    Periods.
    Urgh.

    How long do yours usually last for? because mine usually lasts for around 4 days which is really short, i know some ppl lasts for a whole week.. in the first/second day it hurts like hell and just makes me not wanting to move or do anything :(, at least i finish fast i s'pose?

    When it's near or when you're on do you:
    • get spots?
    • have cravings?
    • lose your appetite?
    • get mood swings?
    • feel happier/sad?
    • cry a lot?
    • feel your face is dry?

    or anything else?? jeeeez, i get spots and my mood swings are crazy lol, i also have cravings for the weirdest/random things hmmmm

    also do you guys think periods are a personally thing? like not wanting to talk abt it and stuff?.....
    i always complain that my tummy is hurting cos i'm on my period- no matter who i'm with [boy or girl] lollllll.. like i'm on the streets going ''omggggg ho toh tung maaan, m doh'' LOLLL but then again i guess its cause noone really knows what im talking abt cos im saying it in chinese lol :b
     
  2. ok... there better b no guys reading this thread...

    anyway for myself yeah i get cravings, breakouts, breasts swell up n sore, mood swings and i feel sad for no reason... luckily i don't get cramps... just a lil bit of discomfort... and mine usually last for a week...

    seriously there better b no guys in this thread!!!!! >.<

    i cant get really bad cramps that lasts about 2 days and during those 2 days i avoid drinking cold drinks and eating ice cream cause it does make it pretty bad. mine lasts about 3-4 days and like i mentioned i get cramps, i eat like crazy, sore back and sometimes i even get a fever.

    sucks being a female during those 4 days!!!!

    I have only occasional mood swings and feeling very bloated. My sister has bad period pains. She takes evening primrose (which is also good for the skin), drink peppermint tea and does light exercises. It helps apparently. Some research that soya is not very good it induces early period... (not for me I guess but in my sister's case, her period comes earlier and a lot when she consumes soya - perhaps sensitive?)

    mine usually lasts around 5 days...

    but i actually feel really normal....just some mood swings...occasionally, i get grouchy for no reason sometimes...it doesnt really affect me/ my everyday life that much...sometimes i even forget that i'm having them lol...

    my stomach used to hurt so bad...that was the 1st 2 years when i got them...i just didnt want to do anything...but know its all gone...

    i dont think its such a private thing...every (normal) girl gets it....(almost) every guy knows it...dont see a reason why not talking about it =)
     
  11. aiya... i dun think it's a good idea drinking cold stuff during mentral... the stomach is really close to the uterus n the cold would prolly cause more discomfort... make urself a nice hot chocolate :p

    mine is usually 5-7 days...
    i get bad cramps during the first few days but it lessens...
    when my period is coming i notice i get an outbreak of spots n my hair gets greasier quicker...
    i know i get mood swings but i try not to over react to stuff...just try to relax lol.....
    duirng my period i try not to munch alot of junk food..

    but if i've been doing sports like b4 my period, then it usually finishes around 4-5 days....so yea....
