Menstrual rant....why should we go through this???

[glitzyglamgirl]

Just feeling sorry for myself and wanted to rant.

For the second month running I have had to take a day off work due to menstrual cramps. It pisses me off because up until then I had a prefect sick record....my previous cycles all seemed to fall on my 4 days off!

Why the hell...in this day and age...should we have to go through this?

Its not just cramps....its the sweats, the dry mouth, not being able to keep anything down long enough for pain killers to work. The back/bum/leg ache. The headache. The paranoia and emotional instability that comes with PMT.

The funniest thing is, I was looking forward to having the whole lot taken out after IVF...no more period....ever...but no. They wont do it for me now.

Surely there must be women in the scientific community who have wondered why we should have to put up with this crap every month...there must be a way to turn our cycles on and off without the need to mess with our hormones and/or have surgery????

I hate the world today

I agree something should be done, oh and the fact they rip us off shit loads for the products they know we have to buy every month grr
