Oh well that’s interesting. I don’t really have cramps anymore altho I used to have them when I was younger. Still, I can’t wait til I no longer have periods lol.

I had no idea this was possible! I guess every intersex person is different though, right? There's no rules

I just can't wait when I get pregnant and have that sweet 9-months break from them pesky periods

I don’t think I’d ever want to be pregnant. It seems mighty uncomfortable lol.

Um mem... A pregnancy doesn't stop your period, it just postpones it...
Really, once you've delivered you have 9 months worth of period right after. It's what postpartum diapers are for. (And 1 of the reasons for the 6 weeks no sex after delivery) Both my best friends complained about it after they had kids. It's one of those secrets nobody tells women before they get pregnant. :}

I don’t think becoming pregnant is a good excuse to not have a period lol. I’d rather have a period than suffer 9 months carrying extra weights around lol. And from what I’ve read, once the baby is large enough, it’ll start pressing down on certain organs of your body. Like your bladder. Hence, you might just pee your pants and you can blame that all on the baby. I would rather not lose control of my bladder in such a way lol.

And then there’s diet restrictions. You can’t eat this, drink that. Or do this and that. Lol. At least a period only lasts at most a week. A baby will last monthsss. And then you have to take care of it for yeaaaars. Lol. I’m sure you meant it as a joke but creating new life isn’t really a joking matter lol.

Welcome back. Did anything fun during your Hiatus? :}

A bit of yes a bit of no lol
Went on a 4 hour train ride to see a friend, that was fun!

I didn't mean it as a joke, I'm actually planning a family And I know about postpartum diapers and stuff, don't worry. I know more than most people. I meant I can't wait for the 9 months break from periods. I'll deal with whatever comes with pregnancy and after, but that would be a completely different experience and reason.

My cycles aren't hard for me only for a week. I suffer from severe PMS symptoms, so it's messy for at least two weeks. Menstrual pains are also severe for me. It's draining both physically and mentally for me and the ones around me. I'll gladly not have it for 9 months or so.

I'm waiting for that pregnancy and its ups and downs.

Wow I’ve never heard of pms going for 2 weeks. That must suck.
Still, for me anyways, I wouldn’t choose to have children just to avoid pms lol. I’m glad I don’t suffer from them as much as I used to, when I was younger.

Every month is different. Sometimes I'm declining slowly for a week or two before the period. Other times I'm fine up until 1-3 days before my period, then it hits tenfold and I'm miserable and unbearable all at the same time. It takes a lot of self-awareness and self-control to keep myself in check and know when to back down on my emotions. Sometimes the pms symptoms last even throughout the whole period. But the only solution ever offered was the pill and I'm not willing to take that.

I see. It must be hard on you. I’m glad that my symptoms were usually mild. Apart from those times in my younger years.
