Girls, I apologize that you have to go through periods. If I could I wold gladly take the cramping and bloating and all the mood swings...
But why must you be so mean. I know you cant help it, but I guess this is just a rant...cuz my sis and mom are started, my best friends (well my 4 best girlfriends) started or are about to...
I am sorrounded by PMS and its so depressing cuz everyone is so mad, even when I try to help them, like give them chocolates and such when they sit there and say I WANT CHOCOLATE...or cook them meals or get them warm water bottles to ease the cramps....hell I spent like 50 bucks in midol in the last few days.
Anyone have a time machine so I can just shoot forward to the future and be done with this cuz its terrifying.:(
haha thanks guys...yea I got yelled at for bying my friend the wrong tampons...I officially am going into hiding.
You now also know why there are so many different ones, wierd aren't we.
Awww, poor Ducy!! 6 PMSing women at once!!! You may want to buy a helmet and flack jacket LOL
As a woman I can tell you it's totally not intentional, and your kindness is very much appreciated. In fact these women will probably tell their girlfriends how sweet you are when they're like this and get you some good rep LOL. The fact that you're actually shopping for Midol is something indeed.
Hang in there, the storm will be over soon!
I would say just avoid them!! LOL
B/c if you bring them chocolate they'll turn it around and say something about themselves getting FAT! LOL
I myself have easy periods... I don't get cramps.... my friends never really can tell I am PMSing... b/c I am not mean or snappy. The only thing is I get emotional as far as I am always crying when I am watching my soaps... LMAO :D
I know some said taking Magnesium supplements ease the chocolate craving, if that helps you. Not sure of it being truthful or in their heads.
Wait until they hit Menopause! :)
Ducy, Ducy, Ducy.. now you understand the phrase can't live with them can't live without them so much better.
You will learn too that all the women in a house usually all have their periods at the same time, no idea why it's just the way it usually works. Don't go near an all girl dorm!! LOL I lived in one and I, yes chik, doesn't want to go near one.
Midol didn't do anything for me so I didn't spend my money. If they are going thru 50 bucks worth in such a short time is it even helping them? But I give you credit for going out and buying it for them, I know husbands that won't even push a shopping cart with it or any other product in it.
Hey Duc-next time, ask for a panel of a box so you can be sure to get the right ones ;)
knowing the color of the box and the brand will also help
God for a minute I figured a tampon was a tampon...but the heavy light normal, cardboard plastic non applicator...holy crap. Its like condom choices only more embarassing...
Now I had a hysterectomy at 32, so my periods ended then. Even as a woman I hate walking up that aisle, especially if there is a more mature woman in it.
Not a place to strike up idle conversation.
Try taking them to a check-out lane where the cashier is a guy. Especially if you also have pain medication and those are your only two items.
those are self check out items.
I might be a loner when it comes to this but.... I love my period!!!
I feel bad for my bf, poor guy but I just love being a woman, and if that's part of it, then I love it too.
I even love the aisle, the products are so pretty and the scent is refreshing plus the condoms are usually in the same aisle and buying condoms always brightens my day ;)
32 was quite awhile ago, still there is nothing I remember about my periods that I liked nor do I miss. I tell people getting a hysterectomy was one of the best things I ever did, no regrets. I even ended up with a hematoma and spent 5 days in the hospital.
Geez... I am 30 I have never sent my b/f to buy tampons. My mom bought all that stuff for me when I lived at home... but when I moved out... I was a big girl LOL.
I have never "ran out" of items.... when you end your period... you notice have much you have left...and you have a month to pick some up the next time you are at the grocery/Target/Walmart
.... and would never send my b/f to get buy them b/c I know he'd come back with not what I asked for... Hell half the time I stand there a good 5-7 min comparing (like Ducy said) prices/cardboard/plastic/light/heavy......etc.
To me... my period isn't major so it's just more of an annoyance than anything else.
Demon; That's when you can tell if your s/o really loves you! LOL! You are just a good planner!
Hm...
Okay, so. One time I was on a weeklong camping trip with my boyfriend and a bunch - and i mean A BUNCH (as in 1500) other people - but the only people who I really knew where down to 10 people or so lol. Anyways. The last day of the trip, I "broke" [as i call it]. I didn't even TELL my boyfriend that I had gotten my period, and I thought I could go through the day just using like rolls of toilet paper and stuff [there were real bathrooms and stuff, not just 'going in the woods', don't worry]. But my boyfriend figured out I was 'broken' just from the way I was acting. He asked me if I had any stuff for it, and I told him no and i didnt need it. But he not only took me to the nearest Wal-Mart to get it, he bought it for me.
It was one of
a. the most embarrassing moments of my life
and
b. one of the sweetest things ever.
Probably off-topic, but I just thought I'd interject that.
=)

Assuming the place you're at has self check out. Mine doesn't.
My periods are so irregular it kind of makes me nervous. It's because of my weight. I haven't had my period since July. I just had it. But my reason I'm posting this is mainly I'm nervous about my periods and I hope it doesn't effect anything if I get pregnant.

You are still quite young. Expect it to normalize in the next few year or two. If it's a concern discuss it with your doc.
yeah, well something just happend, I have Yeast Infection again so I'm going to go see my gynetologist Monday. I've been really sick ever since my period I just had has come. It's over now but I have a feeling something isn't right with my ovaries. It smells like blood and really strong down there. I cleaned and everything but doesn't go away.

Good luck in the AM!
