Perks of getting your period ft my mom | Illymation | AyChristene Reacts

[@AyChristene]

What are your period perks or disadvantages?

[@ashleybegay9472]

Hi! I’m early

[@ReverBo]

The fact mine started when I was 9, I was fighting with Jesus because I got my first period during class and the cramps I had made me think I was at the end of my time

[@dess.the.weirdo1112]

Well, my perks are my mom has been going easy on me and it gives me a longer break in school to calm down. My disadvantages though, I'm already extremely insecure.

[@evaniceface]

no perks. just pain. and waste of money. and angry

[@craptap2029]

One of my friend’s boyfriends thought having a period was literally 5-10 minutes of bleeding and then business as usual. He thought it was called a period because it was so short… explaining why people say ‘period’ at the end of a sentence. I mean??? I gave him a slight pass on the naming of a period because we’re from the UK and say ‘full stop’ at the end of a sentence rather than ‘period’ to mark the end of a sentence. You should’ve seen his face when we told him how long periods actually last on average as well as what endometriosis and pcos are. Moral of the story, EVERYONE needs to be educated on the body; it’s not only scientifically important but it also encourages empathy. (We thought it was pretty funny, though).

Periods aren’t fun. It’s just a Week, less than a week of Bleeding.

As a male, illy’s vid helped me understand periods a bit better. Respect to women for having to go through this.

I heard a story about a guy who went to the hospital because his daughter was bleeding, and the doctor said she got her period. He screamed at her that periods are fake and women just use it for attention. And when a male doctor confirmed it, he screamed "its a conspiracy!" and left

[@vaporean_boylove.0w083]

He sounds like the guy to not take women seriously anyway. That's how I'm seeing did goober

Perks of me getting my period: 1.dysphoria (not a perk but it’s something) 2.(nothing) 3.(nothing) 4.being healthy…….?? And that’s it 😅

[@magdaraya]

I count myself lucky and blessed because the lead up to mother nature's dropkick is usually moodiness and loss of appetite. When she strikes hard and true, it's a tolerable lower back pain and/or cramps with a ridiculously heavy flow. It seems tame and mild compared to what my friends, family and coworkers endured

[@adamk-paxlogan7330Sucks]

you have no idea how jealous that makes me,mine is a pain in the ass

[@tahraethestoryteller6079]

I was also in the fifth grade (can’t remember if I was 10 or 11) when I got mine Thankfully my mother had told me what a period was long before I hit puberty The only bad thing besides the cramps is not being able to sleep in for fear of staining the bed sheets

[@utlimatedespair17]

I dont get cramps but that happened as well for me, my mom told me but i forgot(it was like when i was 6 or7) and I never knew for like 2 days :)

When my sister first got hers I thought she was dying cause she always had bag under her eyes and I found blood on her seat. I cryed for some reason

[@ccappa2001]

My mom told me a story about her friend who got her period at school and went home, said "I love you mom, I'm gonna go die in my room." and went upstairs 😂 thankfully, before getting my period my friend and mom educated me about it so when it happened I just got a pad and I dealt with it.

[@DarkPrincessAly]

I started my period at 9 YEARS OLD. And aside from the first round being light spotting, I have spent the last 17 years with irregular, painful periods. My hormones were So borked that I was Physically Ill. One time, in my fiance's dorm room, I got such bad hormone sickness that lifting my head made the world spin. I struggled to keep everything down, until they made me a serving of rice made in chicken broth mixed w a lil alfredo sauce (gross sounding, I know, but I was starving sick and desperate, amd it actually tasted ok). I get the depo shot because i just have to go in every 3 months to get a shot. I tried the pill, but I struggle to remember to take my adderall. I ain't gonna remember to take my BC pills on time. The implants always seemed so Invasive, so when my fiance told me abt how depo completely Stopped their periods, I was sold.

[@Pillow1221]

Christene: oh wow 10 My 7 year old self: wait you are supposed to get it when your 12 11 or 10? Wait- i have mine right now

[@marissahtemple2802]

Omg! The period one was the very first video that I have EVER WATCHED on illy’s channel!

[@ccappa2001]

I first watched this video before I got my period, then I watched it after and noticed so many things like how instead of always the brand is never. My mom still laughs with me about that to this day.

[@tahraethestoryteller6079]

13:34 I believe the term is foreshadow

[@The-Omniveiwer]

I got my period when I was ten too… I already knew it was coming tho I knew what it would be like so i was prepared

[@Lunardoesart]

I got mine at 12 and about 6 months after getting it I was diagnosed with endometriosis, so I was put on the pill, well that was the same year hurricane Irma happened, we had my grandma (super conservative narcissist lady that we no longer speak to anymore) staying over because she lived in an area that was evacuated, she was staying in my room while I stayed in the living room with my cousins, sisters (my aunt and uncle stayed in my sisters room) so me knowing how crazy my grandma is hid the pills in my underwear drawer under everything, well she snooped in all my drawers including that one, she basically in her words “confinscated” them, and then that night I went to get my pill for the night, I looked and they weren’t there so I freaked out and went to my mom telling her they were gone, my grandma comes in and we both ask her where my pills are and she says “I threw them away, you are 13 and don’t need them, only people who need them are married or w****s” and then told my mom “you better hope god forgives her, she will burn in h***” my mom gave her 15 minutes to pack and leave before she would call the cops, and I remember getting my period the very next day, and the day after that I was brought to the hospital because I couldn’t keep anything down, was going through 4 pads each hour, and could barely even move without feeling extreme pain, my grandma found a hotel, and then told the whole family my mom threw her out “unprovoked”

