In highschool I had really bad period cramps till the point where I was vomiting and passing out. One day I had extreme cramps while writing a math test. I only got through the first 3 pages of an 11 page test, then started seeing black (couldn't see) after that I forgot what or if I wrote to finish my test. The next day my teacher asked me if I thought his class was a joke showing me what I wrote... the question would be something like 2c+31-4=39 the answer would be c=6 but I answered 172 liters. When I told him I don't remember writing that and that I had ''blacked out'' in a sense because of my period cramps he gave me an F on my test and 2 weeks of detention... 5 months and 3 doctors later I was diagnosed with endometriosis, and the principal made the teacher personally apologise to me and any other girl who ''used their period as an excuse'' A few years later and although endometriosis wasn't the most pleasant it kinda made an uneducated teacher feel bad and learn a lesson/more respect towards girls XoXo

[@cherrykittenwhispers]

My cramps were so bad that I would actually faint at least once every month. My flow was extremely heavy as well.

My last period lasted 3 months straight and I finally got my hysterectomy when I was 29 years old.

I started at 9 and stopped when I was 51. I had horrendous cramps, dry heaves, cold sweats, diarrhea and very heavy flow. They were more like labor pains. The last ten years of mine, I had my cycle every 2 to 3 weeks and lots of clotting/sluffing. Sometimes as big as the palm of my hand. I always had horrendous cramps. They were more like labor pains in the timing and severity. The longer the cramping, the more severe they were and timed closer together. I also had dry heaves and cold sweats. My whole bed and pillow would be soaked. Like toxic shock syndrome. They lasted 7 to 10 days and was a 14 days to 21 days cycle. I'd sometimes stop for just a few days and then start again!!

I started at 9 and stopped when I was 51. I had horrendous cramps, dry heaves, cold sweats, diarrhea and very heavy flow. They were more like labor pains. The last ten years of mine, I had my cycle every 2 to 3 weeks and lots of clotting/sluffing. Sometimes as big as the palm of my hand. I always had horrendous cramps. They were more like labor pains in the timing and severity. The longer the cramping, the more severe they were and timed closer together. I also had dry heaves and cold sweats. My whole bed and pillow would be soaked. Like toxic shock syndrome. They lasted 7 to 10 days and was a 14 days to 21 days cycle. I'd sometimes stop for just a few days and then start again!!

[@gemmarium4337]

I WISH my period was only 3-5 days! Mine is always a week long minimum!!

[@Emma-gt2xb]

[@Muddy-Goldfish72]

I cramp for 2-3 days(I basically cramp for 2 days) I don't really keep track of when I stop bleeding but my mom suggested that I should.

[@Muddy-Goldfish72]

Also don't you just wish that girls could just sleep for five days and not deal with the pain. That would be nice😌

[@jordankrzyzewski1913]

Mines always five days but it's weeeird, like it stops after 2 or 3 days and then it starts up after 1-2 days off and goes for another 2 or 3 😐 I wish mine were nonstop, even if it went a week

[@EmoFemboyHunter69]

If your period lasts longer than a week, see a doctor.

[@jazzberrytart]

Would love for you to cover things like PCOS and Endometriosis!

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

I was never so happy then that day in my 40s that Miss. Period stopped coming around. No more cramps! Yippee.

This potential series sounds great! It might be great to talk about the connection to migraines, why do we sometimes bleed during the cycle outside of the actual menstrual period, what happens during menopause and what happens during the 6 weeks after pregnancy. :)

[@theanatomylab]

Absolutely! This series will allow us to go in so many different directions. We decided to start with "how it's suppose to work" then that will make it easier to dive into when things go wrong. Thanks for the suggestions!

[@noemidavolio5532]

Ladies, if the pain is excruciating PLEASE make sure you don't actually have a more serious problem (endometriosis, pcos..)... It's so much more common than you'd think. It's time to stop thinking that period cramps are normal.

[@maggiethedruid9010]

So glad I found your channel! Your videos have the kind of stuff I wanted to learn in high school anatomy and health class and instead I just got a repeat of what I'd already learned previously plus a flour baby and a rat, cat, and sheep eye dissection.

For some reason learning about how my body functions, and that at least those cramps serve a function, helps me cope better with that monthly pain. Currently on my period, and I'm staying in my pj's today, lol. I used to hate getting periods, and I hated being female, but nowadays I feel more appreciative of all that. I can't hate my body anymore for how it just functions naturally. And I love my uterus, even though the cramps hurt sometimes. She thanks you for wishing her the best.
