That's it really. They're shit. Two days of every month in pain to the point of puking. Bloating and / or diarrhoea. Irritable bitch. Distracted at work. Guilt about the environmental impact of pads (couldn't deal with mooncup, too painful). Painkillers either hopeless (paracetamol) or not usable (can't have ibuprofen due to ulcers, mefebamic acid gives me the runs).
Currently TTC so birth control not an option. I know pregnancy is no picnic but praying it comes soon so I get some respite! In the meantime I'm just going to scream FUCK PERIODS!!!!
