If you're a female, you know how annoying "that time of the month" is. I mean, having to change pads and feeling yucky for a week is not ideal, am I right? But everyone has different experiences or different opinions on their periods. So tell me- what's the most annoying thing about your period?

The fear of a leak! I’m terrified of it! It happened one at camp and I was so embarrassed!
I have PCOS and started having hemorrhagic periods almost monthly about two years ago. My uterus is tilted too so I get a lot of back cramps that get really bad. The one thing I hate more than the rest is vaginal cramps though. Those will almost take me to my knees every single time I have one. I will make audible noises and sometimes my face will change colors. My other cramps are almost constant without relief throughout the entire period but the vaginal ones come out of nowhere like 'Surprise MFer'.
I don't know if it's just me, but I get gassy as hell when I'm on my period. That is the bane of my existence.
1. Cramps, I get really bad ones, i even ended up in the ER one time
2. I am a trans guy, it is a constant reminder that I was born a girl
Cramps!! I was an early bloomer so I got my period at 10. Ever since I got it I would have horrible cramps to the point I can't move and I'm puking. I would say, puking is for pregnancy not periods! (No offense to anyone pregnant) Thankfully I'm on birth control to help now. It's a miracle
I think the most annoying thing about my period is having to stand back up after sitting for a while. I am absolutely terrified that it's just going to all fall out, even though I know it won't. That doesn't stop me from being afraid. I wonder if there's a term for this fear?
When I'm in the middle of class or presenting something and I get an awful cramp and people are just like 'are you ok'.
I rarely ever get to see my friends because of the pandemic, and the very few times I get to see them, I ALWAYS have my period. It absolutely sucks. It doesn't hurt, it is just the most inconvenient thing on earth.
Ugh, mine is so irregular I play a little game called, "so, which day of the month will be hell?". And then when I actually get it, I have to be EXACT with the time I take medicine or else I will puke horrifically. Oh the joys of being a woman :,)
I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but every once in a while, either right before or right after, I'm not hungry. Literally. I eat soley because I have to, but I have no desire whatsoever to eat. Then after about a week I'll be starving for a week, then it'll go back to normal.
It's the most annoying thing ever, next to maybe a mental breakdown over NOTHING the day before it starts.
I stained my pure white school uniform in class. Everyone saw and knew, and the entire time I sat down in my chair :/
And also those leaky water that stains your whole pants for the whole time!
PS I'm currently on my period right now and this page conveniently popped out lol!
my skin gets horribly bad the week before my period starts and I'll gain weight (just water weight, no actual fat) but it's rather annoying because I'm trying to loose weight and I never know if it's because I overate or because I'm hormonal.
I'll start with the fear that the pads don't work and it shows up on my pants at school, then the cramping misery I can't do anything about, and lastly the constant uneeded STRESS!!!

my skin breaks out so bad, i look wayy too bloated and even though i have a light period my cramps are horrible and it always comes at the most inconvenient times. I started mine this year after my birthday, in january, but if they keep on schedule my first day that month will be.. on my birthday 😭
How about being trapped in the bathroom for over an hour and a half bc I keep bleeding through super tampons as I walk to the door.? What about feeling the clots bc their so big? Or cramps so bad you can see the muscles ripple in your abdomen?
