    Of course two days before a trip I get the worst period I’ve had in months. Pain, mess and crying.

    But on the other hand… two days until a trip!

      Mega sympathy! I’m much enjoying dealing with that less often, but the lack of predictability makes the emotional suckfulness much harder to keep in check. Easier to not be blubbering mega bitch when you know that’s the reason

        Mine’s pretty regular but still get blindsided by the emotional disaster I become for a few hours until it clicks. Stupid brain.

          Previously predictable to 13 hours. And possibly PMDD if I’d ever heard of it earlier. Choc/heat/drugs as you need

      it’s because you are relaxed and have less stress hormones

      annoying but true

      travel often makes periods worse because sitting in very upright positions for long times increases blood pressure to lower half of body

        I haven’t started the travel, so the stress is still hiiiigh. Leaving in under 48hr, won’t even pack until we’re a few hours from leaving. Thankfully the flight isn’t pretty short!

      Typical. Mine loves a good holiday and usually waits until I’m away. Especially if I’m doing something awkward like camping somewhere that doesn’t have toilets.
