I used to have SUCH heavy periods during my teenage years that I kept on producing a huge blood spot at the back of my skirt (we wore uniforms at school). I hated that so much since it was embarrassing. Plus back then I think the sanitary pads weren't too highly absorbent and they weren't winged. I LOVE winged sanitary pads!!! They're really amazing he he he he...plus these days they are really MUCH thinner than what they used to be.
Funny thing was that I began to feel PMS more than when I was still taking the birth control pills. Or maybe another cause is that I've been busier these days and when I get tired, it's easy for me to be cranky. I'm SO grateful that my hubby isn't someone who's easily angered or upset. However, I promise myself that I'd do anything within my power to control myself when PMS hits me he he he...
I must say, though, that I don't really like making love with condoms, but what more can I say? I don't want to be pregnant yet since I want to go to Indonesia first after my course is finished, so I just have to bear it until then and I'm looking forward to the days without condoms. ;-D
One thing about PMS...I'd LOVE it if men can undergo just one day when PMS hits a woman so badly...maybe then they'll understand better what's going on he he he he...because honestly speaking, it's really indescribable sometimes. Funny thing is that I had been PMS free during my pill days. Weird, isn't it? Strange but true he he he...
Anyway, I SALUTE men who put up with women during their PMS days and don't make silly jokes about it and don't say anything negative about it. :-D
I think I'm one of the lucky women who never experienced PMS, but my daughter isn't.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Amel.
I get it every once in awhile. Mostly I'm aware that I feel more exhausted in the run up to woman's week. Not cranky so much - well sometimes - but definitely lacking energy.
ReplyDeleteI tend to get so tired, sometimes I can't even keep myself awake at the office. I also get very irritated with the kids. On the day before period starts, I become moody and quiet and definitely more emotional. It's really quite impossible to control these things that happen during PMS.
ReplyDeleteSo..you are going to Indonesia, Amel??? Congratulation :D
ReplyDeleteA Simple Life: You never experienced PMS? WOW!!! SO LUCKY indeed!!! :-))) You too, have a GREAT weekend!
ReplyDeleteFish: Yeah, I also feel more exhausted and I need more sleep during PMS he he he he...and I tend to be more emotional (I cry easily).
Blur: Yeah, I have the same symptoms he he he...Being sleepy and I cry easily when watching movies he he he...You're right, it's quite impossible to control it...but I plan on trying to control what comes out of my mouth he he he...
Juliana: It's not fixed yet, Jul. I'll let you know when I've bought the ticket ha ha ha ha...Right now I still don't get the student money yet, so I can't book the ticket. Besides, have to wait till Arttu finds out whether he can come with me or not.

Jeanne: So a multivitamin for women helps you? Then I should take it every morning, too. I usually only take it near my period and during my period, not every morning he he he...
ReplyDeleteMimi Lenox: THANKS SO MUCH for the link. I LOVE the idea of the floating message in a bottle. ;-D
Wow! I'm glad I read this section and got an education. I thought all women get that, the only difference was varying degrees of pain. Shows how much I know.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that condoms are a "drag"; we still use them. The alternative is worse, tho'. We won't stop until she reaches menapause, so we got 10 more years of using them.
Vince: Well, I read that 70-90% of women get PMS, so it's only normal that we think that "all" women get it since there are so many who suffer PMS he he he...
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know what you mean about "the alternative". I think if we can afford it, Arttu's going to undergo vasectomy after we decide that we have enough kids he he he...
