Dude. Honestly? If it wouldn't put me into early crazy menopause I often think I would like all my girly internal bits taken out and done away with. I hate getting my period. Like goo tla arguewithatree and Rebecca I manage my period using birth control - I'm on one of those varieties designed to give you one period every 3 months.

I used to get terrible hormonal migraines (2-3 days) when I had a monthly period and was not on birth control. No medication would help. Even with a BC w/a monthly period (and who wants that anyway) I would get those. Now, sometimes, I get those during my placebo week.

With PMS my symptoms have always varied. One time I'll get oily and have breakouts. Another time very emotional. I always get terrible cramps.

I'm a huge baby about my period, I think partially because I'm spoiled now since I get it infrequently. The less the better I say. I am not at all on the whole "my period is what makes me a woman so it is beautiful and should be celebrated!" train. I am on the "fuck this make it go away" train.

Instead of having chocolate/salt cravings I tend to have meat cravings, I assume it has something to do with iron.
