[66/365] menstruating

[cosmolinguist]

I'm so lucky that the birth control I was given for my terrible periods has dealt with that by making them almost entirely disappear.

But I still do get the odd one occasionally and while I knew that, objectively, they're nowhere near as bad, now I'm all out of practice! I used to get a few a year and then it was even less frequent like that; this might be my first in quarantimes. So I'm feeling sorry for myself now.

But also much less worried about that shooting pain I kept having at work yesterday that made me think oh, my ovaries used to hurt like this! but that doesn't happen any more! The right one is causing all the trouble this month.

I'm feeling a little better this evening than I have been the rest of this weekend, but I've still got a splitting headache that I hope is better before work tomorrow morning.

No fair! The birth control I used did that for me, too. And the occasional period threw me out of sorts. I hope you feel better after you sleep again.

My headaches dramatically increased after menopause. I hope your menstruation continues to be sporadic and rare!
