Hey Period, are you going to show up or what??

[PeriKerry]

I get so sick of the rollercoaster ride each month.

WILL IT, OR WON'T IT, START ON TIME? EARLY? LATE? EVER AGAIN?

I feel angry, crampy, tired, have insomnia, crave sugar, and ........NOTHING.

When does the stress from this all end? 😩

I’m with you. I’m 53 and want it all to stop!

Me too! Last month was 6 days late and the latest it’s ever been in my 53 years.

This month 6 days early. Wish they would stop now, insomnia is off the scale, I have a permanent headache. I’m so, so tired of feeling under the weather all the time.

It's just so draining, isn't it! I hate not being able to make plans re: work, social or even just domestic stuff. I'm sick of going to the loo and checking for RED. I hate seeing it, I hate not seeing it. I hate getting PMS but nothing else .... I feel like I'm losing my mind on some days! For the first time in years, I have acne? Like, what?? I overeat for what reason? It used to be my treat for suffering. Now, nothing feels like a treat and the suffering never ends!

Ditto. I started when I was 10 and I am SO done now. I swing between such bad flooding I can't leave the house, to nothing, to bleeding every day in April. I've had a recent ovarian scan to rule out anything (my mother and grandmother had ovarian cancer) and everything looks normal - one ovary has given up but the "other one is gamely carrying on". Well it can hurry up and stop please!! I have an appt with the GP on Tuesday to discuss what to do next, if anything.

Day 28 - no sign - it's not the lastest it's been - it's shown up on day 29

I can't handle the stress!

I’m 52. Mine disappeared for 6 months, came back last December & has been appearing ever since, sometimes fortnightly, sometimes monthly 🙄.

It's just so hard to deal with!! 😭My mum had a hysterectomy so didn't go through menopause and I have no one to compare notes with! I tell myself to just go with it, and calm down, but I'm a mess every time it's early or late and it's always early or late!!

It makes me furious too and I’m also 53 and started at 10. Like enough already!

Day 28, finally but insomnia strikes so now I'm bleeding wired and tired.

I give up.
