Argh hate being a woman sometimes !!

[vacay]

5 days late for my period, going on holiday this weekend. I've only just fucking come on haven't I !! I'm so pissed off, if my period arrived when it should have I wouldn't have this issue.
But now I'm going to have a sweaty, bloody mess to deal with (sorry I know it's graphic I just get annoyed sometimes and men just don't get how easy they got off with life compared to us women)
My periods are horrific since having my two little ones so I'm really worrying now, new holiday clothes that I'll worry about wearing due to flooding

I take the mini pill. Haven't had a period at all in years. Love it.

Oh how well I remember! Very bloody (no pun intended) inconvenient!

Now I just have to pack loads of incontinent pants and pads when I go away anywhere. I gnash my teeth when people say when packing, to rely on your resort to have what you need. Yeah. Last cruise I went on, half way through I ran out of pants and pads. I tried the only place I could think of when we got off the ship (was in Norway, so not an out of the way place), all the local co op stocked were very ultra thin sanitary towels. Of course blood is thicker than water so I had to buy loads and pile them on top of each other. Useless!

Add to that the embarrassment when I went to Denmark by plane and was asked at security if I had a child. Nope. What are these then? My incontinence pads,,,,, Thank you officer, I feel so glamourous!

I had pretty constant PMS and spotting on the mini pill, interspersed with the odd heavy period 🤦🤣

I know if it works for you it's great though

Tranexamic acid is available over the counter.

This is why I had the mirena fitted.
Never having periods is bliss.

Well, I'm on day 3 now and period is already slowing down ! Not as heavy this month and late.. not sure why but not complaining about the flow!!
I did a test before it came btw, negative thank god !! Hopefully by tomorrow it'll be basically done
