lol But i'm not taking meds for that, i'm just always on my bed and take rest..And i hate the feeling of having pads..But we are girls, dont have choice..

Hi cherriemae. Me too I hate when I get my period. I wish we didn't have to deal with it and I'm sure many many women don't like. Almost a week before getting my period I get cranky and moody. The first day of my period it's painful so I take some medication to relieve the pain. But what can we do about it heh? I bet you anything that if there was a way to get rid of it most women if not all of them would do it. Cheers cherriemae and have a great day.

No I don't actually. In my religion menstruation is sacred so it is an honor for me. However, if you have a lot of pain you should stop using the pads. There are some studies that show that the chemicals in dispossible pads and tampons can cause a woman's period to be worse. Switching to cloth pads or a resusable cop like a Diva Cup or a Keeper reduses the pain and other symptoms of menstruation. Some women even bleed less and for fewer days once they stop using the chemical soaked dispossible pads and tampons. http://www.cutofcloth.com/article_clothpads.asp

Most of the time I just go "Meh". Cause other than wearing something I don't always wear, and the fact that I never have an exact time (I'm very random)..there's not really any noticeable things for me to dislike. It's kinda annoying, and I always hoped that science could one day..fix that one little thing about being a girl. It's only rarely that it hurts. And usually on my abdomen..it's a really intense pain, but in a way..I find that pain's one of the best teachers. It makes one's mind think differently, more..sharply somehow. But I'm weird lol. I never have mood swings or get exceptionally angry. Unlike everyone else I've heard talk about it. So..I'm not sure my other learnings are exceptions only to me,or anything. I really would like to not have a period though.

having a period doesnt bother me a lot but sometimes it is stressful specially if I have that dysmenorrhea.I frequently encounter that pain when I was still in college and i understand how painful it is.I still remember that I did not attend class,I'm just lying on my bed the whole day suffering for the pain.I never take medicines too cause i dont want my self to be immune in any kind of pain reliever.Thanks God cause since I started working I'm not experiencing that dysmeno anymore.Regarding the pain in our boobs,its not a big problem for me cause I got only small boobs.I have this friend with a very big boobs and one time we meet she tell me that her boobs is her heavy load when she has a period.She even said that it is too hard to bring and it really sucks becuase of the pain.(lol)

I hate the feeling of pads. It feels like I'm wearing a diaper. I rather wear a tampon but since I just gave birth to my second daughter I know I won't be able to wear them for awhile. I've been bleeding for 3 weeks now it sucks.

Some months arn't as bad as others but there's not many of those so overall It makes me fell ill and want to curl up in a ball, but that just cannot happen so I have to live with it and move on.... It's not easy being Female....

I guess all women would hate the feeling of having a monthly period. Personally, i dont like it mainly because i feel really hot and easily irrititated when i have my period. That is why my ex-bf knows not to mess with me when i have my period hehe

I don't know if this could really help... but my sister who is a graduate of a human science-related course say that the scent of a man eases menstrual cramps. You need not embrace them or hold them. The mere fact of them being around eases the pain. I don't know if it is true. Try doing it yourself, and let us know if it worked. :)

I share the same sentiments as you. I dread that time of the month maybe not so much the pre-menstrual symptoms but my period tends to be rather heavy and sometimes it leaks! I hate having to keep changing pads,it can be so messy at times. And the worse thing is that my period will last for at least a week.

I'm really not so comfortable with monthly periods especially during the first menstrual day since i also experience dysmenorrhea and it's so awful, there were times when I can't even stand so I would just have to be in bed all day long. I do take meds before menstruation, 'cause women know if they'll have their period soon, just some pain relievers so that I can manage the pain when it hits me. One good thing though is that on day 2, everything would be normal except of course the period but the pain will no longer be a nuisance. =)
