So, this morning I woke up at 5:30 with cramps. Yay for Aunt Flo missing the holiday but arriving late nonetheless. I kinda like getting up early on weekends so no biggie. I figured I'd need to go pop some pills as I started my day.

I forgot to do that... because the cramps subsided. Yay! So all day I felt kind of "meh" but not bad.

I went to bed a couple hours ago and it feels like every time I'm about to drift off my uterus goes STAB STAB STAB! NOOOOO U WILL WAKEY NOW! until finally I give in and get up and drug myself. So now I'm up until it goes numb down there, I guess. I lost the mental battle of trying to resist the need for drugs.

Wtf, body? I don't recall this ever happening before. Usually no more than one occurrence of cramps, on day one or day zero.

I can has menopause now plz? All this bleeding is pointless.

Why did I hop on LJ and post this? Because when I can't sleep I MUST MAKE ALL OF YOU SUFFER BWAHAHAHAHAHA.

GET YOUR OWN WENNI! XD

It's ok... My uterus hates me too. I thought I was going to bleed to death yesterday... It was kinda scary. I think it's trying to kill me!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

O_o Don't bleed to death! Defend yourself against the hateful thing!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Never ever? Lucky! I don't always. I definitely don't have it as bad as some of my friends list here!

Doctor???? Pffffft I don't go to the doctor!

I've heard that too. Breaks up the clots more or something. Thing is, who feels like exercising when they're that icky?

Well, there is a tendency for women to start getting different symptoms leading up to that time of the month as we get closer to menopause. You and I are about the same age, and I've noticed lately that I start getting the stabbity pain every once in awhile the day or so before I start, which never used to happen. Like seriously, my friends always hated me for being relatively symptom-free while they suffered the typical spectrum of pre-period ouchies. Still, I have no real cause for complaint. Thanks to inheriting my mom's pattern, I guess, I only ever get that pain the day before and my period itself is only ever about three days long, maybe four days once in a blue moon. :)

TMI posts rock. Bwahaha.

I also keep thinking I should be starting menopause because I'm the same age that my mom was when she started hers. (took many years to finish though, even with the early start!)

Yeah I don't have much cause for complaint either. And even my PMS symptoms aren't as bad as others I've heard.

i never get cramps, but one time i started getting them bad like you mentioned above. i went back on the pill and it helped. no one wants to unnecesarially medicate their bodies, but it was better than having those terrible cramps and going through a tampon ever 20 min.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Oh yuck! As long as the cramps go away with simple ibuprofin I'm not concerned. I know people who that just doesn't work for, I feel bad for them!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I guess our uteruses (uteri?) are smart that way. Heh. So why can't we evolve to not need the whole monthly bleeding process at all? It's so pointless!

[designmusic.livejournal.com]

AHHHHH I hate those cramps! That's definitely how they go: STAB STAB STAB!! ouch. :( I vote menopause, who cares if there's loopiness involved.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Awww I didn't have them when I was your age. Aren't you lucky!

[elledwen.livejournal.com]

*huuuugs* You know, you can take ibuprofin and paracetemol (that's the stuff in tylenol) at the same time? I found that out when my mum came over cause she was in pain and went to the pharmacist to ask what to take, and they gave her paracetemol/codiene pills and she said she was already on ibuprofin. The pharmacist said it was fine, you just can't have two things with paracetemol in cause that can affect your liver. So what I normally do is take the paracetemol first and as it's wearing off (but before I can take another), I take an ibuprofin.

*hugs back* Yours are way worse than mine, though! I sometimes don't even need any pain relief at all. And if I feel crampy I like to try to tough it out without drugs if I can (so obviously they're usually not THAT bad. heh)

[ironjill.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeee, that sounds aweful~ ;-;

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I feel much better now!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand thanks to you I'm completely caught up on Heroes now. I can watch it tomorrow night like all the cool kids do! Yay!

[queen-meep.livejournal.com]

*snugs* Poor thing. I have been having similar problems with my uterus of late, but I know precisely why MINE are happening! Heh

Maybe you will go through menopause soon ♥

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'm all good now! Hopefully yours gets in shape soon!

[senatorsfan.livejournal.com]

Our uteruses (uteri?) are scarily synchronized, LOL. The same thing happened to me last night, only mine started stabbing me in the early evening rather than at night. (I haaaaaate waking up with cramps. Hate hate HATE.) Shitty thing was, I was at my aunt's and even though I had a pad in my purse, I didn't end up taking any Advil until I got home. Not exactly how I wanted to wind up my evening. >.>

My periods have been a lot more unpredictable since I went off the pill, bah. I know that's just my shitty reproductive system readjusting itself, but it still sucks. I'd almost like to get the damn thing yanked since it's probably not going to be put to any use, heh.

Anyway, long story short, I feel your pain (quite literally, ow ow ow). TMI posts rule!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Ohhh we're in sync! We'll see how long that lasts (I'm not very regular, hehe)

Cramps are all gone today, hope yours are too!

[nelliedrum.livejournal.com]

Yes, I feel your pain.
This uterus thing is overrated.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yes it is!!!!

[caffeinatedkate.livejournal.com]

Wtf, body? I don't recall this ever happening before.
Have you changed your diet recently?
Usually no more than one occurrence of cramps, on day one.
That's about what I get these days but they were worse than that a few years ago - before I started eating less and lost weight. So I think it's very likely your eating habits are a factor.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I'm always changing my diet! Eating lots of crap lately. Hmmmm.

[sweet-panda.livejournal.com]

Mine are horrible. That's the only time I EVER want to take drugs.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

*hugs'n'pets*

Here, have some more TMI!

I wore my underwear inside out yesterday and didn't notice 'til nighttime.

[azur-dreams.livejournal.com]

i had zero cramps this month it was sort of freaky! i take lots of vitamin A and biotin and other hair growing stuff and i found out that you cant take those for a week beforehand cuz it makes ur lining thicker!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Your icon is sorta freaky :P

Ewww we don't want thick lining!
