You all must have heard about 'that time of the month’ talks women have when they get all cranky, moody and basically an emotional casserole. It can get difficult at times and you might misunderstand her behaviour for something else. So before you pull you hair out, here's a list of things you should remember, do or avoid while your girl is menstruating.
1. Remember it is a normal, natural phenomenon of life not a disease.
2. Exercise helps to alleviate pain. Motivate her to exercise from the second or third day of the period.
3. Limit her caffeine intake.
4. If menstruation is too heavy and painful, please ask for medical help.
5. She doesn't mean all the mean things she says, it’s just her hormones talking.
6. Never point out her junk food eating habits when she is chomping on potato chips or gulping down a tub full of ice cream. It's her time, please let her be, you can take her for a run later.
7. Be patient.
8. If menstruation is very irregular, scanty and associated with obesity, it may be indication of some underlying disease.
9. Bloating is common during periods.
10. Hot water bottle and heat pads are a great comfort to relieve pains as they increase blood circulation and lead to flush of cramp hormone prostaglandin.
11. Always remember, normal amount of blood is few spoons to half a cup. More than this is considered heavy bleeding.
12. If she skipped her period and is sexually active, she can be pregnant!
13. Use protection, during periods although its rare but you can get pregnant.
14. Psychiatric medicine can cause abnormally prolonged periods.
15. During menstrual periods women crave for sex.
16. Don't force her to be social when she is menstruating. You might put her in an awkward position and piss her off too.
17. Smoking is bad for her and can lead to premature ovarian failure.
18. Get in touch with your doctor if
• Regularity of menstruation changes.
• Excessive bleeding and clots.
• Vomiting, dizziness, excessive mood swings.
• Scanty irregular periods with acne, unwanted hair and obesity.
• If you missed period and suddenly painful menstruation starts (ectopic pregnancy or abortion).
• If pain persists through out periods and after it.
• Bleeding between periods or after sexual intercourse.

OMG This is a bunch of nonsense. Any man daring to do 2 or 3 may be killed. As to 5, yeas I do mean what I say - I'm not an insane babbling nut. Geeze does this stigmatize periods up one side and down the other. Men, please don't read this.
Some girls experience these, not all... :)
having a period is no excuse to be a jerk. When I was a 12-17 year old teenager and I was emotional I NEVER would say anything nasty to someone just because of my mood. There is literally no excuse to say something out of line just because of your period. women are not impulsive animals but these days we do not hold so much responsibility on them. I've seen girls on their periods before and the girls I know may crave certain foods BUT they do not throw tantrums and flip over small comments.
On the third day of my period I'm a miserable mess. It's the heaviest part of my period. I suffer from endometriosis (which is a disease) and my periods are extremely painful. For the longest time people were calling me dramatic until I was finally diagnosed. But if someone were to suggest I exercise on the third day or any day during my period they would be told to get fucked. That would irritate me so bad. Pretty much don't try to get me to do anything because I'll rip your face off as I'm a miserable, painful and emotional mess. You say she doesn't mean the things she says? That's not necessarily true in fact I've been so angry over someone going oh, you're just on your period so I'm not going to take this to heart. Literally holding back from stabbing them because it had nothing to do with my period. Not to mention I have bipolar disorder so I often get people saying they don't take me seriously when I'm angry because it's probably just the bipolar talking. I tell them to fuck off. I don't crave sex at all on my period. Never. Maybe right before but during my period touch me and I'll bite your fucking finger off. I get beyond irritated on my period even someone trying to hug me annoys me. If someone chews with their mouth open I'll go into my room and scream into a pillow. I don't see what smoking has to do with this. Smoking is bad for anyone... "period" lol.
Of course a male who has no clue what it's like to go through this would give it a thumbs down lol.
I'm supposed to get tested for endometriosis soon... I'm kinda scared tbh
@helloitsmethere do was scared too but it's best to have a proper diagnosis. There can be complications sometimes after like infection but luckily that didn't happen for me. Don't let that scare you though but so your research
*I was scared
I have 2 day periods and maybe 1 day of pms MAYBE most likely not tho.
have no clue why im saying this lol...
You're lucky. I have 7 -8 day periods and they're super heavy bleeding
@Youdoyouboo im sorry :(
Let's switch uteruses...
@helloitsmethere i like mine tho lol i rather not have them at all i know i dont want to give birth i never have yet i have to keep this stupid thing
"5. She doesn't mean all the mean things she says, it’s just her hormones talking."
I used to abide by this, but after a few very nasty women said some very nasty things, I don't let this go as an excuse anymore.
If I had hormonal issues and said something nasty, would I be allowed to get away with it? No.
However, I'm always considerate, I usually have chocolate and a hot water bottle ready
... and when guys say nasty things... 😏 What do we blame?
@Poppykate you blame "being a jerk", as you do when a woman is being nasty.
Lol. I am usually pretty forgiving when it comes to things that people say. Things get said in anger, in hurt, etc. it's usually not what the person truly feels, so why hold it against them!
Bu the way.. you are always welcomed at my house with a hot water bottle and chocolate!
