Awful Day!

[Brandy456]

Aweeh Becca, Congrats =)
I was surely paranoid when I got mine, and grateful for my moms' strict rules. It was my cousins wedding, I was wearing a white summer dress with pink and orange flowers on it. My brothers -on the way home- we're going to their dads house and I asked my mom if I could go with them and come back with them that night. She said it was already 12 and that wasn't a good idea. Well, I went to the washroom when I got home and there it was.
Worst part is that the wedding was in 2002.... i'm 14 now -turning 15 in 3 months-. Yep, I was 8

The average count is a 12 I think I run a 5 or 6 normally. During the time of the month I run a 4. So it does change.

My sister runs a 3 her doctor looks at both of our counts and always say I dont know how yall are standing much less living day to day live pretty normal. I may be a little more tired then the average jo but I do it.

What do you 'run'?

:?



And Bunluvvie! OMG embarassing!

For my iron count. I run a 5 or 6 the average person runs a 11 or 12.

I was talking about what jen said

I don't know what it was about my periods but I used to faint because of them. Went to the doc and they said I was losing too much blood, so going on the pill etc. was just a life saver because it made them so much lighter too!

Your iron is what cause animia.

sorry i guessed it was passing stools,... lol

 

[jcottonl02]

Yeah I know- the doc said that. Took some blood tests and said that i was, but said it wasn't severe. Didn't need iron tablets apparently, as it only happened like 5 or 6 times over like 3 years. I went on the pill I either don't get a period or its just so light that I am fine.

Was kinda scary though...being dizzy and falling over etc. and not knowing what was wrong with me

I am SO making that doctors appointment. Steve and his friend went to a conference early this morning and because they were up so early getting ready, I got up and made a cup of tea. When he left I went back to bed and promptly burst into tears. Why? I have no idea but I think it's because he didn't tell me he loved me before he left like he normally does!:shock: Then I fell back to sleep and woke up and cried again because I was tired. I am turning completely mad! Pass me the giant bar of dairy milk.


Sorry, to hijack a bit there Becca, I just had to share that with people who may (or may not lol) understand! :expressionless


And Fran, I'm on Yasmin too! Have been for a year. It was great at first, but the past 5 months or so it's been rubbish

 

[RexyRex]

Congrats Becca! I think that it's great that you will be there for your little sis when the time comes for her. I was raised by my mom, Grandma and my sister is 7 years older than me so I had a ton of support.

I have an awful time trying to find a pill that works for me too. They all make me sick. My period never bothered me until about 4 years ago, when I was 23. Now, my cramps are terrible and I get a horrible migraine the night before I start. They are so bad that sometimes I throw up :yuck

My doctor's idea for helping me? Well, it's to prescribe me a migraine medication that may render my birth control ineffective :rollseyes

 

[jcottonl02]

You poor guys- I never realised the pill could have such effects!

Have you tried Mercilon? That is the one I am on, and I have never had a problem with it.

Sounds like the way i feel when I'm premenstrual. Every little thing makes me burst into tears around that time. The period itself doesn't bother me much.
Sometimes it's actually quite a relieve when I realize that the reason I burst into tears over nothing is just due to this time of the months

If it wasn't due to that I'd be seriously worried about myself lol! I've cried about 6 times today now for no apparent reason at all! :expressionless This worries me as well because I wasn't expecting the monthly gift from mother nature for about 2 weeks and I'm going away next week to Centreparcs, where there will be lots of swimming involved!! :cry1::cry1:

 

[Happi Bun]

"Aunt flow", How fun! :grumpy When I get the gift of mother nature it's such a pain. I cramp super bad before getting it and during. Sometimes it's get so bad I just have to squeeze something and scream. Then there is joy of waking up to find your pad didn't do it's job and your bed has blood on it. I use pads and tampons, but I prefer pads. Oh and don't get me started on how fragile I get emotionally and short tempered.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but when using tampons make sure to always take them out before bed and use a pad. Your body needs to be able to have time to let it all flow out. Wearing a tampon all day and night is extremely dangerous and potentially fatal.

Yasmin is supposed to be quite strong isn't it? Maybe thats the issue. I read online they are bringing out a lower dose version called 'Yaz' this year.

Really? I tried googling it earlier fed up with being in tears but all I could come across were sites with people raving about how good it is! My doctor originally put me on it because I wanted to lose weight, which I did lose a stone and a half but it's stopped completely now even though I'm exercising a lot more. I need to go back and change!

 

[Becca]

Don't worry about hi-jacking the thread Jen - it isn't really we're still on the same subject - its all good to know
I guess headaches are my thing? I get a little discomfort but I wouldn't say any proper bad cramps yet - I just hope it stays that way!
Also my legs have been really aching is that anything to do with it? Or do they ache for another reason lol!
My little sister knows now and we talk about like we talk about bunnies which is good

 

[TinysMom]

I'm just now reading this thread - I'm so sorry (and yet happy for you) Becca.

I've almost always been irregular in my periods - going three to six months sometimes between periods - and then having my period last for a week or longer.

I'll usually be doubled over with cramps for at least a day - sometimes two. I think it is because I am so irregular and well...probably too much information. But I have a rough time of it.

I thought I was finally done with my periods as I'd gone 10 months without one - then when I went home to visit my mom a bit ago - I wound up getting my period again.

I have been given iron for anemia at least three tines - maybe four or five - I forget. We think that part of the reason that I get anemic is that I lose so much blood when I do have my period - I once had one where I was going through hospital pads every half hour - Art rushed me to the hospital for that...

Anyway - enough of my horror stories - one of the things I do now since I do know I flow heavy is to keep an old towel to put on my chair or on the bed when I go to bed...just in case I leak...which I often do.

You'll find ways to work around your period...

Yeah it might be slightly better as it has a lower dosage, for the mood swings. I guess it might be a trade-off, you'll be less moody but have worse cramps probably! Tell me how it goes!

Sounds exactly like me

This is why we ladies are stronger than steel.:biggrin2:

A comedienne once said "Girls try to lose weight and they lose it in the chest area. That's so not fair. Guys try to lose weight and they NEVER lose it in their nether regions...why is that?!" They would never survive a week with Mother Nature's gift, the "friend", the "curse" or whatever you wish to call it...:biggrin2:

And to Gracie, happy early sweet 16... I still remember my sweet sixteen party... back in the Middle Ages.

Thanks
It's so much a big deal here but I'm still having a big party

Who would have guessed this would be such a popular thread on a bunny forum, lol! I didn't use birth control for too long because I had my tubes tied at age 25. I just knew I didn't want children. I have never regretted that decision. I do wish that we would have had the options available today back then. I'm 50 now - and haven't had a period since I was 46. My body went into menopause abruptly. I think most women taper off, but mine just came to a screaming halt. I don't miss them at all!
