I only had very mild period cramps despite having PCOS. Instead I had constant idiopathic pain throughout my abdomen that only stopped after a total hysterectomy. It was interesting because my period actually seemed mild compared to the pain I experienced the rest of the time. 🤷‍♀️ Our bodies are both weird and wonderful. One person's experience does not negate any others'.

LUCKY. I F*****G HATE CRAMPS. ITS LIKE “oh, you feel dysphoric? great, here’s a painful (literally) reminder that you can’t get a hysterectomy because you’re closeted and broke as s**t!”

My ex was type one but I somehow could tell her [highly irregular] period was going to start tomorrow so we could get the pallet of aleve, make sure the heating pad worked, etc. Her doctor finally put her on birth control and then she made type twos jealous; light bleeding for about 2.5 days and nothing else.

Yeah it's more understandable with hangovers some get it BAAAD other like myself can down 1/4 a bottle of whiskey and feel amazing next day (my trick is trying to down a full litre of water while drunk)

Here's some fun information for a lot of girls and women: if your period is causing you pain anywhere from the point where you can't stand up straight to the other end where you're passing out from pain, it's not normal and something needs to be checked. It's SUPPOSED to be that the pain is mild and more like when you're sore from a heavy exercise rather than someone stabbing you, punching you, and whatever else. No body says these things because there's no sex ed in schools

This is one big reason I stay on birth control pills all the time- no more stupid periods, plus it was the only thing that stopped my cystic acne.
