Ahhh the joy of being a woman wifey lolol This post made me laugh.
I'm very in tune with my body - my family history of female cancers has me hypervigilant to any changes in my body - thus, I just recently I picked up on something being wrong way before my Dr did. Thankfully it wasn't anything too insidious, but post surgery I'm feeling much better.
Periods are hideous things. I don't really experience PMS....I remember I did as a teenager though! OMG my poor mother! lolol
When I ovulate I am horny as hell - I call this the 'cavewoman' effect - it's our bodies way of saying to the lads 'I'm ripe! Pick me to procreate with!' lol If only it were that simple!
And yes, the pain during menses can be yucko. I've had pain like that for the last 6 months because of this 'issue' - it's only now ebbing away, thank god!
Exercise always seemed to help though. Perhaps just psychologically taking my mind off it did the trick? I don't know...
Anywho, thanks for the chuckle...too true, too true
