    Default This Sucks...PERIOD!

    Not the nicest of conversations to start up, but just wanting to find out what measures you other girls take at that specific time of the month when things can get a little bit nasty?

    Do you -

    Take a couple of days off work?
    Keep working and just deal with it, use tampons and cut string?

    I would like to find out, just in case I end up in a club where you sometimes have do do open-leg work. If your period falls on a weekend, you sometimes can't afford to take the busiest time of the week off!

    I cut the strings off of my tampons or use seaweed sponges.

    'Instead' worked for me . . . it's basically a cup that you insert that just catches everything. Sort of messy to remove, but you can wear one for up to 12 hrs. so you can deal w/ that at home. I've also worn tampons and tucked in the string (didn't want to cut it off, too scared I wouldn't be able to get it out!)

    I cut part of the string off and tuck in the little piece that still sticks out. This way There is still a bit of string that I can grab. I'm like Petals as far as cutting the string completely off, "scared i wouldn't be able to get it out."

    i use instead. But if it ends up being a more painful period or super heavy period than normal I take a couple days off.

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.

    You can ALWAYS take a couple of days off work. You just have to plan for it financially. For me, it was easy as my period only lasts for 3 days...for someone who has a longer period, I can see how that would be inconvenient.

    But, still...if you consistently put money away for those times...you would be able to just stay home and pamper yourself.

    I was freaked out about this too...just cut the string of the tampon and make frequent trips to the bathroom mirror with baby wipes on hand.

    Okay, I have a BIG FEMALE PROBLEM-at least I think so????? I was on the birth-control patch for like a year. I went off it September 2004. I haven't had any birth-control since then. My periods have been kinda crazy. But now my period I had it it came back 14 days later, the it came back 19 days later, then it came back 7 DAYS LATER, now it's been 7 days and I GOT IT AGAIN! I am really worried. Have any of you experinced this? And the periods are 7-9 days long and they are noraml periods. And I am always so dm tired. What would youall recommend? Thanks in Advanced!

    I hardly take off work.. even with a sinus infection ill still work.. like i will this week...


    so workign on the period is nothing for me.. i actually kindof prefer working because it makes my periods lighter and makes me feel like im working off all the bloat.. even tho im not really..

    Haha... that's a funny way of looking at it I suppose! You're a bit like me then Tragic Beauty, rain hail or shine!

    Poor Heaven-Lee... that's not good at all, I hope your body works itself out!

    I think the cutting string thing is probably my best bet! Ta girls!

    It sounds like your body is just trying to get back on track. Birth control can REALLY do a number on your body. If it's been like this since September (this erratic) I would suggest giving the doc a call...

    If I have work scheduled when it first starts and plagues me most, I call out. I dont think any manager wants a bleeding, raging, sore, cranky monster running around in heels.

    Hell, I've seen some clubs that ask you to take off when you get it.
