One word. Periods. How to deal with them, and guys at the same time ? HELP?
Okay getting my period sucks. And, most girls don't like to talk about it but i don't mind, so open answers please. I got mine in 3rd grade and mine is heavy, with really bad cramps and headaches, and backaches. I get really short tempered. So what do you tell a guy when you have it & they want to do something active with you, but don't like talking about periods or never have talked about it with you. I can't say "i don't really feel like it right now " anymore. i've used that to much. Please help !
Answers:
Try to take a calcium supplement like viactive, I find that it really helps. Start Advil right as you start cramping, don't wait until you are really hurting to start. Keep on a "every 6 hour dose" schedule. Cramping alone can make you even more short tempered.
When someone asks you to do something when you don't feel like it, simply say, "sorry but I have other plans", which is not a lie because if you are like me, you plan to stay on the sofa watching the tele or playing on the computer with a heating pad taking the edge off. If it is your boyfriend, you are going to have to address it at some point. The best thing to do is just to say, "Sorry, it is not a good weekend for that. Buutttt....If you want to stay in and rub my feet and back, and bring me chocolate on demand, then sure" If he's not totally daft, he should catch on at some point.
If by "active" you mean sex, then you should be able to talk to him about it anyway. If you are that intimate, then talking about your period shouldn't be that big of a deal... if you find that you are not able to discuss it with someone you are having sex with, then you should not be having sex anyway!
