Sorry, just posting to have a moan about my easily-led periods. I'm not sure there's actually anything that can be done (apart from going on the pill, which I don't really want to do), I'm just irritated tonight!
I normally have well behaved, fairly easy periods. A regular cycle, few cramps but not awful, normal heaviness etc. etc.
But if I go and stay with another woman, even if it's just for a couple of days, if she's on her period mine is practically certain to start. It's even happened with somebody I was just spending a lot of time working on a project with (as in 10+ hours a day).
I know they say if women live together your cycles will synchronise, but this is just silly. I've had three events in the last five weeks, all of which it would have been handy not to be on my period for, and all of which I have been (I knew I might be for the first and last as my cycle is closer to five than four weeks, but the middle one I shouldn't have been. But I'd been sharing a hotel room for three nights before it).
So does anybody else have a womb that feels the need to join in with whatever anybody else is doing?
If I were skipping periods I wouldn't mind so much! It's just annoying not being able to predict exactly when I'll be on and I'm slightly worried I'll end up anaemic
