I know this has been asked before, but I can't find it in the memories, so please forgive me.

I'm going on a trip from June 26-29. I'd like to have lots of sex on this trip. But my period's due on the 26th! I'm not using any hormonal BC methods right now, and I'm uninsured, so I probably won't be any time soon.

Any advice?

Thanks!

I'm in the hut, ladies. So happy, too. I don't know why but seeing that red when I wipe makes me happy. And since I've been on bc, I don't get superterribleawful cramps, so my period is well, pleasant.

Have a great day, all :-)

2 weeks of the red monster. One bad thing about this depo shot. This is the most normal my period has been in one year.

I found out that we're going to be moving this 1st of July. And I have an appointment on the 10th of July to get my depo shot. I hope that gives me enough time to find a doctor and be able to get my shot.

Hi all. I'm 'in da hizzut' now. Yay. I'm 33 and have been menstruating for 22 years (can you believe it?). Holy moly.

Hang on... gotta think about that a sec. Hm.

Anyway, over the years I have had many women of varying ages tell me that my period would change over the years, getting lighter/heavier, more regular/less regular, moodier/calmer, etc. I'm finding that all of this is true, but it's still scary. Four months ago my period started announcing it's impending arrival with extremely painful and tender breasts. About eight months ago I found that I have a 48-hour "window of extreme bitchiness" that just disappears at the onset of menses.

My doctor tells me that because my period is a regular 28 days and my periods are averaging 5 days I have nothing to worry about, and my childbearing years are more than intact. I worry anyway. I'd like to have children before too long, and my mother never told me what age she went through 'the change' (she had her last child at 34).

Any other 30-somethings out there experiencing these kinds of changes? I can't really complain because my period was MUCH worse in my late teens and early 20's, but I'm a worrywart anyway.

im going to the GYN tomorrow for the first time. Im not really that worried about the exam, just kind of nervous but thats to be expected. Im basically going because i get really really bad cramps that i cant cope with and since in the fall im (finally) going away to college, i dont want to have to deal with it while im away. I know that she will most likely put me on birth control, but the thing is that im horrible with taking pills. I dont want the shot, but ive been wondering if the birth control patch would do the same thing basically as the regular pill would. Of course im going to ask her about this, but since this is a very informed community i figured that i would ask here and see if anyone knew anything. thanks.

Is there anything I can do to make my period late for I don't know lets say a week.

My lady finally showed up, five days late. Since I just got off the pill, it's my first real period in five years. My cramps weren't as bad as usual, but the lateness sucked.

Of course, one of my friends started her's today too, and we were both in super-bitch-pissy moods. The second and third floors of our building were no place to be. :)

Miracle? Probably not...

So better late than never, enter Mrs. Crimson. She was a little tardy in coming this month, started to have me worried that something was wrong. Was going to give it until the end of the week before calling the Dr. just to be sure, but no need!

Now, I don't know why, but usually I need to be downing the Advil every few hours or so to manage the cramps on day 1. Today, I could handle them w/o any real assistance.

I don't know if it's the combination of the walking I've been doing lately (I've been parking about 6 blocks away lately, b/c it's cheaper. Been doing that for about 3-4 days. So I walk about a mile all told back and forth between my car and my job.) or the bloody (no pun intended) pantyhose I've been wearing, but I didn't feel like vomiting today. I was surprised. All I felt were some cramps and the incredible urge to keep my pantyhose off of my abdomen.

Any ideas girls?
