Y Halo Thar hormones!

And cue the part of the month when I try to not bite people, and Aidan tries to talk me into a sex change. Whee.

Me too!
When I have my period, the littlest things bug me. Like the little laptop touchpad mouse thing. I'm ready to smash it with my fist.

*chuckles* Most people talk about PMS, but I seem to just have MS, it's during that I'm all grouchy, not after.

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Er... not before. Man, I'm really with it.

[lanabananaotter.livejournal.com]

Heehee That's the same with me, too. Well, this time anyway. The worst is when you're all cranky, and you know it's coming. So you wear pads and stuff for a couple of days. Then it's late and you get too lazy to keep wearing pads and it surprises you in the morning! Oh well. I usually get cramps the first few hours and when it comes in the night I get to skip them. What a mess though, eh? >_

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

I don't usually get crampy before. And as grouchy is my natural state of being, getting grouchy isn't always a sign! Happily I almost always start during the day, for some reason, otherwise I'd get surprised a lot, I think.

Oh Gawd, do I wish! I just have seriously screwed up dreams until I finally wake up, go find some Advil, and then spend the next couple hours rolling around in bed in agony.

In the day time I can at least take the Advil in advance which makes things much more bearable.

That sucks!
I'm such a sound sleeper... and even though it's gross to wake up in the morning after a night of heavy flow, it still sounds a hundered times better than that! geez!
Not being able to sleep for pain is so awful. I think it's almost worse than the pain itself... almost.

It's really freaking unsettling having a period on days when I'm not actually female. 6.6

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Yeah... Well, not so much when I'm not female, in my case, as when Aidan's hanging around a lot. He hasn't been spending much time out lately, but he always takes the chance to make remarks about the physical advantages of being male about now.

[ellixis.livejournal.com]

I've had a weird period this month, due to a number of factors, longer than usual; it makes my intermittent male days just a touch weirder. It'd be nice if there were an easy/reversible way of switching.

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Oh yes! As mentioned elsewhere I've been reading El Goonish Shive. Dunno if you do, but man... if transgendering and shape-changing were that easy, I'd SO take advantage of both. Lots.

[ellixis.livejournal.com]

I tried reading it once, but didn't get far. People keep telling me I should.

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Well, it's thus far almost entirely about what happens when some people can shape change and everybody in the cast can get gender-swapped if they want. With anime-style ridiculous fighting powers thrown in, and lots of perverted jokes, but not much actual perversion going on. I had a lot of fun reading it. Matches my sense of humor pretty good, and the serious bits were well done too.

(CRFH's serious bits are kinda soap-opera for me sometimes, I like my soap opera silly and my serious bits with magic in, not the other way around.)

[ellixis.livejournal.com]

Hm. I'll give it another try.

Occasional mild gender dysphoria.

[kaura-nighthawk.livejournal.com]

Eh. Males get hormonal cycles too. Ours aren't as pronounced... usually. At any rate, fewer physical symptoms. >_>

[reaverta.livejournal.com]

Getting into fights and causing accidents via Testosterone Poisoning don't count as physical symptoms?

[jackalopejess.livejournal.com]

I've always wondered why I've never once had a mood swing during my period. I kind of just lay around sleepy-like for the first day, then proceed as usual. Eh, maybe when I'm older I'll happen. :P

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it changes as you get older. I used to hardly bleed, never get cramps, and never have mood swings. But those days are long gone.
