It seems like sloppy bastards are a thing that happens to most people, and yet no one talks about it. I'd like to talk about it.

I am past that time, but yes my experience was -

Before period, but past ovulation, the premenstrual - a little too much energy, so much sex drive, good appetite, a little constipated.

As soon as period starts, everything lets go. Horrible migraine, loose stools, no appetite. So bad for about 3 days then after that it was just blood. That drop in hormones that lets the period start can be brutal, and right at ovulation a mini version of the same drop happens, which I always found perplexing, because it tanked my sex drive. Seems like bad design.

That's how I always knew my period was about to start: diarrhea city.

[–] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Not necessarily on the first day, but period poos are the fucking worst.

[–] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

For me they're always the most uncomfortable due to the...feeling of them, but they're also by far the most gratifying afterwards.

I just feel like I relieve so much pressure/bloat and my cramps are temporarily alleviated.

[–] Lennnny@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Omg yes. So much technicality too. Like, I just put a tampon in, these things are expensive.

[–] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

The only time I have ever had a tampon come out on its own, even partially, was during a super heavy flow day as I was on the pot. That was one of the singular most unpleasant feelings I've had on a toilet.

[–] eRac@lemmings.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My wife does. It's rough in a one-toilet apartment some months.

[–] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Oh jesus, between this reason and the fact that my husband's guts are a legit mixing ground for chemical warfare, our marriage would not survive a one bathroom household.

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Not specifically the first day, no. But in general during my period yes.

[–] Bluetreefrog@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

OP, please re-word to be an open-ended question.

[–] Lennnny@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Done, sorry. Btw how are your shits?

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Often but not always.
