Of course the answer is no if you are TTC. But if you are not...
I always feel great the day AF arrives, like today! I don't have many PMS symptoms in general though. I do usually break out.
-
@Andrea: You nuts.
I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate my period. But, because I'm a control freak, when I was on the pill I used to enjoy estimating the exact hour AF would arrive.
THIS particular visit from AF that I had this week is rudely unexpected and many months too early, in my opinion. *hmph*
-
@Rubies: lol when I was on the pill, my period would come Tuesday between 4pm and 8pm like clockwork. I would get so paranoid if it was anytime after that.
I am on my second cycle off the pill. For some reason, the pill made AF really long (like 8-9 days) and I thought it usually shortens periods? We were TTC last cycle (first one off the pill), but not expecting too much. I was actually relieved when AF came because I was worried about it taking months. AF was shorter and lighter than when I was on the pill....weird.
-
Well, back before we tried to get pregnant, yes! At least now I know that I show signs of pregnancy before af even shows.
-
@Rubies: hehe. I was thinking of you when I started the topic.
I know, I must be nuts but I swear I get some kind of hormonal high the day my period starts.
-
I'm like Andrea. I actually feel better on my period, than any other week of the month.
-
I used to love getting my period.
Now I don't mind it.. Just don't like when I leak!
-
No no no I hate it! I take the pill where I only get it every 3 months. I especially hate it because I'll always get a migraine then.. Although now that's really not any different from every other day.... but when I used to get them less often that sucked.
-
I understand, I think that day or the day before I have a lot more energy.
-
@BabyBoecksMom: @MrsH: Yay for happy periods! Hehe.
-
We're waiting to try, so I'm relieved, but the first two days of my period are miiiiiiserable, so happy would not describe my emotional state whatsoever. I'm jealous of those of you who feel GOOD on your period!
-
i LOVE not having my period. will be sad when i get it again. what a pain to wear all those pads.
-
I hate it. The first day of my period my cramps are almos unbearable. I'm useless for a few hours because the cramps make me vomit and after all that is done I'm exhausted and nap. A couple of months ago I felt cramps coming on so asked my boss if I could leave early. She said ok and I practically ran out of her office. I threw up in the bushes praying the whole time that she couldn't see me! It was awful!
-
We're TTC, but I have to say, I'm happy when AF comes.
Let me clarify, haha. By the time AF actually shows, my temperatures have been really low for two days beforehand, so I KNOW its coming and that I'm not pregnant. When it finally shows, I'm just relieved that I can start a new cycle.
But days 2&3 are HELL for me. My cramps used to make me black out. -
@Leialou: @redsmarties: sorry about those awful cramps. my mom was the same way and she used to lie on the couch for days moaning. i am lucky that she didn't pass that down to me. and good luck to you both with TTC!
-
Thank you @andrea!
-
Yes, it seems like when it finally gets here, the nerves and irritability are gone.LOL I don't have mine often (IUD) but when it comes it's a relief.
-
I'm always glad on day 1--either I'm ready to try again, or I'm glad I'm not pregnant!
Then, after a few hours (or a day), I'm not happy about it anymore.
-
Not particularly. While I don't have horrible PMS symptoms like cramping, I do breakout crazily and get canker sores.
-
Before there was a little relief when AF would come, but I am in no way missing her now!! I'm loving the freedom!
-
ummm that would be no. Even when I wasnt TTC, it was nothing to look forward to. I have always hated having my period. It sucks!!
Now I don't mind it.. Just don't like when I leak!
