My pituitary gland is in a conspiracy

[mayoraasei]

To coincide my periods with major exams.

Ugh.

I think for the past two years, I've gotten my periods during every single exam period (oh...2 and a half if you include the HSC). And usually it's because it decides to delay itself until the night before the stupid exam.

Does anyone know of a way to...stimulate menstruation...short of taking contraceptive pills or going to the doctor? >__>;;;

It's been 3 months since my last, and since it had been holidays, it's obviously not delayed due to stress!


...Sorry about this post, if anyone's squirmish about seeing this topic in public >__>;

Is it the pain that gets to you, or the hassle?

Or both?

Both, I'd say ~~; It usually really hurts on the first few days, and I always have quite heavy flow. On the upside, it comes about once every two months..when it decides to be regular. The only regular thing about it seems to be that it always lasts for exactly 7 days >__>;

oh my goodness, I thought I was the only one! I had mine delayed for 4 months once (though that was during the hsc, so perhaps stress influenced it), and yeah, during our extension 1 english exam it started (right in the middle of when we were writing our essays! argh! when I stood up, I had to quickly push the chair in and run away.. luckily everyone was too busy stressing over their next exam..)

I'm still not very regular either, even though apparently people are supposed to be when they've had it since year 8 or so :/ ^__^ what you described above fits my periods too =__=

btw, why do you want to 'stimulate menstruation'?

Ah!!! Finally found someone like me!! I remember asking Julie about it once and she gave me this blank look and said, "Huh? I just feel like any normal day."

Damn people who has it so effortlessly.

(Part of the reason why I'm not sure I want to go through childbirth is because sometimes the menstrual pain is already so bad)

Yeah...my one's never settled down ~~;;;; It would be regular about twice every year, but since it's usually so far apart (and if irregular, always delayed)...I probably only had mine about 5 times last year ~~;

Oh, I want to have it now instead of 2 weeks later during GAMSAT.

argh! who on earth is capable of feeling normal when their period comes? *insanely jealous* gah, I feel like curling up into a little ball and screaming "meow.. meow.. meoooow!*" each time =__=

oh, don't worry about childbirth; when I was in hospital I met someone who both broke their leg _and_ gave birth (not at the same time though), and she said breaking a leg hurts much much more. assuming we go through similar levels of period pain, I'd say it won't get much more painful for you when you are giving birth, if you choose to. (although, it will be more painful. just not much much more :D)

lol, I see. erm.. you should try to ovulate right away. *stare* contraceptive pills might be an option too, but considering how my mum gave me a ..talk (just because I have a boyfriend), if your parents see you with contraceptive pills.. =____=||| *hands fenglet earplugs*


~~

* but I'd scream in english, rather than in cat :D

..........Erm, Jenny, there's a big difference between ovulate and menstruate ^^;;;;

Begin biology lesson:

Ovulate is when the egg goes from ovary to uterus, usually occurs about a week or so after your last period.

Menstruate: the time when your period comes (shedding etc etc)

/End biology lesson

^^;;;;;;;

Don't worry, I used to think they meant the same thing too.

[jezjezjezza.livejournal.com]

*blushes* but that's what I meant; if you ovulate and then subsequently do not fall pregnant for long enough, then there's a reason for you to menstruate, isn't there? *crosses fingers* gah, I don't understand biology T__T

[luna-rainbow.livejournal.com]

"do not fall pregnant for long enough" (do not fall pregnant after long enough?)

Anyway! That's correct! Very good! b^o^d

[jezjezjezza.livejournal.com]

*twirls* yay! XD

[kwis-148.livejournal.com]

hm, ever tried the Azn doctors - herbs?

[beliael.livejournal.com]

How long have you been having periods? If it's been one or two years, it should have settled down to coming once a month... maybe consult a GP?

[luna-rainbow.livejournal.com]

...Had it since year 6 >__>; It kind of does settle down to once every 6 weeks, but every now and then it gets horribly delayed or skips one or something stupid like that ~~;

[beliael.livejournal.com]

Hmmm the people at Menstrual Hut might be able to help you out.

[luna-rainbow.livejournal.com]

Oooh!!! Thanks!!! That is a really cool place. Although all that talk is freaking me out....

Wow! Thanks! It looks like a really supportive group.

[a-cryptic.livejournal.com]

=( hmmm, can't really help since I suppose I fall into the category of regular monthly, though sometimes I feel like curling up into a ball all day >.< I know my ezcma tends to flare up pretty badly on the days just before my period comes. It's so annoying. >[ Newai, hope it will eventually settle down for you =) *hugz*

[quothraven.livejournal.com]

Mmm... I used to have really weird irregular periods as well ~__~... I think sometimes it's to do with lifestyle changes as well - and if you haven't been eating regularly.

Try to keep a regular rountine and it should settle down -___-;;...
