Any of you men who occasionally read my blog---you can just skip this entry.
I think I've written about my hot flashes before. They've subsided now, but I haven't had a period for four months.
BP's renovating our bathroom so this evening we won't have a toilet for awhile.
Guess who started her period last night?
Alanis Morrissette should have added this in her "Isn't It Ironic?"
Why is it most men get squeamish about periods and tampons and feminine hygiene?

because they can't believe someone can bleed for almost a week and not die. it scares the hell out of them.
i haven't had mine for a while either.
Spidey's pregnant!!
It makes me squeamish, I mean really, think about it, someone walking around dripping blood from between their legs... doesn't sound appetizing to me, how 'bout you? - blu
no blu. i am not in the least worried about that. i am entering the next stage of my womanhood.
god help those around me.
Just be nice to that son of yours... how is the marriage going? please contact me in any sign of unhappiness. :-)
the school system where i work has a posting board attched to the e-mail where anyone can post items for sale or for free or ask for advice about things. anyway a few weeks ago i was looking at the free stuff and there was an add that said:
"free to first taker: one box of tampons-medium with cardboard applicators with one missing. hubby bought the wrong kind and i had to use one so i could go to the store and get the right kind."

Well, Emma, I think I can top you.
Two summers ago, I offered to go up to scout camp overnight with Braden. I got up there, and woke up in the middle of the night with my period. Do you think there's a tampon, or even a pad, anywhere at a boy scout camp?
I am also going through hot flashes; if starting your period means you are Becoming a Woman, I maintain that I am Ceasing To Be A Woman.
I haven't had a period since April, and I told Richard just this morning that I should give away all my Aisle 8-A stuff (since my daughter won't use my tampons, they aren't the kind she likes). In view of Emma's experience, I think I'll wait another few months...
haha Schell & Jilly

Kath, Don't toss your supply yet.

emma,

I hate having my period, and I don't want kids. I wish I could go through menopause and be done with it.
res. why don't you consider getting that shot that stops your period? that might be something that would work for you.
Also, Res, if you run a marathon once a week, your period will come to an end, period.
I have looked a period in the eyes and not blinked.
I have dear, fond memories of Alias Moi's "when I was in college I couldn't afford kotex, so I had to use rags." I often wondered if that's why her former name was Ragamuffin.
A radio presenter over here calls them "Tropical Moments".
I heart Alanis Morissette. The best pms music in the world ever.
REspighi ,
you can become anorexic---those girls' periods stop
--emma
they gave kotex and tampons away at the nurse's office when i was in school. now, they were the cheap kind that's the size of a couch cushin, but it was free.
do not ever do the pill thing to skip periods. my doctor had me try it once, and 3 months of no period was ended by one giant horrible 2 week period. i felt like i was an elephant someone had shot on safari.
jilly
Spidey, I think my sister had that shot. That's a good idea.
I don't want to do the Pill, because I gain insane amounts of weight when I'm on it, and I'm already about as 'non-thin' as a person can be. aka fat
Jilly that made me splurt my cup of tea over the screen.
Hysterectomies force women into menopause.
I'm hoping I take after my mom when I hit menopause (docs say most women do) cuz she never had any of it. Said she never had a hot flash, mood swing, etc., that one day she just realized she hadn't had her period in about six months and that was it. It never came back.
>I'm hoping I take after my mom when I hit menopause (docs say most women do)
omg, tell me that's not true!
Well . . . that's what my doc said. My sister's doc told her that too. Maybe you're not like most women?
