right now i really, really hate being a female
Two years ago, I bitched about menstruating and its economics on this blog. Two years later, I am still menstruating and still not adverse to airing my dirty linen in public (figuratively).
Seriously, this whole menstruating business is so BLOODY UNFAIR. Since 1994, I’ve never menstruated ‘on time’. Even the irregularity of my periods are irregular. I envy those who can bleed faithfully every month — at least they know what to expect, and not necessarily the actual menstruation either. For me, the biggest bullshit about this whole business is the physical pain and emotional drain I (and every other female) experience days leading up to the real deal.
I used to get it really bad — days of mood swings and PMSing and I was never good at hiding it. The last couple of years were better — irregular as they were, I managed to mask the symptoms because it is unfair to people around me to suffer the brunt of my emotional outbursts and breakdowns. KY would remember, lmao! You poor thing 
But last week it was really bad. It’d been pretty much regular for a few months now, then suddenly I am not bleeding as I should have been. One month gone… one and a half months gone… well NOW I am bleeding lah, but it’s been two months since I last menstruated.
Not that I am unhappy that I am not menstruating on time. Sanitary pads and tampons are not the cheapest things in the world, you know. If I were a bitch, I could just drop blood all over the place and not get a spanking from my owner. If I were in the Stone Age, I could just not give a damn.
That’s besides the point. If I don’t menstruate on time, I still get the symptoms — which means I would get backaches and tummy aches and feeling bloated and grouchy for much longer than I should have. It is accurate to say that I have been PMS-ing for one full month now. THAT IS NO FUN AT ALL! I DON’T EVEN WANT KIDS OF MY OWN!!
Paul says I could have everything snipped off and the periods would stop. I wonder how true is that.

ya I remember the chivas
You could take the Pill. Apparently it regulates everything.
Sigh.. the wonders of being a female! Well, I am sure every female walking on Planet Earth will have a few stories to bitch about their monthly curse and both you and me are no exception. Yah, I used to have it bad too until I got a good gynae to tell me what the bloody hell is wrong with my monthly curse! Hahaha.. and after that, there was a remarkable improvement. At least, I didnt have that burning urge to kill whoever who talk nonsense to me or spit fire at strangers whose face i simply dun like! Hahaha…
So, suanie sister.. maybe you want to go and have it all checked out? BTW, that snipped off everything and the curse will stop.. well, it is true but your friend forgot to tell you that you will also aged overnight after snipping off everything! Yup.. overnight become lau poh poh not very interesting isnit? Yah..so, don’t think of snipping it off and start another rollercoaster of more serious problems which will include brittle bones and heart disease…
do you take evening primrose oil? they always help alleviate the cramps for me, even if I take them on the day of the cramps. better to eat in long term tho. get well soon, mwahs.
yeah Evening primrose oil works. I took in my teenage/cramp days. And yeah you can take birth control pills to regulate your periods or get rid of them altogether. But there’s the minus point of having to take those frickin things everyday.
I had to take them to clear up my acne.
But get rid of your tubes can still be problematicleh. The women with hysterectomies will tell you that.
I spayed my bitch. She don\’t bleed ever. Sure you wanna be a bitch??
I\’m just wondering if regular exercise might improve the situation. Ok, I\’m a clueless male and not an O&G, so I may be dead wrong. But my thinking is regular exercise would make your body fitter and perhaps more able to stand up to the rigours of bleeding? Or your cycles might even get more regular and manageable somehow.. but don\’t look at me if it don\’t work, ah!
Err…all I gotta say is dun take Paul’s advise. You never know when you might change your mind.
After all, Ryan is so Ciut right?
On the bright side, if you read Jingyong Xiao Au JiangHu, before he die, Dongfang-Bubai say he envy those born as female.
‘right now i really, really hate being a female’
Yeah, same with me. But what can I do. I’m a lesbian caught in a mans body!
‘I envy those who can bleed faithfully every month’
Mine come out my nose. Not nice. Looks bad in public with a tampon up each nostril. ;-(
‘One month gone… one and a half months gone… well NOW I am bleeding lah, but it’s been two months since I last menstruated.’
I heard that’s from watching Pixar’s movie ‘Cars’ too much.
‘I DON’T EVEN WANT KIDS OF MY OWN!’
Adopt a man. They are like kids, but bigger and sometimes can even get their own beers.
‘Paul says I could have everything snipped off and the periods would stop.’
But … I dont’ want my nose snipped off. [Other than that, it is true. BUT, then you get other emotional problems from having it all snipped off. My mother had one cause of cancer and she gets very emotional because of the hormone imbalance it causes].
You should listen to “Down to the old pub instead” by Stephen Lynch
But then again, maybe not.
i get my mensus monthly. however, the symptoms i.e. bloat like a pregnant whale, emo, hunger pangs, lethargic blah blah blah, comes 2 weeks before my period… which just means that i have only 1 blardy normal week in a month! the whole 3 weeks or so my bra won’t fit, my pants like suddenly ketat. damn i hate i hate i hate!
brother, look at the bright side. if u still got period should be grateful, meaning u still YSL catagory (young sexy lady). when menses is over before u reach “aunty” age…. u cry also no tear.
Yep, pretty bloody unfair!
Sorry, can’t resist
you need help. get a good gynae.
the advice about taking the pill for a while is very good.
evening primrose is good. i’ve also found that chasteberry (sold as vitex and i got my supply form the pharmacy in bangsar village 1) is an excellent way to regulate hormones.
take care of your general health too. eat lots of fruit and veg. exercise. don’t drink a lot of caffeine.
hope it all sorts itself out.
I dedicate this to you: http://jezebel.com/gossip/stem-cells/the-crimson-tide-321739.php
Ignore the article, but save that fabulous picture as your handphone screensaver or set it as your IM avatar . I cried tears of LOLZ when I saw that picture until I could oversee the overall grossness of the above article.
try yoga…it works wonder..body ache, mood swing, de-stressed & define your curve
suanie, try this chinese herbal concoction called “Ba Zhen” in mandarin or “Puek Tin” in hokkien. You can get it at any good ol chinese medicine shop.
Boil the herbs (RM3-4 bucks i think) and reduce to a bowl and down it. Its bitter and uhm… kum kum… but it works wonders for menstruation woes. Best is to drink after one cycle and the next cycle would/should be better.
ky: and u keep reminding me of it
mela: a bit lazy to take something everyday.. i sure forget one. can’t even stick to my antibiotics
notty gurl: haha yeah so what was wrong with your monthly curse? i think won’t snip lah. sekali i turn 35 and change my mind
