Open Letter to My Menstrual Cycle

Comments

oh, ha...yeah, welcome to your late thirties. it only gets more unpredictable. Big bad Betty and her eighteen wheeler! haha! she's a bitch. Kick her to the curb.
In our house.. she's Aunt Flo. This has been the story of my life since I had my first kid... here for two days... gone for 2 weeks.. here for 7 days... gone for 2 months.. like she thinks she has squaters right or something - Come and go as she pleases.
Well said!

God love you - you are funny as hell woman.
&:o)

My business partner had such bad PMT that everyone, including our workers knew her "week" and pretty much steered clear. My system was kinder to me than this, but I have a fibroid the size of Cuba. It's supposed to be shrinking now that I'm in my fifties, but...it hasn't yet. I can feel it pressing on my sciatic nerve when I'm trying to do sit ups, and occasionally I can actually see it popping out my belly a bit, like an alien. So more good news is that when Betty 'retires' she builds an apartment complex in your uterus.

LMAO! Oh dear. Maybe I accidentally passed on my PMS hell to you when we hung out two weeks ago!

Love it....I want to print it out, laminate it and carry in my wallet to once a month.

ROFL awesome letter.

I love my birth control, havent had to deal with her since June !
LOL! Let me know what kind of answer you get to this letter. If it works for you I'll try it!

Hmm, interesting. for me it's always been a slob of a guy named George, with bad manners and attitude. Always showing up uninvited and unwanted, staying a week, eating all my food, leaving a huge mess and leaving without so much as a thank you. Funny thing is, he's been George to me since I was a kid. Now I get to share the joys of George visiting my soon to be 11 yr old daughter. Actually, telling her about how I named it George and describing his personality helped her over her intial fears and she's dealing with it a lot better now. Now we wink at each other and nod knowingly. "George is here." is a secret code that we can share that will help us to smile just a little bit in our moments of misery.
I always envision Betty as a 40-something, chain-smoking, Carharrt-wearing, beer-swilling, verbally-abusive, man-hating bull dyke, who drives a big rig and gets into fights.
I never had much trouble in my 20's and 30's, but the mid/late 40's are getting worse. Less often (yay) but twice as much PMS (boo).

PDavis, you need to have that apartment removed! They cut off the blood supply nowadays and it crumbles, I hear.
I had such a lovely cycle in my youth. If I wasn't on the pill I only had a couple of periods per year and they were very light and uneventful. But then I hit 40 and someone decided it was time to make up for lost time. I'm pretty damn regular and I get a bonus bleeding when I ovulate! Fortunately the bonus period comes without the cramps, tender breasts, and general bitchiness.
I'm terrified I'll go back to the rusty nails period of my teenage years, when I had periods so long and heinously draining that I had the urge to suck rusty nails in an attempt to get some iron into my system.
Let's cross our fingers and hope you aren't stuck with such loveliness at both ends of the ride. That just wouldn't be fair!
I'm as soooo there with you on this one. Ha, only half teasing after growing up with three sisters, a mom, an ex-wife and a daughter.

Made me chuckle out loud... very funny post.


I feel your pain..seriously I am feeling your PMS pain and IT REALLY SUCKS!

Whew...
