Urrrrrgh, I really do.

Most months I can put up with it because it doesn't cause much pain/hassle, but this time will be hell I can tell Tummyache, cramps.... BAH!
It's an extra annoyance because I am leaving for home in 3 days and wanted to have LOTS and LOTS of sex first

Sorry hon....no sex, bummer.

At least you get your period!

But yeah, it must be annoying to have it gatecrash your sex life

You know, baaaaad periods can more often than not be avoided by adopting simple lifestyle changes. Factors like diet, exercise and stress influence how regular and how heavy/light your flow is.

Women who do regular light exercise are less prone to period pain than women who do nowt. And the endorphin release makes you feel better overall, so that combats menstrual depression.

I've come across handy little tips on tampax wrappers. Like, eating fruit reduces bloating.

Peppermint tea. That is my saviour.

I think I'll be having sex anyway. Gross, messy sex.

I hate periods too. And now I am no longer getting any, they don't even fulfil the function of free pregnancy test. So they are pointless and painful!
