hm, i did a test... and it's def. not the tampons making me cramp to the point where i throw up. oh boy did i have nasty cramps this morning, and right before confirmaton!! but, those therma care heat pads are a lifesaver. and to think i showed my boyfriend of 1.5 years how to change my tampon if i become incapable to do it (read: sick, nausuos, ect.). he didn't think it was gross at all, and wouldn't mind doing it if the need arose. heh, i guess a servant is out of the question then ^_~

but yesterday pms was almost in tears for no reason, and today i had no paitence. mmm pms. least no bloating yet.

fortunately, i'll be done before my birthday on sunday. happy 16th birthday to meee!! :D

What the hell is wrong with your boyfriend? Changing tampons is gross! If I had a boyfriend, there is no way in hell I would show him how to do that-- especially since I can't wear tampons because I bleed so heavily I push them out. I would not tell him anything about the female reproductive system, especially mine, because it would scare him away forever! You showed him? As in showed him showed him? ::gags::

I will admit that bleeding isn't the cleaniest, sexiest, most comfortable feeling in the world. However, it is no way disgusting. Why do you hate periods so much? They bring the possiblities of life. They can also make you feel relieved that if new life isn't what you wanted.

As far as not sharing with men information on female reproduction... that just seems bizarre to me. Men need to understand how these things work. How can they understand what is going on with us with our cycles? If we don't give them information, they have an excuse to be insensitive assholes.

I hate my period so much because it gets in the way of functioning normally for me. I get nausea so bad I vomit, excrutiating cramps, and I bleed like Niagra falls. It is disgusting to me. I don't like the feeling, I don't like what goes on inside my body to cause the bleeding either. We can just say I've never had a positive experience with my period. My mother is taking me to get birth control to regulate my period and help relieve the symptoms. To me, a period isn't a blessing that can bring about life. Besides, i'm only 17, and I can honestly say a child is not in my near future at all. I'm still a virgin and I plan to be for a long time until I am married, so I can pretty much rule out the relief which it brings when new life isn't what I wanted.

Yes, I do realize now that my comment about not sharing information was kind of extreme. Yes, men should know some things about women's cycles, but I just don't feel comfortable really sharing that with a male. I'm a very private person, and I guess the tampon comment really shocked me. I could never ever see myself showing any guy that. It really disturbs me that my mother booked me an appointment with a male gyno, but I want the birth control pills so bad that I am willing to let that fact go. I don't want to live with the pain anymore.

Honestly, if I could, I think I would reproduce asexually.

what's wrong with my boyfriend? he cares. last period i became so sick that i needed help to change it, but i just let it go for another hour because i couldn't teach him when i was sick. he wants to take care of me... he would get me BCP if he were allowed to because he knows how miserable i get during my period.

i admit changing tampons is gross, but you get used to it. blood from a wound or my uterus during my period doesn't phaze me anymore.

he wanted to know about my reproductive system (well, how miserable it makes me once a month cus everyone's been to health class) so he can help me and not get offended if i snap at him or something like that. or, if i vomit due to cramping (it's happened before). one time when he came over i got a bad case of cramps, and he had to stay longer than planned (aka his mom wanted him to come home at a certian time) because i was hurting so bad. fortunately, his mom understood. i mean, if my SO were in pain because of something he or she can't control, i'd want to learn about it to take care of them. i mean, i cry every time he has a nosebleed for no reason because i care for him.

he cares for me so that's why he asked me to show him. it shows he's not a chaouvenistic pig like most men, and that he's one i want to keep.

I'm glad he cares. I am so sorry if I freaked out... I'm just extremely private like you would not believe. I don't think I would ever show anyone how to do that for me, especially since I can't wear tampons in the first place. My periods sound quite like yours, I throw up, cry cause of cramps, etc. I think why i am so skitterish around this subject now is because my mother scheduled a gyno appointment for next wednesday, and the gyno is a man. I'm kinda freaked out about that.

The first gynecologist I saw was male, and while that made me worry a bit, the actual exam wasn't that bad. Just try to relax, because that'll make it quicker and less painful, answer all questions honestly, and volunteer any info that seems relevant, and you should be okay. My period's not nearly as awful as yours, but I know enough to realise just how bad that could be. So, realise why you're getting the exam, just try to grin and bear it, and let's hope the pill makes things a lot better. Good luck to you!!

Re:

[pinklytaurus.livejournal.com]

I do realize why I am getting the exam, I want it done for the pills. I am not complaining to my mom the fact that it is a guy. I just want it over with, the sooner the better, the sooner its over with the sooner I can get this under control.

Nobody is making you show your boyfriend how to change your tampons. Just because it's not pleasant to you doesn't mean other people feel that way.

I know, I have a huge privacy issue.