[@JUANITODABOY]

My school " In Mexico " showed us let's say some interesting picture's in 6 grade

After watching the original video, I got uncomfortable because I thought she is not having a period anymore. As I learnt to understand more about periods and how it differs to anyone, I just want to know. Do you still have your period after an arm implant? I really don’t like the sound of not having a period as a girl. Don’t worry, I’ll try my best to adapt

[@vickypedia1308]

Yeah, she doesn't have her period anymore. Like how you also don't get your period when you take the pill, or after menopause.

[@pokemonacer]

So that means Illy can’t start a family when she wants to?🥺

[@IzzyRoseDoesArt]

@@pokemonacer she can always get it removed lol. This kinda stuff isn't permanent, you just gotta get it taken out and then wait a little bit for it to wear off.

[@Kelsey_0303]

I have an implant. I still get my periods but they aren’t as heavy or as painful (I got it because of how severe my cramps where) I just get sleepy and hungry. Though it’s different for everyone. It gets replaced every 3 years but you can change it or get it taken off whenever you want

[@TheBigJayAgenda]

@@pokemonacer Not everyone wants a family

[@nikecoro2606]

My periods in middle school were pretty bad, irregular at times and bad cramps. But one time I actually had a period go on for 3+ weeks and in a constant heavy flow. I actually had to go to the hospital cause I became anorexic. Then I got out on the pills, out happened a second time in highschool but when I went to the doctor who did take a look down there, they told me they had no idea what was up. Everything looked fine, no problems at all. I'm still on the pill but it hasn't happened every again and I'm doing better. Although I'm still terrified at the idea of going to an obgyn...I don't want to go and I think the only way I will go is if somebody else forces me. Like how parents make appointments for their kids to get shots and you have no choice in the matter, cause since I have the choice in going to automatically say no cause I'm to terrified.

[@tp7136]

I was also 10 when my period started, but I was more chill about it, I saw blood on my shorts for sleep and I told my dad- and I stayed home. Went to school the next day.

[@jennamiller7016]

I got my period at 10 too and it sucked!

[@mushr00mcass29]

i got my first period when i was 11(which was only a few months ago but my birthday happened to be the day after yesterday so i'm 12 now-), but it was a while after i went to comp and LUCKILY wasn't in school cuz i was homeschooled at the time, also luckily i was pretty quickly able to tell i was on my period and already knew what it was so i was pretty prepared, plus my older sister had already gotten her first period when she was younger so we already has period pads and stuff in the house. A few weeks or months before that i was already getting signs that my period would start soon cuz i was randomly having blood appear when going to the bathroom-,. BUT when i first got my period i wasn't 100% sure it was my period starting and that it might've just been another sign, but on that day i went shopping with just my mom for some quality time together, it was nice but occasionally i'd feel bad during it, it wasn't cramps cuz it would've felt a lot worse if it was, it was just small 'splashes' of pain nothing big. when we were going home i let my mom know (i already told her earlier about the blood) and when we got home that was when i knew it must've been starting, but their wasn't much blood so i thought it would be fine, the next day i woke up, went to the bathroom and that was when i knew it was REALLY starting, i told my mom about it and she let me know there were pads in the bathroom, i got a box of them and put on the pad, BUT i wasn't getting a single cramp, there'd be waves of blood, some occasional small 'splashes' of pain here and there but overall it wasn't that bad. which i'm GLAD AF- cuz ya'lls first periods sound like living HELLS-

[@spikesomerville3530]

I got my period when I was 8 - 9 years old. Meanwhile all my classmates go theirs at 10 - 11. Even worse, I was, and am, a very emotional kid, so my mood swings were kinda, ignored until they reached the angry point of them and my mum was like "I think you're period will be starting soon. You're more moody and tearful than normal." and ffs she was right. I also one time missed school in P7 (Scottish go brr) because of how bad my mood swings and bleeding was. Luckily, or unluckily, my period stopped. We still don't know why, I am on a waiting list to be seen by a gynecologist(?) tho. Like. It became irregular when I was 13, it became VERY irregular when i was 14, 15, and 16. and now at 17 it's stopped completely. As a trans guy who's period brought great dysphoria, on one hand I am fucking happy, on the other hand, I am fucking worried

[@MochaCup3956]

I was 10 as well lol. I always wondered if anyone else in my grade had it, but ofc i wasn't about to ask lmao. Thankfully, i somehow never got my period during school. I mean i did obviously but i never got it on the first or second day, which is always the worst for me when it comes to blood.
