As a bit of a disclaimer, I'm vulgar and I'm also blunt. I want to whine about my life because isn't that exactly what blogs are for? So I'm getting ready to talk about menstrual cycles here, if that's not uh...your cup of tea, maybe find someone else's life to read about eh?
First and foremost, periods fucking suck. Every woman on the planet knows and deals with this shitty thing for, what, 40 to 50 years? Holy shit, most people don't even deal with their relatives for that long.
But what's even worse, is that this horrible shitty thing has the potential to get EVEN WORSE than it already is. A little stressed out? How about Mother Nature visits two weeks early? 'Cuz nothing cures stress like hemorrhaging rejected baby matter.
And there's actually a thing, a disorder/disease/BULLSHIT, called Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding. Here's a description of it from WebMD:
"Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is irregular bleeding from the uterus. For example, you may get your period more often than every 21 days or farther apart than 35 days. Your period may last longer than 7 days. It is not serious, but it can be annoying and can disrupt your life."
Basically, that means your uterus is going BATSHIT insane for a number of reasons OR for NO REASON at all!!!
I have DUB, and the reasoning is the latter. I've been to a doctor (many times now) and every thing about me is normal....except for the fact that today marks day number 125 of this menstrual cycle.
As WebMD says, it can be REALLY annoying, but it's not serious. I get a little tired now and again, but otherwise I'm just spending my life savings on tampons and pads. I really feel like I have no room to complain; it's not like I'm dying or have something super wrong with me, it's just....my baby-maker is fucking losing its mind. I have a few family members doing battle with cancer, and if they can do all that without being a bitch then I can keep on truckin'....after I get this all out so the internet can see it.
Man that feels better <3
