There just has to be a thread for this. Ladies, it's time to complain and whine about the dreaded period. What do you hate most about it? Do you get horrible cramps, back-aches, breast soreness, food cravings, and PMS?

Guys, you might not want to read this.

I've got 24/7 PMS I think.

Anyways, I get really bad back aches sometimes. Cramps aren't as common with me, thank god.

It usually depends on what I'm eatting at the time. Sometimes I have cramps so bad it feels like someone is carving out my lower stomach with a knife <_<

Lol. I get bad PMS, I get really touchy about the smallest things. I don't get bad cramps, except for on the day that I start. I do have a sore back for about two days. And my breasts get soooo sore, literally, a week before I even start my period. It's awful sometimes.

ugh it sucks. I pms, and i eat...A LOT

I crave sweets and caffeine ( did I spell that right? ). I'm PMSing right now.

same here. i get reaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllyyyy bad cramps, and i also get bad back pains... and i get bad pms too ... <_< i hate periods!

I usually have to lay down with a heating pad and block everyone out because when I'm in pain I get bitchy and take it out on everyone around me lol. So PMSing at the same time doesn't make it any better.

^ exactly the same with me !

:x

Every year mine misses 6 months and then it goes back to the every 2nd month routine, weird huh

only goes for 3-5 days when I do get it

I don't get cramps anymore, thank God. I think my biggest issue now is the mood swings. I can go from pissy one minute to upset to the point of tears for no reason. Sometimes I get odd food cravings too and to top it off I cannot stand my breast being touched let alone looked at.

I have extremely bad cramps right now. I have Midol in my drawer at work, so I will take two of those once I get there. Luckily, my breast soreness is gone, but man, they were in pain last week.

Heating pads are wonderful to use, Avada.

^ Very long, and very hot baths help too

damn... i woke up in the middle of the night last night with the worst cramps i'm still cramping bad and my back is killing me! so i skipped school for today.

i get very very VERY bitchy....that's about it..i don't really get cramps so i'm lucky..i just have sort of an "uneasy feeling" in my stomach for the first day...

lucky <_<

yea crampin is a big one for me, its so painful. how come we get stuk wit all da pain <_<

I hardly get cramps, I've only gotten them twice last yr, I was rolling around the floor to ease the pain it kinda helped and made me look stupid at the same time
