But, the week before, I was a crazy thunder storm of anger. I picked a fight with 3 good friends, then almost picked one with my roommate but didn't because I knew I was a hormonal mess. I cried, I was angry, I was depressed, resentful and just overwhelmed. It sucked. Then, I got my period, which gave me another rousing dose of killer cramps. Like, contraction level cramps. I would be kneeling over in my kitchen as I cooked from the pain. Between ibuprofen and magnesium, I survived. But not only that, the cramps lasted for 5 to 6 days, although they lessened but sometimes, they got pretty bad.
So, the periods are rough. This will be day 7 since I started and there are none of the usual signs that a period is coming to an end. Which, happened last time too, so I'm not worried. Basically, I don't get clots, nor is there any of the brownish blood that you see before and towards the end of your period. It's pretty much just bright red blood.
Also, I can't really say that they are that heavy, but this one was heavier than my last one. I felt the need to wear a tampon on more than one day, which really wasn't the case last time. But, I just needed the regular tampons, not the super plus that I would usually need for at least one day when I had periods with BC whatsoever.
Alright, that's all I can think of to report. My OBGYN said it takes 3 months before your periods gt lighter and less crampy, so one more to go!
