I figured this was a good place to vent...

I'm pretty regular normally - I have PCOS, but I still have regular periods so I'm lucky in that respect. However, my period is 3 days late. I can kind of feel it wanting to start though, if you know what I mean. Stupid thing should just come out so I can get it over with! *kicks womb* Also, I seem to be having bad PMS. I don't normally have PMS really - I get bad period pain, but no emotional weirdness. Not this time though. It would coincide with the time my other half is out of the country so he can't console me.

Meh!

Right, I'll stop ranting now, but if anyone wants to use this post as an opportunity to go "gah!!! why do women get all the crap?!", feel free...

Do you think menstruation should be approached with apathy or celebrated?
This seems to have come up a few times online over the past few days so thought I’d ask for opinions here, I do not mean on a personal level, although I do understand for some women it is far from celebratory, I would like a more cultural opinion. It is just another bodily function, however I personally think with all the changes of the body during this time, the reason for this occurring as well as what could come of it, and issues in terms of social attitudes towards menstruation in the past that it should be something approached as something more than just a bodily function. Thoughts?

Again repeating one of my questions from a previous post because it got no responses.

Exactly what is spotting?

I've heard it mentioned a number of times, but I have no clue what it actually is.
