OK, if you're a guy, go ahead and leave now, because I know as soon as you read what I'm going to ask you're just going to leave anyhow!! LOL!! I would if I were a guy. Anyhow, ladies, when Aunt Flo comes to visit, do you get cranky, irritable and downright mean? Let me tell you, me and Ole Aunt Flo have it out!! We are the worst company anyone can have. But I do realize it, so I try to stay away from everyone for those few days. I know some people are cranky, irritable and down right mean and don't even realize or worse yet, they think they don't have the symptoms. What about you, do you? How do you handle them?

Me and Aunti Flo are cool peoples...Lol. I guess I just don't suffer from the normal cramps and get cranky. The only side effects that I get are cravings for more chocolate and sometimes a bit emotional. Other then that, I'm ok. Have you ever used BC pills to tame those cramps down? Some say it works for that.

No, I'm afraid of BC, isn't that odd? Maybe that's why I have 5 kids!! I'm not over cranky, just more like miserable to be around. Crying mostly. And, oh yeah, that craving for chocolate can be overwhelming!

Yes yes that might be the reason for 5 kids... Lol Well if you don't like BC then have you talked to the doctor about other meds? or are you afraid of pills all together? I also heard that working out can give you better periods.

Yeah, I just hate taking medication. I only take a tylenol on a HAVE TO basis. I grew up with some people close to me who were "pill poppers" and it just scared me enough not to want to take ANYTHING!!

My daughter calls her Aunt Flo also..sometimes people actually think she is talking about a real live Aunt Flo. Well, my daughter has alot of problems with hers and had to take birth control with hormones to help with it. I had problems more problems right before I started menopause then most the other time. Moods swings,bloating,pain,cravings is something we all had to deal with probably. I know it happened with everyone I knew.
